Question:
Is it possible to use a product in DC that has only AC specification in the catalog?
Answer:
In general, basic switches can be used in DC, but the electrical durability varies from product to product.Some models have reference evaluation data of switching capability. Please inquire individually.
Explanation:
Products without stipulated specifications in DC can be used in DC, but electrical durability for them must be checked individually.
There is a limit for high-voltage DC switching to cut off the arc, which can be estimated using a theoretical value as a reference. Some models have reference evaluation data of switching capability. Please inquire individually.
