GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
• 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 : -20°C to +85°C
•Storage temperature : -40°C to +85°C
• 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 (S series only) :
The switches are especially designed for flow soldering at 260°C during 5 seconds owing to high temperature
polymer parts.
• Iron soldering (SF series) : 300°C 5 sec. max.
• Solderability : The switches are tested at 235°C according to IEC 68-2-20 after accelerated aging.
AGENCY APPROVALS
