Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Mounting Hole** | 16mm (Common for this series) | | **Contact Configuration** | 2C (DPDT - Double Pole Double Throw) | | **Switch Action** | Latching (Push-on, Push-off) | | **Illumination Source** | High-brightness LED | | **Electrical Rating** | 250V AC / 5A (Typical) | | **Protection Class** | IP40 / IP65 (Depending on sealing used) | | **Insulation Resistance** | > 100MΩ | | **Contact Resistance** | < 50mΩ | --- ### 3. Electronic Components Internal to the Switch The device is more than just a mechanical contact; it contains several electronic sub-assemblies: 1. **The LED Module:** * **Light Emitting Diode:** Provides the red illumination. * **Current-Limiting Resistor:** Integrated internally to allow direct connection to a **24V** power supply without burning out the diode. 2. **Contact Block:** * **Silver Contacts:** Used for high conductivity and to prevent oxidation during high-frequency switching. * **Mechanical Latch:** A heart-shaped cam mechanism that holds the switch in the "down" position until pressed again. 3. **Terminals:** * Designed for **Solder** or **Quick-connect** (N-type), usually gold-plated or silver-plated to ensure low resistance. --- ### 4.
