(100 minimum). |

10.000.000 this official HAPP information honywell 30.000.000 1.000.000 has sanwa (OBSF) and seimitsu - this little. professional shmup splayers in japan alter buttons what 3-4 months. they play 4-6/24h. nobody with us plays so many :laugh2: but this shows that 1.000.000 this is little. special sanwa series RG has 5.000.000 (Teaito Egret panels) manufacturers pass minimum value. 1.000.000 does not inform that button will get lost after 1.000.000. 100% keeps more (if you play on hand no leg) |

--- Quote from: kowal on September 27, 2007, 03:53:56 pm ---10.000.000 this official HAPP information --- End quote --- See part above about distributor ratings and marketing. For real specifications, look to the manufacturer, not the distributor / retailer. But for fun, let's do some math on that claim. If a machine was set up to perform 5-cycles per second (which is about as fast as a human can possibly cycle one of those switches, so it's a good "control" for the test) that test would take 2,000,000 seconds to perform. That's over 23 days, running 5 times a second for 24 hours a day. Does anyone here, based on their experience with pushbutton microswitches, believe that this switch would survive a week at that pace, let alone over 3? On the Cherry website, I see 1,000,000 mechanical cycle ratings only on specific models (not the K-Series used in pushbuttons) and 4,000,000 on expensive industrial switches. If you think you're going to get an average of 10,000,000 cycles out of a $1.00 switch, you have problems counting zeros. But that's just my opinion...I could be wrong. ;) --- Quote ---honywell 30.000.000 --- End quote --- Here's the Honeywell datasheet for that exact switch. You'll not find a number like the one you quoted anywhere in it. RandyT |

durability be counted on 1.000.000 pressing. 1 pressing on second. 1 minute -60 seconds. 60 minutes - 1h. 277,7h playing. 3h/24h = 90 days this agrees with fact of change of arcade panels in japan what 3-6 months different firms which are they produce microswitches: SAIA, Honywell, OMRON, Mastushita, MicroYamatace and all may >10.000.000 what easily above:P you do not believe? sorry your problem |

Well I was going to buy some of these micro-leafs from you Randy but Kowal has a valid point. I myslef am a professional Japanese shmups player much like most of the rest of this board and I WILL NOT invest $2.75 on a switch that will only last me 90 days. Good day to you, sir. ;) |
