### 2. Electrical Specifications
The internal electronics are designed for power switching and visual feedback.
* **Switching Mechanism:**
* **Contact Type:** Silver (standard for power switching).
* **Function:** Momentary (On-Mom). The circuit is only closed while the button is being pressed.
* **Rating:** 5 Amps at 125V AC or 250V AC; 3 Amps at 30V DC.
* **Illumination (LED):**
* **Voltage/Current:** Typically requires a forward voltage ($V_f$) of ~2.0V for Red.
* **Note:** This is a discrete LED; if your supply is higher (e.g., 12V or 24V), you must use an external current-limiting resistor.
* **Insulation Resistance:** 200 Megohms minimum at 500V DC.
* **Dielectric Strength:** 1,000V AC minimum between contacts; 1,500V AC minimum between contacts and case.

### 3. Mechanical & Environmental Features
The "CW" designation indicates specific electronic protection against the environment.
* **Ingress Protection:** **IP65** rated (Dust-tight and protected against water jets). This is achieved via an internal O-ring and a silicone rubber seal.
* **Terminals:** Solder lug terminals (can also be used with Quick Connect if specified).
* **Actuation Force:** 1.5 Newtons (Single Pole) to 3.0 Newtons (Double Pole).
