Switches
Surface mount devices (SMD)
Electronic components; Switches
Components that are compatible with surface mount PC board technology. Holes are not used for component mounting. Component leads are soldered to pads on the surface of the PC board (on the same side ...
Moulded terminal
Electronic components; Switches
A terminal which is filled with resin after being connected to the internal circuit of the switch with a lead to eliminate exposed current-carrying metal parts and thereby to enhance the drip-proof ...
Silicon rubber
Electronic components; Switches
Rubber made from silicone elastomers which keeps its high level of flexibility, resilience and tensile strength over a wide temperature range.
Snap action
Electronic components; Switches
The fast transfer of contacts from one position to another, this action is rather independent of the speed of actuator travel
Storage temperature
Electronic components; Switches
The range of temperature within which the device may be stored. Typically this is a wider range than operating temperature.
Resistive load
Electronic components; Switches
Current and voltage are in steady state on opening or closing the switch.
Splashproof
Electronic components; Switches
Sealed switch will withstand heavy rain or stream of water.
