G to I
Guided motion
Connection between Operation part and Contact, which has the effect of directly transmitting (without spring parts) the force exerted on the operation part on to the contact
High Inrush
Loads that require more current when first turned on than needed to continue operation. Light bulbs exhibit high resistive inrush and may draw up to 10 times or more the normal operating current when first turned on. Motors may show high inductive inrush currents when started
Illuminant
Light source for the illumination of the Lens or Indicator cap e.g. filament lamp, LED, neon lamp
Illuminated pushbutton actuator
Front part of an illuminated pushbutton, without contacts
Illuminated pushbutton maintained action
Pushbutton (maintained action) with integrated lampholder
Illumination
The illumination of an indicator area or of the operating part of an illuminated pushbutton by means of an illuminating device (filament lamp, LED, neon lamp)
Indicator
Light signal indicating a state by being illuminated or extinguished
Indicator actuator
Front part of an Indicator without integrated lampholder
Indicator cap
Transparent, also coloured, cover for an Indicator
Indicator element
Unit with integrated lampholder for mounting an Illuminant
Insulation resistance
DIN EN 61058 T.1 (VDE 0630 T.1) para. 15.1 => Resistance (kOhm, MOhm) between the different poles of a switch (base insulation) and between all parts which are under electric tension and are associated with each other and a metal foil which is superimposed on the touchable metal parts which are in contact with the base insulation. Quality of nonconducting material to withstand a maximum voltage
Insulation socket
Protection against contact of the live part of the blade terminal socket
Interval frequency
Oscillations per time unit in Hz
