Momentary and latching Explanation: This from the Schuckat.com site. Latching is "rastend" of course. Sorry, on a mobile, limited research possibilities. |

latching/non-latching Explanation: This is what sprang to mind, but I am not sure where from... It might be worth further investigation. Totally different context, but the description here seems to fit: http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=352222 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2012-07-04 14:52:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Text from the site referenced above: "A latching switch is on/off. One click and it performs a function. Another click opposite function. Non latching performs the action when your foot is on it and opposite function when you remove your foot, returning to initial state." |

latching / momentary-action Explanation: Questions about these have been asked on Proz before. I put the links below. The person who answered this question proviously (Ken Cox, on 17 Feb 2006) said, "There are two basic types of pushbutton switches: momentary action (actuated only as long as pressed) and latching (remains actuated after pressed until pressed again; also called 'alternating action)."
