POWER ROCKER SWITCH

AJ8 SWITCHES WITH TRIP

FUNCTION UPGRADED TYPE

FEATURES

1. Power switches with an electromag-

netic reset function which meet the

need for energy savings in equipment

and for safety.

Applications for these switches include

promoting energy savings in equipment

(by reducing power consumption when

OA equipment is in standby mode, for

example), preventing ﬁres caused by

overheating of a heater inside equipment,

preventing electrical leaks, and automati-

cally turning off the power if the unit tips

over or is shaken. These switches feature

a built-in electromagnetic reset function

that shuts off the main power supply in

response to a signal that is received from

an external sensor.

2. Improved feel of switch operation.

These switches provide the same

comfortable operation of our

conventional AJ8 switches.

Comparison of force through operating stroke

3. CT terminals adopted for coil

terminals

These switches can be used with AMP’s

CT connectors, which are widely used for

wiring connections in OA equipment,

making it possible to achieve greater

efﬁciency in wiring work.

4. Prolonged electrical service life.

Coil operation provides an electrical life

of at least 50,000 switching operations.

5. Assures excellent ability to

withstand inrush current when used to

turn a power supply on/off.

The switch uses our own proprietary

mechanism that provides an excellent

ability to withstand inrush current.

Inrush current rating (IEC61058-1):

160A (normally 16A at 125V AC), 10,000

times

6. Approved under major international

safety standards.

UL, cUL, TÜV and SEMKO approved.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN

USING CADMIUM-FREE

CONTACT TYPE

Models with cadmium-free contacts have

been introduced in order to reduce

environmentally harmful substances. (“F”

is afﬁxed to the end of the part number.)

We ask customers who are currently

using products with cadmium-containing

contacts (no “F” at the end of the part

number) to please make the switch to

models with cadmium-free contacts.

When switching, operating life may differ

depending on the load. Please be sure to

verify this by conducting an evaluation

using actual equipment.

NOTES

COIL TERMINAL CONNECTOR

1. Operating voltage application time

If the rated voltage is applied to the coil

for more than 10 seconds or the

maximum voltage is applied for more

than 1 second, coil performance may

deteriorate.

2. The shape of the mounting panel

should be as recommended in the

dimensions diagram.

panel of other than the recommended

size and shape.

3. The mounting panel should be made

of SPCC. If a different material is used,

its adhesion to the switch unit may not

be as strong. Check this on site if

necessary.

4. Note that the actuator could pop out

of the switch housing if 19.6N (2kgf) or

more of force is applied to the side of

the actuator.

5. Regarding fastening lead wires to

terminals

(1) When connecting the .250 Quick-

connect terminals, use a .250 receptacle

and insert the terminals straight in.

If you insert them at an angle, the

terminals could catch on the opening and

will require greater insertion force.

(2) The coil terminals have speciﬁc

polarities. Make sure you connect them

correctly.

(3) Use a receptacle that is compliant

with JIS C 2809.

In addition, there is some deviation

regarding the insertion force depending

on the model used from different

manufacturers, so the insertion force

should be checked under realistic

conditions.

(4) Use AMP’s CT connector for the coil

terminals.

6. Because special receptacle

terminals are used for the contact

terminals and the common terminals,

do not attempt to solder them. Doing

so could melt plastic components and

otherwise harm the performance of

the switch

7. The terminals should be connected

in such a way that they are not under

constant stress from the connecting

wires.

8. Take care not to drop the product as

it may impair performance.

9. Resistance to chemicals

To clean the switch unit, use a neutral

detergent diluted with water.

Do not use acidic or alkaline solvents as

they may damage the switch.

Furthermore, be careful not to get any of

the detergent solution inside of the switch

while cleaning it.

10. This product is not hermetically

sealed, so its performance could

deteriorate under certain ambient

conditions. Avoid using and storing

these switches in a location where

they will be exposed to corrosive

gases, silicon, or high dust levels, all

of which can have an adverse effect

on the contacts. In addition, because

these switches contain permanent

magnets, avoid using and storing

these switches in a location where

metallic dust, etc., is present.

11. When these switches are used with

weak currents of 500mA or less, a

layer of material on the surface of the

contacts may cause contact

instability. Check and evaluate this

possibility before using these

switches under such conditions.

12. When using an ON-OFF type

switch with no (I O) indication on the

actuator, the “OFF” position should be

indicated on the set in which the

switch is installed.

13. To assure reliability, check the

switch under actual loading

conditions. Avoid any situation that

may adversely affect switching

performance.

Because CT terminals are used for the

coil terminals, AMP’s CT connector can

be used.

Remark: We do not sell this type of connector.

Questions concerning this connector should

be directed to the manufacturer.
