Foremost Celebrates 20 years of MEC Switch Sales

Among the most popular MEC switch solutions available from Foremost are the versatile 3F multimec® push-button switches which are available illuminated and non-illuminated, are waterproof sealed to IP67 and may be mounted using surface mount processes or through-hole soldered. The 3F switch unit has 1 mm actuator travel and a 3N actuation force that gives a positive, audible tactile feel throughout its 10 million cycle mechanical life.

The 3F multimec® push-button switches are available with a very wide range of cap styles offering designers thousands of options for panel design and layout. Foremost also offer a unique switch cap printing service and special LED colour options including the recently introduced white LED illumination.

Alan Cook, Managing Director of Foremost Electronics comments, “Over the last twenty years we have established a great relationship with MEC. Our depth of product knowledge enables us to offer great service to our customers, we have very extensive stock holding and the most competitive prices available. We also have the most cap options in stock in the UK and offer tailor made solutions for our customers. Over the last twenty years we must have sold millions of MEC switches.”

Mr Ivan Gam-Hansen, Managing Director of MEC, said of Foremost, “Foremost has been our most successful distributor of MEC switches. Their commitment and dedication to promoting the MEC range over the last 20 years has been outstanding and unsurpassable”.
