Both switches have a contact rating of 12VDC at 50mA, a maximum contact resistance of 100mΩ and an operating temperature range –20 to +70ºC.

With a base material of black, high temperature LCP and a silver-plated Nickel cover, both have stainless steel, silver clad contacts with silver-plated brass terminals.
