Pushbutton switch Merten MEG3150-0000 1P metallic, 250 V AC, 10 A

The Merten MEG3150-0000 pushbutton switch is a single-pole manual actuator with a metallic appearance designed for control and switching tasks in electrical installations. Rated for alternating current up to 250 V and a nominal switching current of 10 A, this compact pushbutton provides a straightforward interface for turning circuits on and off. Its metal finish offers a durable surface that integrates into control panels, switchboards and exposed installation points where a robust tactile control is required.

Advantages

The pushbutton combines a single-pole switching principle with a compact metal housing that resists everyday wear. Its 250 V AC rating and 10 A nominal current make it suitable for a range of low-voltage control circuits. The device is compact, provides a clear tactile response when actuated, and is intended for easy mounting in standard housings or panel cutouts. The metallic finish improves mechanical durability and matches industrial or modern interior designs.

Suitable for

• Control panels and switchboards
• Lighting circuits and manual lighting control
• Small machinery and equipment requiring simple on/off control
• Retrofit or replacement in standard single-pole installations

Key specifications

• Contact arrangement: single-pole (1P)
• Rated voltage: AC up to 250 V
• Nominal current: 10 A
• Actuator style: pushbutton (momentary or latching depends on wiring/variant)
• Finish: metallic
• Typical mounting: panel or modular housing compatible with standard cutouts

How to use

Install the pushbutton in a compatible panel or mounting frame following local electrical codes and safety standards. Connect the live conductor to the input terminal and the load conductor to the output terminal of the single-pole contact. Confirm that the circuit voltage does not exceed 250 V AC and that the expected load current stays within the 10 A nominal rating. After wiring, secure the device and test the switching action to ensure proper contact closure and release.

Recommendations

Use the pushbutton in environments where the voltage and current demands match the specified ratings. For frequent switching or inductive loads, consider verifying contact wear periodically and, if necessary, choose protective measures such as contactors or appropriate overload protection. Always disconnect power before installation or maintenance and follow applicable electrical safety practices.
