General Technical Information
The catalog provides an overview of Marquardt's standard switches, with technical data and specifications. Customized variants and special products are available on request. Marquardt's products are known for their high quality and long life, certified under ISO TS 16949: 2002.
Code of Conduct and Approvals
Marquardt adheres to a code of conduct emphasizing ethical and legal behavior. Their switches are tested according to EN 61058-1 or IEC 61058-1 standards and carry various approval marks for Europe, the USA, and Canada.
RoHS and REACH Compliance
Marquardt complies with the RoHS directive, ensuring no hazardous substances are used in their products. They also adhere to REACH regulations for chemical safety.
Household Appliances Standard IEC/EN 60335
Some switches conform to this standard, identified by a "G" in specifications, ensuring compliance with glow-wire-flammability and ignition-temperature requirements.
Electrical Ratings and Life Endurance
Marquardt specifies electrical ratings for AC and DC voltages, with recommendations for testing DC loads. The life endurance of switches is defined by mechanical and electrical cycles.
Gold-Plated Contacts and Switching Frequency
Gold-plated contacts are recommended for low-power applications. Most switches are rated for 50,000 cycles, with some approved for 10,000 cycles.
Contact Distance and Proof Tracking
Many switches have a contact distance suitable for full disconnection from the mains. Proof tracking values indicate the voltage at which the test is passed.
Inrush Current
Marquardt provides values for capacitive inrush currents, crucial for devices with power supply units.
Ambient Temperature: The permissible ambient temperature for switches is indicated by a designation such as T 85, meaning the switch can be used up to 85°C according to European safety standards. For UL-approved switches, the ambient temperature is determined by the RTI of the materials used, generally 65°C for polyamides. Higher temperature switches are available on request.
Ambient Conditions: Avoid using vapors, glue, silicon, aggressive liquids, salts, and strong UV light as they can negatively affect the switch's contact resistance and surface integrity.
Isolation Characteristics: Devices must have adequate isolation to protect against electric shocks. Most switches are constructed for appliances with protection class II, meaning they can be used without additional safety measures. Testing voltage is defined in IEC 60664.
Storage Conditions: Products should be stored in original packaging at temperatures between 5 and 45°C and 30 to 75% relative humidity. Solder terminals have specific storage conditions, and exceeding a storage time of 12 months may impair product properties.
Soldering Conditions: For lead-free hand soldering, use electronically controlled soldering stations with a power consumption of 50-80 VA, solder temperature of 350°C ±10°C, and soldering time of 2 to 3 seconds. For wave soldering, follow DIN IEC 61760 guidelines.
IP Type of Protection: The IP protection types refer to the actuating side of the switch. Customers must ensure proper sealing and test for leaks.
EMC: Marquardt switches meet interference emission requirements according to EN 61058-1 when used as specified.
Appliance Safety Law: Use switches tested and approved according to EN 61058-1 or VDE 0630 for compliance with German appliance safety law.
CE Mark: The CE mark indicates compliance with EU regulations but is not a quality seal. It is required for the smallest packing unit, not individual components.
Terminal Symbols: Various terminal types are available, including quick-connect, solder, PCB, and screw terminals.
Contact Resistance: The contact resistance is measured at switch terminals with closed contacts, typically below 100 mΩ for silver-based and below 50 mΩ for gold-based contacts.
Switching Functions: Various switching functions are available, including ON/OFF, normally open/closed, changeover, and illuminated switches.
Switching Reliability: Optimum reliability is achieved by fully exploiting pretravel and overtravel. High contact force switches are recommended.
Bounce Time: Typically below 5 ms at actuation speeds of approximately 80 mm/s.
Switching Time/Travel: The time or distance required for the switching system to transition from open to closed contacts.
Operating Force-Travel Diagram: Describes the forces and travels involved in switch operation, including pretravel, overtravel, and total travel.
Order Numbers: Standard products have 8-digit order numbers, and accessories have 9-digit numbers.
Customized Solutions: Marquardt offers customer-specific solutions, including cable assembly and modified functions.
Stock Versions/Minimum Order Quantities: Many standard switches are available immediately, with minimum order quantities required for non-stock products.
Modifications/Catalog Data: Technical modifications and improvements may occur, and specifications are available on request.
Application Note/Liability: Users must verify product suitability for their applications. Liability is governed by Marquardt's Terms of Delivery and Payment.
