FEATURES
• Handles low level load 100 µA at 3
VDC to 100 mA 30 VDC
[Minimum switching capacity
(reference value) 10 µA at 1 VDC]
• Ultra-long stroke. For pin plunger
type, it maintains an ultra-long stroke
O.T. (Over Travel) with over 2.2 mm
on the NO side and over 2.5 mm on
the NC side.
• Since contact pressure does not
depend on the operation stroke, the
range of possible use over the entire
stroke is greatly increased.
• Silent operation
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
• Household appliances
(Cover detection of air conditioners
and air purifiers for safety purpose.
Cover destruction detection of crime
prevention devices.)

RATING
1. Rating
100 µA at 3 VDC to 100 mA 30 VDC.
[Min. switching capacity (Reference value*) 10 µA at 1 VDC]
* This value is a rough indication of the lowest possible low level load at which switching is possible.
This value can change due to the switching frequency, environmental conditions, and desired reliability level, therefore it is recommended to check this with the actual load.
2. Operation environment and conditions
Note 1: When switching at low and high speeds or under vibration, or in high-temperature, high-humidity environments, life and performance may be reduced significantly
depending on the load capacity. Please consult us.

2. Indicates operation load for NO contact to achieve ON status.
3. Indicates position for NC contact to achieve OFF status.
4. Indicates position for NO contact to achieve ON status.
5. Although there is some overlap in the range of the operating position (O.P.) on the NC and NO sides due to the tolerance, in actuality there is always an intermediate
OFF range (the NC and NO sides will never ON at the same time.)

Soldering conditions
Manual soldering: use soldering irons
(max. 350°C, within 2 seconds) capable
of temperature adjustment. This is to
prevent deterioration due to soldering
heat. Care should be taken not to apply
force to the terminals during soldering.
Te r minal portion must not be moved
within 1 minute after soldering.
Mounting
Please avoid use in which load would be
applied to the sides [hatch part (both
sides) shown below] of the switch in the
direction indicated by the arrows. This
could cause erroneous operation. Also,
when using a metal installation board,
please make allowance for burr direction
designation and burr suppressing, etc.,
so that the burr side will not be on the
switch installation side.
1) To secure the switch, please use an
M3 small screw on a flat surface and
tighten using a maximum torque of 0.29
N·m. It is recommended that spring
washers be used with the screws and
adhesive be applied to lock the screws to
prevent loosening of the screws. Please
make sure not to apply adhesive onto the
moving parts.
2) Be sure to maintain adequate
insulating clearance between each
terminal and ground.
3) Although it is possible to directly
operate the pin plunger type from the
lateral direction, please consult us if
doing so.
4) After mounting please make sure no
tensile load will be applied to the switch
terminals.
5) Range of possible use: Please set the
operation position to within the ranges in
the following table so that there is
sufficient insulation distance and to
maintain contact reliability.
6) PC board terminal type should be
used if the products are to be soldered on
the PC board. (Solder terminal type is not
for soldering on PC board.)
Cautions regarding the circuit
1) In order to prevent malfunction in set
devices caused by bounce and chattering
during the ON-OFF switch operation,
please verify the validity of the circuit
under actual operating conditions and
temperature range.
2) When switching inductive loads
(relays, solenoids, buzzers, etc.), an arc
absorbing circuit is recommended to
protect the contacts.
Please verify under actual
conditions.
Please be sure to conduct quality
verification under actual operating
conditions in order to increase reliability
during actual use.
Switch selection
Please make your selection so that there
will be no problems even if the operating
characteristics vary up to ±20% from the
standard values.
Other
1) Keep away from environments where
silicon based adhesives, oil or grease are
present as faulty contacts may result
from silicon oxide. Do not use in areas
where flammable or explosive gases from
gasoline and thinner, etc., may be
present.
2) When using the lever type, please be
careful not to apply unreasonable load
from the reverse or lateral directions of
operation.
3) Do not exceed the total travel position
(TTP) and press the actuator. This could
cause operation failure. Also, when
switching at high speed or under shock
even within the operation limit, the
working life may decrease. Therefore,
please be sure to verify the quality under
actual conditions of use.
4) Please make considerations so that
the switch does not become the stopper
for the operating part. The switch could
break.
