GUIDELINES FOR USAGE
Soldering conditions
The application of excessive heat upon the switch when
soldering can cause degradation of switch operation.
Therefore, be sure to keep within the conditions given below.
Manual soldering: use soldering irons (max. 350°C, within 3
seconds at each terminal) capable of temperature adjustment.
This is to prevent deterioration due to soldering heat. Care
should be taken not to apply force to the terminals during
soldering.
(More than one second interval is required to apply heat
at each terminal.) Please consult us if you intend to use a
soldering iron that exceeds 60 W.
Mounting
Please avoid use in which load would be applied to the sides
(hatch part (both sides) shown below) of the switch in the
direction indicated by the arrows. This could cause erroneous
operation. Also, when using a metal installation board, please
make allowance for burr direction designation and burr
suppressing, etc., so that the burr side will not be on the switch
installation side.
1) To secure the switch, please use an M3 small screw on a
flat surface and tighten using a maximum torque of 0.29
N·m. It is recommended that both flat metal washer and
spring washers be used with the screws and adhesive
be applied to lock the screws to prevent loosening of the
screws. Please make sure not to apply adhesive onto the
moving parts.
2) Be sure to maintain adequate insulating clearance between
each terminal and ground.
3) Although it is possible to directly operate the pin plunger
type from the lateral direction, please consult us if doing so.
4) After mounting please make sure no tensile load will be
applied to the switch terminals.
5) Range of possible use: Please set the operation position
to within the ranges in the following table so that there
is sufficient insulation distance and to maintain contact
reliability.

6) P/C board terminal type should be used if the products are
to be soldered on the P/C board. Solder terminal type is not
for soldering on P/C board.

Cautions regarding the circuit
1) In order to prevent malfunction in set devices caused by
bounce and chattering during the ON-OFF switch operation,
please verify the validity of the circuit under actual operating
conditions and temperature range.
2) When switching inductive loads (relays, solenoids, buzzers,
etc.), an arc absorbing circuit is recommended to protect
the contacts.
Please verify under actual conditions.
Please be sure to conduct quality verification under actual
operating conditions in order to increase reliability during
actual use.
Selection of switch
Please make your selection so that there will be no problems
even if the operating characteristics vary up to ±20% from the
standard values.
Oil-proof and chemical-proof characteristics
Do not use alcohol-based solvents.
The rubber cap swells when exposed to oil and chemicals.
The extent of swelling will vary widely depending on the type
and amount of oil and chemicals.
Check with the actual oil or chemicals used. In particular,
be aware that solvents such as freon, chlorine, toluene, and
cannot be used.
Environment
1) Although continuous operation of the switch is possible
within the range of ambient temperature (humidity), as
the humidity range differs depending on the ambient
temperature, the humidity range indicated below should be
used. Continuous use near the limit of the range should be
avoided.
2) This humidity range does not guarantee permanent
performance.
