Robust metal switch with M12 connection and RGB status indication

With the new MSM II switch featuring an 8-pin M12 connector, SCHURTER offers a robust and installation-friendly solution for industrial applications. The standardised M12 connection system enables fast and secure installation without complex wiring and minimizes wiring errors thanks to fixed pin assignment.

Robust metal switch with M12 connection and RGB status indication

The durable design is engineered for continuous industrial use, while the integrated RGB ring illumination provides clear and flexible status indication - ideal for automation, machinery and plant engineering as well as commercial applications.

The standardised M12 connector ensures fast, secure, and error-free installation - without any complicated wiring. Thanks to the fixed pin assignment, wiring errors are effectively avoided, which not only simplifies installation but also speeds it up considerably.

The mechanical design is made for permanent industrial use - shockproof, vibration-resistant, and resistant to tough environments. This means the switch will keep working reliably for years, even in extreme conditions.

The RGB illumination provides clear status indication or individual signals. Example: green = active; red = off; flashing orange = error condition. This makes the switch ideal for machine controls, control systems, or user interfaces.

The new SCHURTER MSM II M12 switch is suitable for applications where installations must be made quickly, easily, and safely. It is used in industrial automation, machine and plant engineering, as well as in public and commercial areas where clear signalling and high reliability are required.
