Frequently Asked Questions
How much current and voltage can the switch handle?
The fetched context lists a 5 A rating at 28 V dc, which suits low-voltage control circuits when the application stays within that electrical limit.
Which actuator and mounting approach should the layout expect?
This part is described as a PCB slide switch with a top actuator, so board layout and enclosure access should allow 1 top-operated control point.
How does the switching function support equipment controls?
The DPDT On-Off-On function gives 2 switched poles and 3 maintained positions, useful for selecting modes or routing paired low-voltage signals in instruments.
