### 2. Electrical Specifications
These parameters define the safe operating limits for the switch's internal contacts.
* **Contact Rating (Resistive):**
* 5A @ 125V AC
* 3A @ 250V AC
* 3A @ 30V DC
* **Contact Resistance:** 50 milliohms maximum.
* **Insulation Resistance:** 200 megohms minimum @ 500V DC.
* **Dielectric Strength:**
* 1,000V AC minimum between contacts.
* 1,500V AC minimum between contacts and case.
* **Switching Action:** **ON-ON (Maintained)**. This means the switch stays in the "pushed" position until pressed again (Latching).
