Indicators
Wave Soldering recommended. See Profile A in Supplement section.
Manual Soldering: See Profile A in Supplement section.
Automated alcohol based cleaning recommended, 5 minutes maximum. Do not use high-purity
alcohol (50% alcohol or more) or organic solvent. High alcohol solution can damage clear plastic.
See Cleaning specifications in Supplement section.
Standards & Certifications
Supplement
Accessories
The B Series illuminated toggles have not been tested for UL recognition or CSA certification.
These switches are designed for use in a low-voltage, low-current, logic-level circuit.
When used as intended in a logic-level circuit, the results do not produce hazardous energy.

Distinctive
Characteristics
LED provides maximum illumination to bushing and actuator,
indicating actuator status in highly visible green, red, or
amber for single color or red/green for bicolor.
(Patent pending.)
Totally sealed body construction prevents contact
contamination and allows time- and money-saving
automated soldering and cleaning. Molded-in,
epoxy sealed terminals lock out flux and other
contaminants.
Award-winning STC contact mechanism with
benefits unavailable in conventional mechanisms:
smoother, positive detent actuation, increased
contact stability, and unparalleled logic-level
reliability. (Additional STC details in Terms &
Acronyms; see Supplement section.)
.100” x .100” (2.54mm x 2.54mm) terminal
spacing conforms to standard PC board grid
spacing.

LED COLORS & SPECIFICATIONS
LEDs are an integral part
of the switch and not
available separately. The
electrical specifications
shown are determined at
a basic temperature of
25°C. If the source volt-
age exceeds the rated
voltage, a ballast resistor
is required.
The resistor value can be
calculated by using the
formula in the Supplement
section.
