Precautions
Please refer to "Common Precautions" for correct use.
Handling
Be careful not to drop the switch. Doing so may cause damage to
the switch's internal components because it is designed for a
small load.
Mounting
Use two M3 mounting screws with an appropriate screwdriver to
mount the switch. Tighten the screws to a torque of 0.39 to 0.59
N
·m {4 to 6 kgf·cm}.
Mounting Direction
Mount lever-operated switches with a maximum operating force
of 0.49 N in a direction where the actuator weight will not be
applied to the switch. Since the switch is designed for a small
load, its resetting force is small. Therefore, resetting failure may
occur if unnecessary load is applied to the switch.
Insulation Distance
According to EN61058-1, the minimum insulation thickness for
this switch should be 1.1 mm and minimum clearance distance
between the terminal and mounting plate should be 1.9 mm. If
the insulation distance cannot be provided in the product
incorporating the switch, either use a switch with insulation
barrier or use a Separator to ensure sufficient insulation
distance.
Using Micro Loads
Using a model for ordinary loads to open or close the contact of
a micro load circuit may result faulty contact. Use models that
operate in the following range. However, even when using micro
load models within the operating range shown below, if inrush
current occurs when the contact is opened or closed, it may
increase contact wear and so decrease durability. Therefore,
insert a contact protection circuit where necessary.
The minimum applicable load is the N-level reference value. This
value indicates the malfunction reference level for the reliability
level of 60% (λ 60). The equation, λ 60 = 0.5 × 10
-6
/operations
indicates that the estimated malfunction rate is less than
1/2,000,000 operations with a reliability level of 60%.
