Quick Reference Guide
F Series Switches
The F Series switches offer high performance industrial toggles, rockers, and paddles with high current and
high voltage rating in a small case. The F Series encompasses many circuit configurations ranging from
single pole through four poles, in two and three positions with a choice of momentary or maintained circuits.
This toggle series is UL, CSA recognized for 6A at 250 VAC, 6A at 125VAC with silver contacts and 0.4 VA
max. at 20 V AC/DC with optional gold plated contacts, typically used for low energy switching. Electrical
life is rated from 25,000 to 50,000 cycles at full load. Other electrical parameters include contact resistance
of 10 milliohms max., insulation resistance of 1,000 megohms and actuation force of 19.6 N max.
All F Series switches are panel mounted with 6.0 mm threaded bushing conforming to standard panel cut
outs and are constructed of brass with chrome plating. Design engineers are given the option of three toggle
styles: standard toggle, locking lever to avoid unwanted switching and long flat toggle.
