Scope

This generic specification relates to electromechanical switches intended for use in electrical and electronic appliances. Switches covered by this specification: a) are devices which open@ close@ or change the connection of a circuit by the mechanical motion of conducting parts (contacts); b) have a maximum rated voltage of 480 V; c) have a maximum rated current of 63 A. This generic specification does not include keyboards and keypads which are intended for use in information-handling systems. Electromechanical key switches may be included under the scope of this generic specification. Switch families shall be described in any detail specifications that will reference this generic specification.
