Control Actuation Forces: pushbutton_thumb
MIL-STD-1472F control actuation force and displacement requirements — min/max resistance (N) and displacement (mm or degrees) for every control type by hand condition (bare/gloved/heavy handwear/foot). Covers pushbuttons, foot switches, keyboards, toggle switches, legend switches, rocker switches, levers, isotonic joysticks, pedals, mouse buttons, and handwheels per Section 5.4 Figures 12-21 and Tables IX, X, XII.
| control type | record id | hand condition | notes | parameter | unit imperial | unit metric | value max imperial (lb, oz, or in (see unit_imperial)) | value max metric (N or mm or deg (see unit_metric)) | value min imperial (lb, oz, or in (see unit_imperial)) | value min metric (N or mm or deg (see unit_metric)) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| pushbutton_thumb | pushbutton_thumb_bare_displacement | bare_hand | Thumb or palm displacement range | displacement | in | mm | 1.5 | 38 | 0.12 | 3 |
