Pushbutton switch Merten MEG3154-0000, 1P, metallic, 250 V AC, 10 A

The Merten MEG3154-0000 pushbutton switch is a single-pole, manually operated switching device with a metallic finish, rated for 250 V AC and a nominal current of 10 A. It is intended for installation in control panels, lighting circuits and small appliances where compact, reliable manual control is required. The device is suitable for both momentary and maintained switching depending on panel wiring and application, offering a straightforward mechanical interface for on/off, start/stop or reset functions.

Advantages

The construction provides a durable metallic actuator and housing that resists everyday wear in residential and light commercial environments. With a 250 V AC voltage rating and 10 A current capacity, the switch covers common low-voltage AC control and lighting applications. Its single-pole contact arrangement simplifies wiring and reduces panel space compared with multi-pole alternatives. The compact form factor supports installation into standard cutouts in control panels and switchboards.

Suitable for

• Control panels and switchboards in residential or small commercial settings
• Lighting circuits for local manual control of fixtures
• Small appliances and machinery requiring a manual on/off or momentary switch
• Reset, start/stop or selector functions in equipment with single-pole control

Key specifications

• Poles: single-pole (1P)
• Rated voltage: 250 V AC
• Nominal current: 10 A
• Actuator finish: metallic
• Mounting: panel/board cutout compatible
• Contact type: manual pushbutton, momentary or maintained depending on wiring

How to use

Install the pushbutton into the appropriate panel or housing cutout following local electrical codes and the panel manufacturer’s instructions. Connect the supply and load conductors to the single-pole terminals, ensuring secure screw or push-in connections and correct polarity where required. Use the pushbutton for manual control functions such as switching lighting circuits, initiating appliance cycles, or providing a reset input to control equipment. Verify the switch operation after wiring and before full commissioning.

Recommendations

Use the switch within its rated electrical limits (250 V AC, 10 A) and protect circuits with appropriate overcurrent devices. For frequent cycling applications consider evaluating mechanical endurance in the intended environment and perform periodic inspections of terminals and actuator for secure mounting and clean contacts.
