MIL-PRF-24236D
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. . For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the contract or
order (see 6.2). When packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD or in-house contractor personnel, these
personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain packaging requirements. Packaging
requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point's packaging activities within the Military Service or
Defense Agency, or within the military service's system commands. Packaging data retrieval is available from the
managing Military Department's or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting
the responsible packaging activity.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. Switches covered by this specification are intended for use in low power dc applications. Also,
these switches are intended for use on printed circuit boards, and leads may be soldered or inserted in plug-in
sockets. When switches and plug-in sockets are used together, they should have similar or compatible contact
finishes. These switches military unique due to the fact that these devices must be able to operate satisfactorily in
military systems under the following demanding conditions: 15 gs of vibration, up to 500 gs of shock. In addition
these military requirements are verified under a qualification system. Commercial components are not designed to
withstand these military environmental conditions.
6.2 Ordering data.
