NOTES

1.Operating voltage application time If the rated voltage is applied to the coil for more than 10 seconds or the maxi- mum voltage is applied for more than 1 second, coil performance may deterio- rate.

2.The shape of the mounting panel should be as recommended in the dimensions diagram.

Contact us if you are considering using a 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 be 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.

(1) When connecting the tab terminals, use a .250 receptacle and insert the ter- minals straight in.

If you insert them at an angle, the termi- nals could catch on the opening and will require greater insertion force.

(2) The coil terminals have specific polar- ities. Make sure you connect them cor- rectly.

(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 manu- facturers, so the insertion force should be checked under realistic conditions.

(4)Use AMP's CT connector for the coil terminals.

6. Because special receptacle termi- nals 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 dete- riorate under certain ambient condi- tions. Avoid using and storing these switches in a location where they will be exposed to corrosive gases, sili- con, or high dust levels, all of which can have an adverse effect on the con- tacts. 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 instabil- ity. Check and evaluate this possibility before using these switches under such conditions.

12.When using an ON-OFF type switch with no (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 condi- tions. Avoid any situation that may adversely affect switching perfor- mance.

COIL TERMINAL CONNECTOR

Because CT terminals are used for the

AMP's CT connector

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 manufac- turer.
