### 2. Technical Specifications
This switch is designed for industrial and commercial interfaces where durability and moisture resistance are required.
#### Electrical Specifications
* **Current/Voltage Rating:** 5A @ 125V AC; 5A @ 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 for 1 minute.
#### LED Characteristics (The "5F" Green LED)
The LED is a discrete component within the switch housing. Note that it typically requires an external current-limiting resistor if your supply voltage exceeds the LED's forward voltage.
* **Forward Voltage ($V_f$):** ~2.1V typical.
* **Forward Current ($I_f$):** 20mA.
