The tactile switches of the MICON 5 series are now available in the MICON 5 SAFETY version with a two-channel contact system. With a footprint of only 5.1 x 6.4 mm and a height of 3.85 mm, the switches have the same dimensions as MICON 5, but integrate two isolated NC and NO contacts. The tactile switches thus enable a particularly economical and space-saving design in applications developed in accordance with functional safety standards such as DIN EN IEC 61508 (basic functional safety standard), DIN EN ISO 13849 (safety-related parts of control systems), DIN EN IEC 62061 (safety of control systems), DIN EN IEC 60601 (electrical medical devices), DIN EN ISO 25119 (control systems for agriculture and forestry), DIN EN 50128 (railroad applications) or ISO 26262 (road vehicles).
