Significance and Use4.1 The presence of water inside a membrane switch can affect its mechanical operation or electrical functionality, or both.Electrical failure can result as short circuits due to silver migration or exceeding the specified resistance due to

10、 oxidation.4.2 This test method establishes a procedure to verify the ability of a membrane switch to resist the entry of liquid in itself ora finished product, or both. It is useful in identifying design deficiencies.1 This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F01 on Electronics
