Standards & Certifications
Flammability Standard:
UL94V-0 actuator & case
The GW Series illuminated paddles 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.

Ultra-Thin Fully Illuminated Paddles
Programmable Illuminated PB
Specially designed switching mechanism provides crisp
actuation feedback to positively indicate circuit transfer
(patent pending).
Keylocks
Insert molded terminals prevent entry of flux and other
contaminants.
Slides
Rotaries
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.)

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