Switch function
The switch function describes the electrical behavior of a switch or Switch Probe during actuation. It defines the switching state as a function of mechanical parameters such as stroke or actuation force and determines when a contact is opened or closed.
FAQ
The switch travel describes the movement up to the switching point, while the switch function defines the electrical behavior along this path.
Typical functions include normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), or changeover contacts, depending on the desired switching behavior.
Primarily the mechanical travel, the actuation force, and the internal design of the switch.
