FEATURES

1.High performance and excellent characteristics.

An AH7 snap action switch is used in the switch body and since the installation frame is made of molded plastic, dimensional accuracy is now on a new level.

2.Two series: push type and lock type Lock type also available that locks when rotated.

3.Six push-button colors

You can use colors in accordance with sequence functions.

4.The switch body uses an AH7 snap action switch (O.F. 3.92 N max. type). Also, if dirt and water resistant properties are required of the internal switch, a V type turquoise switch (sealed type snap action switch) can be built in. Please inquire.

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.
