Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F01 on Electronics, this test method was withdrawn in January 2024 in accordance with section 10.6.3 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.

4.1 Contact bounce time is essential to manufacturers and users when designing interface circuitry because it specifies the time delay necessary in the decoder circuitry to avoid any false signals caused by contact bounce. Allowing for time delay makes the switch operation considerably more reliable.

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the contact bounce time of a membrane switch.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
