lamp load

Electronic components; Switches

A load characterised by a high inrush current at make which is approximately 10 to 16 times the steady state.

leakage barrier

Electronic components; Switches

A ridge or web molded into a switch housing between terminals or contacts to increase the surface distance between them.

logic level

Electronic components; Switches
