MT Series

The Lorlin MT series offers a compact and high performance solution for engineers requiring sub miniature switching in space limiting designs. Housed in a 9.2mm diameter, this series is engineered for precision and reliability, making it an ideal choice for medical, telecommunications, and industrial instrumentation. With a mounted height of only 6.4mm above the PCB, it facilitates low-profile product architecture without compromising on electrical integrity. The series is built for durability and sensitive signal switching, featuring gold-plated brass contacts as standard to ensure low contact resistance throughout its operating life. These switches provide a positive 45-degree indexing action and are available in single-pole configurations ranging from 2 to 8 positions, including options for a dedicated "OFF" position. This versatility allows designers to implement complex multi-state logic within a minimal footprint. Technical specifications for the MT series include a switch rating of 500mA at 24V AC/DC and an initial contact resistance of less than 50 milliohms. The robust LCP base material supports a wide operating temperature range from -30°C to +65°C, ensuring stable performance in varied environments. For ease of integration, the series offers multiple actuator styles, including short or long spindle options with a screwdriver slot for recessed or internal adjustments. The mechanical design emphasizes ease of assembly with standard PCB terminals and a footprint optimised for 2.54mm pin spacing. With a life expectancy exceeding 2,500 cycles and high insulation resistance, the Lorlin MT series remains a benchmark for sub miniature rotary switching.
