NOTES
1. Fastening of the switch body
1) Use flat filister head M3 screws to
mount switches with less than a 0.49
N·m torque. Use of screws washers or
adhesive lock is recommended to
prevent loosening of the screws.
2) Check insulation distance between
ground and each terminal.
3) When the operation object is in the
free position, f orce should not be applied
directly to the actuator or pin plunger.
Also force should be applied to the pin
plunger from vertical direction to the
switch.
4) The standard value of overtravel
should be the range of 70% to 100% of
the rated O.T. value.
2. Soldering operations
Soldering should be accomplished in
less than 5 seconds, with a 60 watt iron.
Care should be taken not to apply force
to the terminal during soldering.
3. Varience of operating
characteristics
When specifying the s witch, allow +20%
to the listed operating and release
forces.
4. Environment
Avoid using the switches in the following
conditions;
• In corrosive gases, such as silicon gas
• In a dusty environment
5. For switching of inductive loads
(relays, solenoids, etc.)
1) In order to prevent damage to
contacts due to the occurrence of arcing,
an arc absorbing circuit should be
applied.
2) Care should be taken that occurrence
in A C load possibly shorten the expected
life.
6. Please assure the quality and
reliability of the switch under the
actual service condition.
7. It is recommended to use Gold clad
contact type in use of low-level circuit
rating.
8. Cover and body are press-fitted.
Once it is taken apart, it may cause
change of characteristics.
9. Cover and body are press-fitted.
Once it is taken apart, it may cause
change of characteristics.
