CN-0212-A Change Notice G Toggle, GW Paddle Series Change of G Toggles & GW Paddles LED Specifications Type of Change: Engineering Product Part Number Appearance The G Series Illuminated Toggles and the GW Series Illuminated Paddles will have changes to the Red LEDs. These changes will affect the illumination of all models, both standard and custom. Differences in the LED specification values are outlined in the table below. G Toggle GW Paddle LED COLORS & SPECIFICATIONS The electrical specifications shown are determined at a basic temperature of 25°C. Lamp circuit is independent of switch operation. Single Color (5) Before Change After Change C C Red Red (6) Colors Maximum Forward Current I FM 25mA 30mA Typical Forward Current IF 20mA 20mA Forward Voltage VF 2.0V 2.0V Maximum Reverse Voltage VRM 4V 5V Current Reduction Rate Above 25°C ∆I F 0.33mA/°C 0 – No current Reduction Rate within Ambient Temperature Range –25° ~ +55°C –25° ~ +55°C Ambient Temperature Range R + Notes • LEDs are an integral part of the switch and are not available separately. E • The LED circuit is isolated and requires an external power source. • If the source voltage exceeds the rated voltage, a ballast resistor is required. – The resistor value can be calculated by using the formula shown here. • The changes to G and GW LEDs do not affect any external dimensions of the switches. • Contact the factory if further details are needed.
