Physical Specifications


	Angle Between Positions:		The angular distance (in degrees) between positions. For example, for a 4-position switch, the angle of throw is 90 degrees, for a 100-position switch, the angle of throw is 3.6 degrees.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Mechanical Life:		The maximum life expectancy of the switch. Often, electrical life expectancy is less than mechanical life, please consult manufacturer.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

Features



	Your choices are...
	Optional Coded Outputs		Switch can be configured to provide coded output, such as BCD or Octal.
	Momentary On		Feature in which the switch maintains its position for only as long as it is positively loaded or actuated; returns to unloaded position when it is let go (for example, an ignition switch).
	Wiping Contacts		Self-cleaning and usually low resistance. Wiping action creates mechanical wear.
	CE Conformity Marks		The CE-marking is a regulatory community sign that has to be obligatorily affixed on industrial products conforming to European Union standards. However, the CE-mark is not yet a quality mark.
	CSA Mark (US, C and US, NRTL/C)		The CSA Mark may appear alone or with indicators. If it appears alone, it means that the product is certified for the Canadian market, to the applicable Canadian standards. If this Mark appears with the indicator "C and US" or "NRTL/C" it means that the product is certified for both the U.S. and Canadian markets, to the applicable U.S. and Canadian standards.
	UL Listing Mark		The UL Listing Mark denotes that samples of a product meet the safety requirements of Underwriters Laboratories (UL). These requirements are mostly based on UL's published Standards for Safety.
	Dustproof		Resistant to dust.
	Weather Resistant / Waterproof		Hermetically sealed against moisture.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Environment


	Operating Temperature:		The temperature range over which the device must operate.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

Electrical Specifications


	Maximum Current Rating:		The maximum nominal or nameplate current capacity of a device.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

	Maximum AC Voltage Rating:		The maximum AC voltage capacity of a device.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

	Maximum DC Voltage Rating:		The maximum DC voltage capacity of a device.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

Pole Specifications


	*Number of Poles (Single Deck):*		The number of separate circuits that can be activated through a switch at any given time.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

	*Number of Decks (Multi-Deck):*		The maximum number of decks that can be attached to a common actuating shaft.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

	*Number of Poles per Deck (Multi-Deck):*		The number of separate circuits that can be activated through a switch at any given time per deck.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

Contact Style


	Contact Style
	Your choices are...
	Shorting		Make Before Break, this is useful in preventing arcing during position change since the next position is connected before the previous position is disconnected.
	Non-Shorting		Break Before Make, the switch opens the preceding circuit before closing the next.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Actuator Features


	Actuator Features
	Your choices are...
	Integral Potentiometer		Switch includes a potentiometer as part of the assembly.
	Actuator Detents		Mechanical mechanisms that hold a switch in a given position after actuating force removed.
	Tease Proof		Prevents switch mechanism from remaining between positions after removal of force.
	Guarded Positions		A switch position that requires a special action, such as pushing or pulling the shaft, in order to change position.
	Keylocking Toggle		This mechanism uses an open slot instead of a traditional toggle, allowing for the straight insertion of a key that can be toggled up (ON) or down (OFF). Keylocking toggles are used to prevent unauthorized personnel from accidentally shutting off the power or tampering with the switching of the branch circuit load.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
