Dimensions and Operating Characteristics
The following illustrations and drawings are for COM bottom position and quick-connect terminals #250 (terminals C). V models with a switching current of 16 A and
11 A incorporate solder terminals (A) and quick-connect termimals #187 (C2). These models are different from #250 models in terminal size only. Dimensions of solder
terminals A, quick-connect terminal #187 (C2) and COM side position are omitted. Please refer to the "Terminals and Shapes" on previous page.
The @ is replaced with the code for the terminals. See the "List of Models" for available combinations of shapes.
Note 1. Unless otherwise specified, a tolerance of ±0.4 mm applies to all dimensions.
Note 2. The operating characteristics are for operation in the A direction ( ).

Precautions
★Please read "Common Precautions" for correct use.
●Soldering
• Connecting to Solder Terminals
Complete the soldering at the iron tip temperature of 250°C to
350°C (60W) within 5 seconds, and do not apply any external
force for 1 minute after soldering.
Be sure to apply only the minimum required amount of flux.It
may result in contact failure once the flux penetrates into the
internal part of the Switch.
• Connecting to Quick-connect Terminals #187
Insert the receptacle of quick-connect terminal #187 straight
toward the terminal.
Applying excessive external force horizontally or vertically may
cause deformation of terminals and may damage the
housings.
• Connecting to Quick-connect Terminals #250
Insert the receptacle of quick-connect terminal #250 straight
toward the terminal.
Applying excessive external force horizontally or vertically may
cause deformation of terminals and may damage the
housings.
●Mounting
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 0.59N·m {4 to 6 kgf·cm}.
