Camden CM-1000/30 SPST Momentary Contact Switch
Overview
The CM-1000/30 is a surface-mount SPST (single-pole single-throw) momentary contact switch rated 6 amperes at 125 VAC or 3 amperes at 30 VDC. Built from 1/4-inch die-cast aluminum, it accepts standard mortise cylinders (1" to 1 1/4") and is designed for door strike activation, electromagnetic lock control, and access control switching in both indoor and outdoor environments. The momentary contact action makes it ideal for timed functions, shunting, and equipment bypass scenarios where a brief activation pulse is required rather than sustained switching.
Compatibility
The CM-1000/30 integrates into access control and door automation systems operating at 30 VDC nominal voltage or 125 VAC circuits. Compatible with electric strikes, electromagnetic locks, overhead door motors, and CCTV/access control equipment activation circuits. Surface-mount installation allows placement on walls, pipes, or pedestals in security integrator deployments where key-actuated access control is required. No special network integration is needed — this is a hardwired electromechanical switch suitable for standalone or integrated panel-controlled applications.
Installation Notes
Vandal-resistant construction includes tamper-proof screws with a provided driver. The cylinder sits flush to the brushed aluminum faceplate with integrated locators preventing cylinder rotation — no set screws required. Heavy-duty rubber gasket seals the weather-resistant surface-mount box for outdoor durability. Color-coded 18 AWG soldered leads feature heat-shrink protective sleeves; leads exit the box ready for direct connection to strike or lock control circuits. One or two switches may be installed in the same housing, supporting left and/or right operation depending on your installation layout.
