Several models of hermetically sealed toggle switches meeting the requirements of MIL-S-3950, were evaluated to determine the probability that they would withstand the environmental requirements of, and therefore be suitable for use on, the space shuttle vehicle. The evaluation was started with a comparison of the environmental requirements for space shuttle hardware. This was followed with in-house testing for those environments where a reasonably firm conclusion could not be drawn in the comparison. Space simulation, acceleration, and vibration testing were performed in-house.
