The electrical specifications shown are determined at a basic temperature of 25°C.
Rotaries
LED circuit is isolated and requires external power source. Polarity marks are on the bottom of the switch.
If the source voltage exceeds the rated voltage, a ballast resistor is required.
The resistor value can be calculated by using the formula in the Supplement section.
Ambient Temperature Range for lamps below: –25°C ~ +50°C.
