Competences
Since its foundation in 1938, mec has been
making state-of-the-art electromechanical
components.
Today we are focusing on continuous
innovation to maintain our position as leader
in the segment of high end PCB mount push
button switches. By always choosing the
best possible solution, whether it is a design
principle, a material or a manufacturing
process we maintain and improve our
sustainable high quality level. With this
approach a wealth of know-how has been
built up over the years for the benefit of new
product development and custom solutions.
Despite the trend of outsourcing it has been
the policy of mec to maintain a high degree
of vertical integration that enables us to react
promptly on specific customer requests.
Only processes that are not considered core
competences have been outsourced.
Research and Development
Equipped with the latest CAD solutions
with 3D facilities and optical simulation
software our experienced R&D engineers are
designing, simulating and evaluating new
products and machinery continuously.
The combination of a strong R&D facility
and the vertical integration enables us to
provide custom designs from conception to
completion.
Automation - Tooling - Moulding Stamping - Graphics Marking Custom Assembly
All switch modules are manufactured on fully
automated production lines with complete inline component tests. All production statistics
are analysed and stored in computers. 98%
of all parts used in the mec switches are
produced in-house.
Ongoing investments ensure that latest
technology is available for the tooling
department. However, at mec we believe that
the most important factors for maintaining a
high tool standard are the outstanding skills
and experience of our toolmakers.
Prompt reaction to customer
requests has always been
important to mec.
The plastic moulding department consists
of numerous moulding machines. Rigorous
process control ensures the highest possible
precision and reproduceable quality that is
essential for making precision components.
All metal parts are manufactured in our metal
stamping department. When making contact
elements, a computer controlled test
station provides a high level of repeatability
and secures that any required corrections can
be made instantly.
Graphics marking is also made in-house to
secure constant quality and durability of both
standard and customized graphics for the
many keycaps and bezels available.
The assembly department offers all kinds of
value-added services such as customized
final assembly made by experienced and
quality conscious personnel.
Logistics and Production Planning
The production planning software is today
fully integrated into the financial and
administrative system.
The system provides the backbone that
allows us to maintain precise deliveries and to
offer excellent customer service.
Quality – Environment - RoHS
We strive to maintain the highest possible
quality standard through our QA system.
With 100% in-line inspection, tight tolerance

on all parts and use of only quality material
we position ourselves to reach the highest
achievable.
To be a part of a sustainable industrialized
world environmental consciousness is crucial.
At mec we have been substituting materials
to more environmental friendly alternatives
and are recycling as much as possible. Legal
authorities are auditing our environmental
management system regularly and confirming
that our goal is being reached.
RoHS conversion has been completed for
all switches. To manage the inventory in
the complete supply chain a separate part
number system has been established. All parts
manufactured today are RoHS compatible.
Sales - Customer Service Distribution
mec have a well established global
distribution network that provides a presence
in all parts of the world where electronic
manufacturing takes place. Through close
contact and continuous product training
offered to our distributors we maintain
a highly qualified and responsive global
distribution network

*A dimension with surface mount version is min. 15.24. Depending on manufacturing technology it may be necessary either to reduce pad dimension, or to increase
spacing.
In all applications the total assembly tolerance must be analysed by the user (board tolerance, front panel, assembly accuracy), to secure enough room for a free switch
movement in the final product. The specifications on this page are to be considered as an aid only. MEC cannot be held responsible for the final assembly.

Usage Guidelines
How to get the best results with mec switches
These guidelines are offered to users of mec switches as an aid to
ensure successful and reliable switch operation.
Temperature
Both Unimec™ and Multimec® switches are produced in standard and
high temperature versions. Please see the technical specifications
for details on operating and storage temperatures and soldering
guidelines to make sure you select the best switch for your application.
When wave soldering is taking place, mec strongly recommend
that the temperature profile is analyzed and compared with the
temperature rating of the switch. In case of doubt always select the
high temperature versions Unimec™ 154XX and Multimec® 3XXHX. It is
also important to monitor the accumulated heat build up from both the
pre-heat zones and the solder zone.
Most standard accessories for both Unimec™ and Multimec® switches
are made from ABS plastic with a maximum operating temperature of
65°C. It is strongly recommended that accessories are mounted after
soldering of the switch. If this is not possible care must be taken not
to overheat the accessories during the soldering process. Actuators
for the 3EXX9, the 1S09 and Varimec™ caps are, however, made
of high temperature materials and will meet the same temperature
specifications as the high temperature switches.
For accessories made from other plastic materials please see Multimec
and Unimec technical specifications.
LEDs have their own temperature specifications. When fitted in a
high temperature switch the LED will determine the max. operating
temperature, i.e. 3FTH923 has an upper temperature limit of 85°C – not
160°C! This also applies to the 4A and 4F switches.
Contact contamination may be recognized by an increase in contact
resistance and possible intermittent operation of the switch, especially
in low power applications. Care must be taken not to submerge the
switch in cleaning agents or spray the switch during cleaning. The
switch must be protected at all times to prevent contamination by flux
or cleaning liquids.
For Unimec™ alternate versions we recommend to leave the actuator
in the released upper position during soldering. This makes the switch
more resistent to overheating.
Soldering and Cleaning Multimec®
Multimec® switches are fully sealed to IP67 specifications to prevent
solder flux and aqueous or solvent based cleaning solutions from
entering the switch and contaminating the contacts. The switches can
be placed on the PC board with other components and wave soldered.
Multimec® offers a high level of sealing, however, with aqueous solvent
solutions care must be taken to avoid the worst case situation with
water jets, complete immersion into a liquid with a temperature below
the board or surface tension reducing additives.
Recommended cleaning methods are demineralized water. Any surface
tensions reducing agents, such as soap, must not be used as they risk
causing a potential leakage of the switch.
Soldering - Through Hole Versions
Hand soldering: Max 350°C for max. 3 sec., this applies for both low
temperature and high temperature versions.
Wave soldering: Heat built up in the switch during pre-heating and
soldering must not exceed the maximum operating temperature of the
switch. If, for some reason, a high pre-heating temperature is required,
mec recommend the high temperature switches. In any case peak
temperature must not exceed 260°C, and soldering time is max. 10
sec.
Mounting and Dismounting
If switches are to be mounted in rows it is essential that the
recommendations regarding spacing are followed. PC board thickness
should be 1.2 to 1.6 mm and terminal hole diameter should be 0.9 mm.
All Unimec™ and Multimec® caps and bezels are easily snapped
onto the switch modules and can be changed at a later time with the
exception of the Unimec™ 16.700 cap. The same applies to the 3E
caps/actuators. Once these caps are installed they are not designed
to be removed. To do so may cause damage to the switch and the PC
board if not done very carefully. If the 16.300 or 16.700 cap must be
removed from a Unimec™ alternate action switch, make sure that the
switch actuator is in the released, upper position before attempting
to remove the cap. This will prevent possible damage to the internal
latching pin.
Care must be taken when inserting the 3FT switch and LED assembly
into the PC board. Do not press direct on the LED. This will force the
LED down into the actuator and risks to cause the switch contacts
to remain in the closed position. To correct the fault, the LED must
be raised slightly and centered in the actuator to assure unrestricted
movement of the actuator. A mounting tool is available for Multimec®
switches.
