Terminology for switching parameters of electrical appliances for electronic appliances

Provided by HONYONE technology department

There are various definitions of electronic and electrical appliance switches in the electronic industry. Based on the practical experience in recent years, HONYONE makes a summary of common electronic switch grade parameters for customers, hoping to be helpful for customers\’ type ion and understanding of our company\’s finished drawings.

1.額定

額定是指一般以特定的條件為前提，表示開關特性、性能保證基準的數值。例如，額定電壓、額定電流等。
Rated values
Values indicating the characteristics and performance guarantee standards of the switches.
The rated current and rated voltage, for instance, assume specific conditions.

2.電氣壽命
電氣壽命是指在觸點上連接額定負載，根據規定的條件進行通斷時的壽命。
Electrical life
The service life when the rated load is connected to the contact and switching operations are performed.

3.機械壽命
機械壽命是指不在觸點上通電，按照規定的操作頻率使其動作時的壽命。
Mechanical life
The service life when operated at a preset operating frequency without passing electricity through the contacts.

4.耐電壓
耐電壓是指在規定的測量部位施加1分鐘的高電壓，不會發生絕緣壞的極限值。
Dielectric strength
Threshold limit value that a high voltage can be applied to a predetermined measuring location for one minute without causing damage to the insulation.

5.絕緣電阻
絕緣電阻是指與耐電壓相同的測量部位的電阻值。
Insulation resistance
This is the resistance value at the same place the dielectric strength is measured.

6.接觸電阻
接觸電阻是指觸點接觸部分的電氣電阻，一般表示包含彈簧和端子部分的導體電阻在內的電阻值。
Contact resistance
This indicates the electrical resistance at the contact part.
Generally, this resistance includes the conductor resistance of the spring and terminal portions.

7.耐振性（防震等級）
耐振性是指在使用開關的過程中，因受到振動，閉路的觸點在超過規定時間不開離范圍內的振動。
Vibration resistance
Vibration range where a closed contact does not open for longer than a specified time due to vibrations during use of the snap-action switches

8.耐沖擊性
耐沖擊性是指在使用開關的過程中因受到沖擊，閉路的觸點在超過規定時間不進行開離的最大沖擊值。
Shock resistance
Max. shock value where a closed contact does not open for longer than a specified time due to shocks during use of the switches.

9.允許通斷頻率
約許通斷頻率是指滿足機械壽命(或者電氣壽命)的最大操作頻率。
Allowable switching frequency
This is the maximum switching frequency required to reach the end of mechanical life (or electrical life).

10.溫度上升（溫升）
溫度上升是指在觸點上接通額定電流時，端子部發熱的溫度上升值的最大值。
Temperature rise value
This is the maximum temperature rise value that heats the terminal portion when the rated current is flowing through the contacts.

11.操作度強度（操作力度）
操作強度是指在按鍵上朝操作方向施加規定時間的靜載重時，不會導致開關功能損壞的最大載重。
Actuator strength
When applying a static load for a certain period on the actuator in the operation direction, this is the maximum load it can withstand before the switch loses functionality.

12.端子強度
端子強度是指在端子上施加規定時間的靜載重時（如無規定則朝所有方向），不會導致功能損壞（端子變形除外）的最大載重。
Terminal strength
When applying a static load for a certain period (in all directions if not stipulated) on a terminal, this is the maximum load it can withstand before the terminal loses functionality (except when the terminal is deformed).
