The switch case may deform depending on the type of screw (screw head diameter, etc.), the size of the washer, and the use or non-use of a washer. Therefore, please confirm the appropriate torque of actual conditions. Also, it is recommended that adhesive be applied to lock the screws to prevent loosening of the screws. When doing so, please be careful not let any adhesive get inside the switch. ABJ (BJ) switches ABS (BS) switches ABV (BV) switches Screws M1.2 M2.3 M3.0 M2.3 M3.0 Tightening torque Not more than 0.098N*m Not more than 0.29N*m Not more than 0.29N*m Not more than 0.29N*m Not more than 0.49N*m 2) Fixed pin type To secure the switch unit, thermally crimp or press-fit the mounting pins. If the pins are to be press-fitted, install a guide on the opposite surface to the mounting pins to prevent them from slipping out of position and developing play. 3) Be sure to maintain adequate insulating clearance between each terminal and ground. 4) The positioning of the switch should be such that direct force is not applied to the pushbutton or actuator in its free position. The operating force to the pushbutton should only be applied in a perpendicular direction. 5) The standard value of overtravel used should be within the range of 70% to 100% of the rated OT value. 6) When soldering the BV type turquoise switch or the immersion protected type of the BJ and BS type switches, the sealing material sometimes forms a lump or bulge at the base of the terminal or lead. Be sure to allow enough space for this when attaching the switch. Soldering operations 1) Manual soldering: Perform soldering in less than 3 seconds with maximum 350C iron. Care should be taken not to apply force to the terminals during soldering. We recommend a soldering iron with temperature adjustment in order to prevent poor quality soldering. Please consult us if you intend to use a soldering iron of 60 W or higher. 2) Terminal portions should not be moved within 1 minute after soldering. ABJ (BJ) switches ABS (BS) switches ABV (BV) switches Soldering time Within 3 seconds Within 3 seconds Within 5 seconds 11 Selection of the switch Allow for up to 20% variation of the specified characteristics values to compensate for long term operational wear of the switch in your design. Cautions regarding use 1) When switching inductive loads (relays, solenoids, buzzers, etc.), an arc absorbing circuit is recommended to protect the contacts. 2) If switching of the contact is synchronized with the phase of the AC power, reduced electrical life or welded contact may occur. Therefore, test the switch while it is operating under actual loads for this condition. If found, you may wish to take corrective action in your design. 3) In the slow or high speed operating condition, the electrical life might be greatly reduced depending upon the switching load. Please consult us before use. 4) Using lever type in do not condition, there is the concern that the flexible part may be impeded and return movement may not be possible. In this situation take the following precautions: * Select a product of higher OF or use a leaf type lever. * Attach a protective cover to the lever. 5) If the leaf lever type switch is excessively pushed (pushed further than the operational limit position) or switching is done at high speed or is accompanied by the impact, the lever will break. Please be careful. Also, be careful with the short roller lever type ABV (BV) switch as improper return may result from pressing too much. Protection from dust, water and corrosive gas 1) The pin button and the space around the body cap Turquoise switches are sealed with elastic material, the terminal portion is integrally molded. This prevents dust entry and protects the switch against corrosive gases. Wireleaded types are recommended for applications subject to water or oil splash. However, avoid soaking these immersion protected types in oil or water, because those types are not of completely oil tight construction. 2) Switch operation or rapid temperature change while water droplets are on the switch may cause the water invasion inside the switch because of breathing action on condensation. Especially do not use switch in a bath. If sources of silicon gas are existing in the vicinity of the switch (silicon rubber, silicon oil, silicon coating, and silicon filler, etc.), silicon gas (low molecular siloxane, etc.) will be emitted and it will get into the product due to the permeability of the plastic. If the switch is used or stored in such an environment, silicon compound might generate on the contacts, cause the and faulty contacting. Therefore, please do not use sources that can emit silicon gas in the vicinity of the switch. Do not use in areas where flammable or explosive gases from gasoline and thinner, etc., may be present.

Shock range where a closed contact does not open for longer than a specified time due to shocks during use of the snap-action switches. AECTB36E 201811-T Technical Terminology & Cautions for Use OPERATING CHARACTERISTIC Definition of operating characteristic The main terminological illustrations and meanings which are used with snapaction switches are as follows. Classification RF OF PT TF Force TT FP OT Symbol Unit Varying display method Operating Force OF N Max. Release Force RF N Min. Totaltravel Force TF N Pretravel PT mm, degree Max. Overtravel OT mm, degree Min. Movement Differential MD mm, degree Max. Totaltravel TT Free Position FP Operating Position OP mm, degree Release Position RP mm, degree The position of the actuator when the traveling contact snaps back from operating position to its original position. Total travel Position TTP mm, degree The stopping position of the actuator after total travel. Terminology MD OP RP TTP Movement Center of mounting holes Position mm, degree mm, degree Starting current The force required to cause contact snap-action. It is expressed terms of force applied to the the actuator. The force to be applied to the the actuator at the moment contact snaps back from operated position to total travel position. Force applied to an actuator required to move from an operating position to a total travel position Distance or agree of the actuator movement from free position to operating position. The distance or degree which the actuator is permitted to travel after actuation without any damage to the switching mechanism. The distance or degree from operating position to release position of the actuator. The migration length or the move angle from the free position to total travel position of actuator Position of the actuator when no force is applied to. The position of the actuator when the traveling contacts snaps with the fixed contact. TECHNICAL NOTES ON MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF RF FP Contact force The figure at right shows a typical example of activation and contact forces varying with stroke. In the vicinity of the OP and RP, the contact force is diminished, causing chatter and contact bounce immediately before or after reversal. For this reason, use the switch while giving due consideration to this. This also causes the snap action switch to be sensitive to vibration or shock. Operating force Actuation Force and Stroke Adequate stroke setting is the key to high reliability. It is also important that adequate contact force be 'maintained to ensure high reliability. For a normally closed (NC) circuit, the driving mechanism should be set so that the actuator is normally in the free position. For a normally open (NO) circuit, the actuator should be pressed to 70% to 100% of the specified stroke to absorb possible errors. If the stroke is set too close to the operating point (OP), this may cause unstable contact, and in the worst case may cause actuator damage due to inertia of the drive mechanism. It is advisable that the stroke be adjusted with the mounting plate or driving mechanism. RP PT TTP OP MD Changes in Operating Characteristics Exercise design care so that malfunctions will not occur if the operating characteristics vary by as much as 20% from, rated values. In the OF max. 0.98N specification for FS snap-action switches, the allowable max. is 0.98 N x (100%+20%) = 1.18 N In the RF min. 0.15 N min. specification the allowable min. 0.15 N x (100%-20%) = 0.12 N Mechanical Conditions for Type Selection Actuator type should be selected according to activation method, activation speed, activation rate, and activation frequency. 1) An extremely slow activation speed may cause unstable contact transfer, possibly resulting in contact failures or contact fusion. 2) An extremely high activation speed may cause damage to contacts or contact response failure. Stroke Driving Mechanism Use of a driving mechanism which will cause physical impact to the actuator should be avoided. OT NC On FP On reversal On reversal On OTP NO Stroke Bad 14 Good AECTB36E 201811-T Technical Terminology & Cautions for Use TECHNICAL NOTES ON ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS 1) The snap-action switch is designed for AC operations. While it has small contact gaps and no arc absorber, it may be used for low-capacity DC operations. Please refer to the rating of each products 2) For applications with very small switching voltage or current, choose the low-level load type (Au contact). Small current and voltage application range (Au contact) Current (mA) 500 100 50 10 5 2 1 4 8 12 16 20 24 DC voltage (VDC) 3) When selecting a contact type of a snap-action switch to be used for low-level load switching, the following should be noted. Silver contacts' surfaces are prone to be oxidized and form a sulfide film. The switch operates with no problems at the beginning of use. However, as the contact surfaces develop films with time, the film may not be broken by the switching operation, causing a conduction failure. Therefore, please choose the Au contact type for switching a load of 0.1 A or below. 4) Application to Electronic Circuits * The snap-action switch contacts can sustain bounce or chatter when closed. Bounce or chatter can cause noise or pulse count errors when the snap action switch is used in electronic circuits. * If contact bounce or chatter poses problems in the vicinity of the OP and RP, use a suitable absorption network, such as a C/ R network. 5) Check the surge current, normal current and surge duration. 6) Contact resistance given in performance specifications is measured with a voltage drop method using 6 to 8 V DC, 1 A (except for low-level load type). Contact resistance across COM and NC terminals is measured in the free position, while contact resistance across COM and NO terminals is measured in the total travel position. 7) To prevent contact welding failure, be sure to use a serial resistance for each capacitive load. 8) If snap-action switch operation is synchronized with the AC supply phase, this may cause: shortened electrical life, contact fusion failure, contact transfer, or other reliability problems. CAUTIONS IN A CIRCUIT 1) Contact protection is recommended when snap-action switches are used in an inductive load circuit.

Wrong L 200V 100V 15 AECTB36E 201811-T Technical Terminology & Cautions for Use MOUNTING STATE AND ENVIRONMENT Checking the insulation distance After mounting and wiring, check the insulation distance between terminals and the ground. If the insulation distance is inadequate, mount insulating material between as required. Fastening the snap-action switch body See the Section "CAUTIONS FOR USE" for the individual switch. Position adjustment with effector 1) The effector should be positioned so that direct force is not applied to the plunger or actuator in its free position. The operating force to the plunger should only be applied in a perpendicular direction. 2) Note that the use of the switch as a stopper may cause an operational problem. Switch installation position * Basically, the switch should be installed so that the object to press the switch's plunger or lever can press it down to 70 to 100% of OT of the switch. When determining the position, the tolerance of OP (Operating Position) and other factors should be taken into account. The following describes the case where the strictest tolerance conditions are adopted. * Example: Hinge lever type FS switch Reference values: OP = 8.80.8mm PT = max. 2.8mm OT = min. 1.2mm FP OP TTP PT OT (1) When the switch is not pressed The object to press the lever should not be in contact with the lever. For this purpose, the object should be at a distance from the switch father than the maximum FP (Free Position) value. FP max = OP max + PT max = 9.6 + 2.8 = 12.4 mm max The object should be at a distance of 12.4 mm or more from the mounting hole. (2) Depressed position The plunger/lever should be pressed down to 70% or more of OT (Over Travel). Therefore, the depressed position should be calculated based on the minimum value of OP (Operating Position) and the 70 and 100% of the OT value. OP min - 70% of OT = 8.0 - 0.84 = 7.16 mm OP min - 100% of OT = 8.0 - 1.2 = 6.80 mm The plunger/lever should be pressed down to the position of 6.80 to 7.16 mm from the mounting hole. Soldering precautions For manual soldering, lay the terminals flat (horizontal with the ground) and quickly perform the soldering operation using a soldering iron with the appropriate heat capacity and the proper amount of solder. Take care that the flux does not flow into the switch interior by using a ventilation fan to discharge flux gas and to prevent contact of the switch body with the soldering iron tip. Be careful not to apply force to the lead wires or the terminal portions immediately after soldering. The temperature setting and time conditions vary depending on the product. See the section "CAUTIONS FOR USE" for each product. Wrong Soldering iron tip Correct Avoid using in a silicon atmosphere Avoid using organic silicon rubber, adhesives, sealing compounds, oil, grease, and wires in a silicon atmosphere. Please consult us when using under the following conditions*: 1) Environments where hydrogen sulfide or other corrosive gases are present. 2) Environments where gasoline, thinner or other flammable, explosive gases are present. 3) Dusty environments (for non-seal type snap action switches). 4) The perpendicular operating speed exceeds the allowable operating speed. 5) Switching between different poles. 6) Use in environments not in the prescribed temperature or humidity range. Storage precautions To prevent discoloration due to sulfurization of the terminals (silver- plated), store the switches in a polyethylene bag or other suitable airtight container. 16 AECTB36E 201811-T Technical Terminology & Cautions for Use Usage, storage, and transport conditions (except turquoise switches) During usage, storage, or transportation, avoid locations subject to direct sunlight and maintain normal temperature, humidity, and pressure conditions. The allowable specifications for environments suitable for usage, storage, and transportation are given below. 1) Temperature: The allowable temperature range differs for each switch, so refer to the switch's individual specifications. In addition, when transporting or storing switches while they are tube packaged, there are cases when the temperature may differ from the allowable range. In this situation, be sure to consult the individual specifications. 2) Humidity: The allowable temperature range differs for each switch, so refer to the switch's individual specifications. 3) Pressure: 86 to 106 kPa The humidity range varies with the temperature. Use within the range indicated in the graph below. Humidity, %R.H. 85 Tolerance range (Avoid freezing when (Avoid used at temperatures condensation when lower than 0C 32F) used at temperatures higher than 0C 32F) 5 -40 -40 0 +32 Temperature, C F We reserve the right to modify without notice the materials, internal components, and other parts to improve product quality. Handling precautions When handling the switches, be careful not to drop them on the floor since this may damage them. * Select contact sulfurization (clipping) prevention products (FS and Au-clad double layer contacts) for use with extremely small loads or an environment-resistant Turquoise switch. Others 1) Failure modes of switches include short-circuiting, opencircuiting and temperature rises. If this switch is to be used in equipment where safety is a prime consideration, examine the possible effects of these failures on the equipment concerned, and ensure safety by providing protection circuits or protection devices. In terms of the systems involved, make provision for redundancy in the design and take steps to achieve safety design. 2) The ambient operating temperature (and humidity) range quoted is the range in which the switch can be operated on a continuous basis: it does not mean that using the switch within the rating guarantees the durability performance and environment withstanding performance of the switch. For details on the performance guarantee, check the specifications of each product concerned. +85 +185 (The allowable temperature depends on the switch.) * Condensation will occur inside the switch if there is a sudden change in ambient temperature when used in an atmosphere of high temperature and high humidity. This is particularly likely to happen when being transported by ship, so please be careful of the atmosphere when shipping. Condensation is the phenomenon whereby steam condenses to cause water droplets that adhere to the switch when an atmosphere of high temperature and humidity rapidly changes from a high to low temperature or when the switch is quickly moved from a low humidity location to one of high temperature and humidity. Please be careful because condensation can cause adverse conditions such as deterioration of insulation, coil cutoff, and rust. * Condensation or other moisture may freeze on the switch when the temperatures is lower than 0C 32F. This causes problems such as sticking of movable parts or operational time lags. * The plastic becomes brittle if the switch is exposed to a low temperature, low humidity environment for long periods of time. * Storage for extended periods of time (including transportation periods) at high temperatures or high humidity levels or in atmospheres with organic gases or sulfide gases may cause a sulfide film or oxide film to form on the surfaces of the contacts and/or it may interfere with the functions. Check out the atmosphere in which the units are to be stored and transported. * In terms of the packing format used, make every effort to keep the effects of moisture, organic gases and sulfide gases to the absolute minimum. 17 AECTB36E 201811-T Technical Terminology & Cautions for Use Types of actuators Shape Pretravel (PT) Overtravel (OT) Operating Force (OF) Vibration Shock Pin plunger Small Small Large Outstanding Appropriate for linear short-stroke action. Pin plunger acts directly on snap action mechanism, enabling high-precision positioning.

Appropriate for use with low-speed cams and dogs; has large stroke. Lever available in various shapes to fit operating unit. Simulated roller lever Large Medium Small Possible Tip of hinge lever is bent into a semi-circle, enabling use as a simple roller type. Leaf lever Large Large Small Excellent Play in lever is used to assure maximum stroke. Construction provides for space where lever is attached, for outstanding resistance to freezing. Hinge roller lever Large Medium Small Possible This is a hinge lever with a roller, and can be used with high-speed cams and dogs. The force required for pin plunger action is lighter than that of the lever, and the stroke is longer. Classification Features 18 AECTB36E 201811-T 2019 AECTB59E-1 201903
