Overview

The **Mersen AOS-Q Add-On-Switch** is a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) electrical control switch designed for precision switching in industrial control panels. Rated at **4 amperes resistive** and **1 ampere inductive** at a maximum of **250V AC**, this switch is optimized for low-current applications including signal routing, power control, and safety interlocks. The AOS-Q features **quick-connect terminals** for fast, secure installations, eliminating the need for soldering or crimping and reducing downtime during maintenance or upgrades. Its compact design and durable construction make it ideal for space-constrained environments such as PLC enclosures, motor control centers, and distributed control systems (DCS). Unlike screw-terminal alternatives (AOS-S), the AOS-Q’s push-on connectors streamline wiring, enabling engineers to complete installations up to 30% faster while minimizing connection errors. The switch’s SPDT configuration provides flexible switching options, supporting applications from HVAC damper control to renewable energy monitoring systems. With a proven track record in automation, robotics, and test equipment, the AOS-Q delivers reliable performance where precision and speed are critical. Backed by Mersen’s global reputation for industrial electrical solutions, this switch meets stringent safety and performance standards for use in manufacturing, energy, and infrastructure sectors.
