INACCURATE INFORMATION ON VARIOUS SWITCHES
Let's start with some explanations:
gf: Gram-force, also called centinewton or centinewon. It can also be written as cN.
,-,±: When a value is followed by a plus or minus sign, or a plus sign, or a minus sign, it means that the following errors are allowed under the design value.
Total stroke: The displacement length of the switch's (cross column) to complete the entire movement process.
Trigger stroke: The displacement length of the switches to complete the trigger.
Initial pressure: refers to the pressure applied when the switch is pressed and the switches is about to move.
Trigger pressure/operating force: refers to the pressure applied when the switch is pressed to the trigger.
Paragraph pressure: refers to the pressure applied when the switch is pressed to the paragraph point
