The electrical rating of the DH series is 2A at 24 or 125V AC and 1A at 250V AC. Sealing is IP65. Electrical life is 50,000 cycles with contact resistance of less than 50mΩ. Dielectric strength is 2000Vrms contact to contact and 2000Vrms contact to LED. Insulation resistance is greater than 100MΩ. Actuation force is 550 ±50gF with actuator travel of 2.5 ±0.3mm. Operating and storage temperature is from -25 to +70°C.

The actuator is stainless steel or black anodised aluminium with polycarbonate LED lens. The threaded body is stainless steel or black anodised aluminium with an inner switch body of polycarbonate.
