MultiMEC 5 series is the new generation of the 3A, 3E, 3F, 4A, and 4F MultiMEC switches. The technical specifications of the 5 series switches are mostly the same as the 3 series switches. The three important advancements are a new cap-retention system, three standard actuation forces, and the switches are only available in high temperature housing. 5 series switches divide into 5E which has an actuator extending out of the switch body and 5G which has an actuator levelled with the switch body. 5G switch can also be illuminated with one or two LEDs. A right-angle version is available for non-illuminated 5 series switches only.
