SWITCH SPECIFICATIONS
Electrical Characteristics
Industrial Grade Switch
Switching Current and Life
The load-life values indicate the number of
cycles of operation expected for the voltage,
current and type of load. End of life is defined
using the resistance and breakdown failure
criteria listed below.
5A at 115 Vac, resistive
1A at 6 to 28 Vdc, resistive
2A at 115 Vac, inductive
Cycle of Operation: 360° rotation plus a 360°
return
Test Conditions: 25°C, 68% relative humidity,
atmospheric pressure
Life Expectancy:
With loads above: 25,000 cycles
Without load: 100,000 cycles
Contact Resistance:
End of life: less than 20 mΩ
Insulation Resistance:
(Between mutually insulated parts)
Initially: 50,000 MΩ
