POWER ROCKER SWITCH

J8 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.A dramatic upgrade in operation feelings

These switches provide the same comfortable operation feelings our conventional J8 switches.

3.CT terminals adopted for coil termi- nals

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 effi- ciency 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 with- stand 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 is employed.

Inrush current rating (IEC65) : 160A (nor- mally 16A at 125V AC), 10,000 times

6.Approved under major international safety standards.

UL, cUL, TÜV and SEMKO approved.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Manual operation is a repetition of (A) and (B) .

This operation is independent of the electromagnetic reset function.

The reset mechanism operates only when an electromagnetic reset has occurred. (C)
