Switches
Washable
Electronic components; Switches
Applied to PC board mounted devices indicating compatibility with cleaning processes used after soldering. No degradation of electrical or mechanical parameters occurs. The switch is sealed to keep ...
Wave soldering
Electronic components; Switches
A method of soldering in which a wave of molten solder contacts the components on the PCB as the PC Board with the components is conveyed through the process.
Wiping action
Electronic components; Switches
Sliding of contacts over one another resulting in cleaning of the contacts.
Contact bounce
Electronic components; Switches
The time during switching in which electrical instability (bounce) caused by the rebound of the contacts is observed. Relative mass of the contacts, forces and frequency of supporting members are all ...
Contact rating
Electronic components; Switches
The capacity to switch (connect or interrupt) an electrical load. Load characteristic (resistive, inductive, capacitive, power factor). Contrast with non-switching rating.
Contact block
Electronic components; Switches
A switching element which is added singly or in groups to an operator to make a complete switch. Typically used with industrial controls (APEM A01 and A02 series).
Switching rating
Electronic components; Switches
The capacity to switch (connect or interrupt) an electrical load. Load characteristic (resistive, inductive, capacitive, power factor). Contrast with non-switching rating.
