Miniature Basic Switch

with Low Operating Force

and High Contact

Reliability

● Wide variation extends from micro load to 5A

switching current, with shapes identical to those

of the V-series Miniature Basic Switch.

● Unique internal mechanism ensures the high

contact reliability even in micro load operations.

Applicable for detection of lightweight objects.

RoHS Compliant

VX Miniature Basic Switch Precautions ★Please refer to "Common Precautions" for correct use. Cautions Correct Use ●Handling ●Mounting Do not apply excessive shock. Doing so may cause damage to the Switch's internal components because it is designed for a small load. Use M3 mounting screw with plane washers or spring washers to securely mount the Switch. Tighten the screws to a torque of 0.39 to 0.59 N·m {4 to 6 kgf·cm}.
