Other electrical specifications include maximum initial contact resistance of 10 milliohms, insulation resistance of 1000 megohms minimum at 500 VDC, and dielectric strength of 2000 V rms minimum between terminals and 2500 V rms between terminals and switch frame.
These rugged switches are offered in single, double and triple pole versions, with 2 or 3 position configurations available in numerous ON, OFF maintained and momentary action combinations. The 600 Series models mount into a .480 diameter panel hole and are available with either bright nickel or black hardware. Additional options include grounding lugs and security guards.
Optional actuators include a nickel plated brass large bat style, an insulated black polyamide large flatted style, a short toggle with attractive gold plating finish, and 3 spring loaded locking lever styles that prevent accidental switch actuation.
