5E /5G
The Multimec 5E and 5G series is the new generation
of the existing 3A, 3C, 3E, 3F, 4A and 4Fmultimec
switches. The 5E and 5G series is a narrower product
line, but the flexibility is more advanced. The switches
will be supplied in high temperature material only to
stand today’s advanced soldering processes. The
cap holding system is improved, by a superior snap
system.
The 5E and 5G series can be supplied with LED’s
integrated in the switch and also as a surface mount
switch. A high variety of aesthetic designed keycaps
is available for the multimec switches both as solid
caps, but also with excellent illumination possibilities.
The standard program will include three different
actuation forces: 2, 3.5, and 6.5N. The multimec
switches are known for their crisp audible tactile
feel although a quiet version is available for sensitive
applications such as audio, conference and military
equipment.
The switch can be used as through-hole or SMD
versions, and are designed to be used in a wide
variety of applications.

1SS/1LS/1IS
The new caps for the Multimec switches
1SS/1LS/1IS are optimised with a “snap-on”
system to ensure the cap to stay on the switch
actuator even under heavy vibrations or similar
scenarios.
- The 1SS cap is solid cap which can be sup-
plied in different colours
- The 1LS cap is a solid cap like 1SS, but with
a small round lens for intensive or smooth il-
lumination
- The 1IS cap is a transparent or frosted white
cap like 1SS, for intensive or smooth illumina-
tion

Foilmec
Foilmec
TM
is optimised for use with foil overlays
and offers a fully illuminated solution based on
up to 4 LEDs placed directly on the PCB.
The illumination can be either SMD or through-
hole and provides a free choice of light source.
Foilmec
TM
is the ideal solution to cost-effective
assembly of highly integrated PCB with keys,
whether SMD or TH.
The basic switch for Foilmec
TM
Multimec 5E is
rugged and reliable with a mechanical life ex-
ceeding 10.000.000 cycles. The switch is sealed
to IP67.
Arguments for MEC switches under foil:
-Long lifetime, 10.000.000 actuations
-If the foil breaks, the switch will still work
-The cap surface is gentle to the foil
-Excellent tactile feedback
-Easy to clean
