Schurter IP67 Capacitive Momentary Switch, NO, RGB, OptoMOS Relay, 5 - 28V DC, Stainless Steel 3-101-429

The Schurter 3-101-429 is a high-quality capacitive momentary switch designed for advanced industrial and commercial control panels. This switch operates with a touch-sensitive ceramic or stainless steel surface, enabling activation without any mechanical movement, which results in a long-lasting wear-free design. It employs momentary Normally Open (NO) contacts utilizing OptoMOS relay output, providing both reliability and galvanic isolation from sensitive control circuitry.

This model is distinguished by its durable stainless steel housing, capable of withstanding harsh conditions with an ingress protection rating of IP67, making it suitable for outdoor or demanding environments. The switch supports a wide operating voltage range from 5 V to 28 V DC and can output up to 100 mA, catering to a variety of industrial applications.

RGB multicolor LED illumination is featured, allowing for customized status feedback and improved visual indication in complex systems. The illuminated actuator area, available in a grey finish, not only enhances aesthetics but makes the switch easy to locate and operate in dim or variable lighting conditions.

Additional features include constant LED intensity for uniform appearance, floating switch connections, and protection against unintended switching and overvoltage. The wear-resistant touch surface, available as either scratch-resistant ceramics or ring-illuminated stainless steel, further extends product life. Vandal resistance and the option for laser marking support installation in public or high-traffic areas.

The Schurter 3-101-429 is commonly leveraged in control cabinets, machinery interfaces, kiosk systems, food processing facilities, building automation, medical devices, and transport or access control systems. The unit meets RoHS, IEC/UL 60950, and REACH standards, ensuring compliance with global safety and environmental regulations.

With its advanced touch detection, rugged construction, broad operating envelope, and attractive illuminated design, this Schurter capacitive switch is an ideal solution for demanding switching applications where durability, reliability, and modern aesthetics are paramount.
