10、 P-5.8 Working Group on Slide, Rocker and Toggle Switches.) INTRODUCTION This EIA Standard was formulated for the purpose of: (a) (b) Eliminating misunderstandings or confusion between manufactureres and .buyer with Promoting interchangeability of toggle switches, and respect to product performance
11、values. This Standard applies to toggle switches intended to be installed in control circuits or au- xiliary circuits of electronic equipment or other equipment employing simiIar techniques. This Standard must be used in conjunction with a detail specification which defines specific values for the p
12、erformance of the Standard and may add, delete or modify the requirements of the Standard. The buyer may utilize the Detail specifications issued by EIA, or, if necessary, prepare his own detail specification which references this Standard. The EIA Detail Specifications assign a unique part number t
13、o each particular switch configuration covered by the Detail Specification. This part number is adequate to use for procurement of a standard switch. Within the context of this EIA Standard, a standard switch is considered to be a switch which is described by an EIA Detail Specification, and a non-s
14、tandard switch is considered to be a switch which is not described by an IA Detail Specification. When a description of a non-standard switch is required, the manufacturer or buyer should prepare a detail specification which fully describes the non-standard switch. If the required non-standard switc
15、h differs from the switch types described by EIA Detail Specifications, a complete detail specification should be prepared, If the required non-standard switch is similar to the switch types described by the EIA Detail Specification, a detail specification may be prepared by referencing the part num
16、ber of the standard switch and specifying the difference required from the standard switch. EIA 480 81 m 323460 00709b1 T m RS-480 Page 2 1.0 2.0 SCOPE These recommendations relate to toggle switches for use in equipment for electrical and electronic devices, including switches necessary to connect
17、the supply mains. These switches are not intended to be used in electrical distribution systems.

Break Before Make: The closed contacts open before the open contacts close when the actuator is moved from one position to another. Panel Sealed: When properly mounted, the switch prevents the entrance of liquids through the
24、panel mounting hole. Environmentally Sealed: The switch enclosure is sealed to prevent the entrance of the ambient environ- ment into the switching mechanism. Hermetically Sealed: The switch enclosure is sealed to be gas tight by fusion of glass or ceramic to metal, or metal to metal. Throw: Any tog
25、gle position where a moving contact(s) makes contact with a stationary contact(s). A single-throw switch makes contact in only one toggle position. A double-throw switch makes contact in two toggle positions. Clearance: Clearance denotes the shortest distance measured in air between electrically con
26、ductive materials. Creepaqe Distance: Creepage distance denotes the shortest distance over the surface of insulation between electrically conductive materials.

Rated Voltaqe and Rated Current: The voltage and current which are marked on the switch shall be that at stand-

Type: Switches of one type comprise components having similar design features (ex- clusive of any mounting accessories, provided they have no significant effect on the test results) and falling within
29、 the manufacturers usual range of ratings for sueh a design. Type Tests: Type tests are all the tests to be carried out on a number of specimens, with the object of determining whether this manufacturer can be considered to be able to produce components meeting the detail specif ication. Type Approv
30、all: Type approval is a certification by the switch manufacturer that he is able to produce in reasonable quantities components meeting the. detail cpecif ication. Acceptance Tests1: Acceptance tests are those tests carried out on all specimens or on a repre- sentative sample of the components of an
31、y consignment to ensure that their properties are within the limits of the specification. Factory Tests1: Factory tests are those tests carried out by the manufacturer to verify that his product meets the detail specification.
