Technical Terms |
| -General |
|
| - Microswitch |
Switch with a very small contact intarval and a snap-action mechanism. Opening-and-closing mechanism covered by an actuator-equipped case. |
| - Possessional Contacts |
In general, a posssessional contact is used in contrast with semiconductor switches that has switch characteristics.. It functions as a switch by performing contact-opening and contact-closing closeing.. |
| - Contact Form |
Contact forms such slider type, or contact opening form. |
| - Rating Value |
Value which guarantees switch characteristics and performance. |
| -Life |
|
| - Mechanical Life |
Life of a switch when operated at regulated operating frequency without applying load. |
| - Electrical Life |
Life of a switch when operated at regulated operating frequency while applying regulated electrical load. |
| -Electrical Performance |
|
| - Insulation Resistance |
Resistance measured between noncontinuous terminals, between terminals and non-charged metal parts, and between terminals and grounded parts. |
| - Dielectric Strength |
Maximum (limit) value that switch materials can resist without rupture when applying high voltage for 1 minute on a regulated position. |
| - Contact Resistance |
The electric resistance at contact parts. Commonly, it is the resistance value which includes the conductor resistance of all parts such as springs and terminals. |
| -Mechanical Performance |
|
| - Vibration Proof |
Vibration range which a closed contact does not open more than regulated time by external vibration when swtiches are used. |
| - Shock Proof |
1) Shock range which switches get no damage or rupture by external shocks during transporting or installation.
2) Shock range which a closed contact does not open more than regulated time by external shock when switch are used. |
