- Definition of Operating Characteristics
Classification	Term	Abbreviation	Unit	Definition
Force	Operating Force	OF	cN	Amount of force applied to switch actuator to cause snap action contact from Free Position to Operating Position.
	Release Force	RF	cN	Amount of force applied to switch actuator in order to move from Total Travel Position to Release Position.
	Total Travel Force	TTF	cN	Amount of force applied to actuator in order to move from Operating Position to Total Travel Position.
Movement	Pre-Travel	PT	mm, angle	Distance or angle which actuator travels from Free Position to Operating Position.
	Over-Travel	OT	mm, angle	Distance or angle which actuator travels from Operating Position to Total Travel Position.
	Movement-Differential	MD	mm, angle	Distance or angle which actuator travels from Operating Position to Release Position.
	Total Travel	TT	mm, angle	Distance or angle from actuator Free Positon to Total Travel Position.
Position	Free Position	FP	mm, angle	Position of actuator when no external force is applied.
	Operating Position	OP	mm, angle	Position of actuator at where contacts snap from Free Position to Operating Position.
	Release Position	RP	mm, angle	Position of actuator at where contacts snaps back from Operating Position to Free Position.
	Total Travel Positioin	TTP	mm, angle	Position at where actuator reaches Over-Travel limit.
