Hello,
I have a question regarding to the rated current for a AC and DC current for micro-switch. I found in some micro switches that the rated current when apply DC voltage is less than the AC voltage. Such as this example: **broken link removed**
It is shown that the 1A 125VAC (UL); DC5V 30mA. I don't get why? I was thinking that the current should be the same for both AC and DC because of the voltage will apply on the same terminals. Could you help me to understand why there is a difference?
Best wishes,
Mohammed
