Miniature toggle switches
Dry circuit - gold over nickel over brass.
RATING: 0.4 Volt-Amps (VA) max. at 20 V max.
ELECTRIC LIFE: 100,000 cycles min. (ST1-1 & ST2-1 only - other models 40,000 cycles min.)
Power circuit - coin silver.
RATING: 6 Amps at 125 VAC, 3 Amps at 250 VAC or 7 Amps at 30 VDC (resistive loads).
EELECTRIC LIFE: 100,000 cycles min. (ST1-1 & ST2-1 only - other models 40,000 cycles min.)
Dry circuit or power circuit - gold over nickel over coin silver.
RATINGS & ELECTRIC LIFE: Same as B & Q above - i.e. - can be used in either dry circuit or power circuit,
however once used in power circuit, switch cannot be re-used in dry circuit. This option satisfies those
customers who have both dry circuit and power circuit requirements, but prefer to inventory only one switch
for both.

Miniature rocker switches
Dry circuit - gold over nickel over brass.
RATING: 0.4 Volt-Amps (VA) max. at 20 V max.
ELECTRIC LIFE: 100,000 cycles min. (ST1-1 & ST2-1 only - other models 40,000 cycles min.)
Power circuit - coin silver.
RATING: 6 Amps at 125 VAC, 3 Amps at 250 VAC or 7 Amps at 30 VDC (resistive loads).
ELECTRIC LIFE: 100,000 cycles min. (ST1-1 & ST2-1 only - other models 40,000 cycles min.)
Dry circuit or power circuit - gold over nickel over coin silver.
RATINGS & ELECTRIC LIFE: Same as B & Q above - i.e. - can be used in either dry circuit or power circuit, however
once used in power circuit, switch cannot be re-used in dry circuit. This option satisfies those customers who have
both dry circuit and power circuit requirements, but prefer to inventory only one switch for both.
