Quick Reference Guide Green Pushbutton and Toggle Series Switches The Green Series switch offering includes both pushbutton and toggle switches all rated to 6A/3A 125/250VAC and 4A 28VDC. The life expectancy depending on function (momentary or push on push off) and number of poles from 40,000 up to 80,000 cycles at full load this is accomplished due to silver slugs in the contact area. In addition to the silver slugs all contact surfaces are gold flashed this inhibits oxidation and also offers a very low initial contact resistance. The design also includes overmolded terminals which eliminate any voids which is possible with epoxy sealed terminals. The Green Series Toggle offer wide range of toggle bat options including a splash proof switch the MTE series and locking toggle MTL series. In the pushbuttons we offer our standard button style MPA plus a splash proof design MPE and our very robust actuator the MPG Mustang series.
