Previous versions of the GP series were UL-rated to 15A.

The GP series is housed in a phenolic case measuring approximately 48 x 23 x 18mm.

Cherry offers 13 different standard actuator styles, including nickel-plated steel levers, rollers and buttons.

Brass screw terminals and copper alloy solder terminals are standard.

Temperature rating is -20 to +85C.

Maximum initial contact resistance is 15mohm, and minimum insulation resistance at 500V DC is 100Mohm.

Cherry's new GP series switches are available from stock.
