NOTES
USE OF CONNECTOR
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.
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 AC 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 Au-clad
contact type in use of low-level circuit
rating.
The .187 Quick-connect terminal and
.250 Quick-connect terminal accept the
all kinds of 1 polarity connectors and the
“Positive Lock” connectors
Please contact the manufacturers
directly.

3) When the operation object is in the
free position, force 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.
• “Positive Lock” connector.

2. Soldering operations
Manual soldering should be
accomplished within 5 seconds, with
max. 350C iron. Care should be taken
not to apply force to the terminal during
soldering.
Terminal portions must not be moved in
min.1 minute after soldering.
Also no tensile strength of lead wires
should be applied to terminals.
3. Varience of operating
8. Cover and body are press-fitted.
Once it is taken apart, it may cause
change of characteristics.
