ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Max. current/voltage rating with resistive load :

- gold plated brass contacts : 100mA 30VDC
- silver or gold plated silver contacts : 1A 120VAC - 1A 30VDC
Initial contact resistance : 50 m max.
Insulation resistance : 1.000 M min.
Dielectric strength : 1.000 Vrms 50 Hz min.
Electrical life : 60.000 cycles
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
Torque : 0,25 Nm (.18 Ft.lb) applied to nut (threaded bushing)

Total travel : 0,50 mm (.019)
Mechanical strength :
Terminals are strengthened by a bracket or a ground plate ensuring the
rigidity of the switch on the board. Actuator strength is 10N max.
Operating temperature : -20C to +85C
Storage temperature : -40C to +85C
Moisture :
The insulating materials employed and the complete seal permit the
switches to withstand a 56 days moisture test (IEC 68-2-3).
Soldering - thermal shock (plain bushing models only) :
The switches are especially designed for flow soldering at 260C during
5 seconds owing to high temperature polymer parts.
Iron soldering (threaded bushing models) : 300C max., 5 seconds max.
Solderability : The switches are tested at 235C according to IEC 68-2-20
after accelerated aging.
