Standards & Certifications
Supplement
Accessories
The SS series devices have not been tested for UL recognition and CSA certification.
These switches are designed for use in a low-voltage, low-current circuit.
When used as intended in a low-voltage, low-current circuit, the results do not produce
hazardous energy.

Crisp actuation positively indicates circuit status.
Double molded thermoset base and thermo-
plastic housing prevent loosening of terminals
due to high soldering temperatures.
Award-winning STC mechanism with benefits
unavailable in conventional mechanisms: smoother,
positive detend actuation, increased contact stability,
and unparalleled logic-level reliability. (Additional STC
details in Terms and Acronyms in the Supplement section.)
Insert molded terminals lock out flux, solvents, and other contaminants.
Inch or metric terminal spacing for standard PC board grid (.100” x .100” or 2.0mm x 2.0mm).
