This biased single-pole switch is used in appliances (e.g. gas cookers between the knob and the gas tap), where small currents at 250V AC and high ambient temperatures are frequently operated (i.e. spark ignition). Usually supplied connected in a chain of flexible non-rewirable cables. A variable number of switches can be interconnected in parallel with one or both wires in common, in series, etc. Directly operated (or indirectly, via a custom-designed spring). Wiring, and if requested, the spring, are custom designed. The switch itself is standard and marked with various international conformity marks.
