- Contact Resistance (CR):Resistance, measured in milliohms, of an electrical circuit caused by the contacts.
- Contact Wipe:Sliding of one contact on another during actuation of switch.
- Contacts:Switch element, which directly provide make-break operation (circuit interruption).
- Creepage:The unwanted flow of electrical current from one conductive part to another.
- CSA (Canadian Standards Agency):A testing and safety certification agency.
- Current-Carrying Capacity:Specified maximum current which can flow through the switch contacts. Determined by contacts size, shape, material and the force with which they are pressed together.
- Current Rating:The nominal or name plate current capacity of a device. The maximum current rating, listed by UL, is the current that can be carried continuously without causing the temperature of the switch terminals to rise more than 30°C above the ambient temperature.
- Cycle:The complete program of operations required to return switch to the same condition that existed at the beginning of the cycle.
- Cyclic:A grip used to control the left/right or forward/ backward movement of an aircraft.
