Mechanical and environmental robustness
Shock and vibration ratings are specified per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6. With contacts closed, the device withstands 10 Gn on Y and Z axes and 6 Gn on X axis for 11 ms shocks. Vibration resistance is 4 Gn at 5–300 Hz when closed, 2 Gn when open. This makes it suitable for mounting on machinery or in transport applications where mechanical stress is present. Protective treatment conforms to IEC 60068 and DIN 50016 for resistance to corrosive atmospheres — a plus for humid or mildly aggressive industrial environments.
