Product catalog summary
General Specifications
The Series G Process Sealed Ultra-Miniature Toggles are designed for low-voltage, low-current logic-level circuits. They have an electrical capacity of 0.4VA maximum at 28V AC/DC. The contact resistance is 80 milliohms maximum, and insulation resistance is 500 megohms minimum at 500V DC. The dielectric strength is 500V AC for at least one minute. Mechanical and electrical life is rated at 100,000 operations for On-None-On and On-Off-On circuits, and 50,000 for others. The nominal operating force is 0.93N for momentary and 1.20N for maintained, with an angle of throw of 28°.
Materials & Finishes
The actuator, case, and base are made of glass fiber reinforced polyamide. Sealing rings are made of nitrile butadiene rubber, while movable and stationary contacts are phosphor bronze with gold plating. Terminals are also phosphor bronze with gold plating, and the support bracket is phosphor bronze with tin plating.
Environmental Data
The operating temperature range is from -25°C to +85°C. The switches can withstand 90-95% humidity for 96 hours at 40°C. They are tested for vibration at 10-55Hz with a peak-to-peak amplitude of 1.5mm and for shock at 50G acceleration.
PCB Processing
Wave soldering is recommended, and manual soldering specifications are available in the supplement section. Automated cleaning is supported.
Standards & Certifications
These toggles are not tested for UL or CSA certifications but are designed for safe use in logic-level circuits.
Distinctive Characteristics
The ultra-miniature size allows for high-density mounting, and the light weight of 0.25 grams makes them suitable for handheld devices. The sealed body construction prevents contamination, and the STC contact mechanism offers smooth actuation and increased reliability. Terminal spacing conforms to standard PC board grid spacing.
Poles & Circuits
Available in SPDT and DPDT configurations with various circuit options such as ON-NONE-ON, ON-OFF-ON, and momentary options.
Typical Ordering Example
The document provides a detailed example of ordering, including actuator types and terminal configurations.
