General-purpose Basic Switch Z147
General-purpose Basic Switch
Z
Best-selling Basic Switch Boasting High
Precision and Wide Variety
• A large switching capacity of 15 A with high repeat accuracy.
• A wide range of variations in contact form for your selection:
basic, split-contact and maintained-contact.
• A series of standard models for micro loads is available.
• A series of molded terminal-type models incorporating
safety terminal protective cover is available.
Model Number Structure
Available types
•A variety of actuators is available for a wide range of application.
•The contact mechanism of models for micro loads is a crossbar
type with gold-alloy contacts, which ensures highly reliable
operations for micro loads.
•Contact Gap:
H2: 0.20 mm (extra-high-sensitivity)
H: 0.25 mm (high-sensitivity, micro voltage current load)
G: 0.5 mm (standard)
E: 1.8 mm (high-capacity)
F: 1.0 mm (split-contact models)
•These Switches use a rubber boot on the actuator and adhesive fill
between the case and cover to increase resistance to drips.
•Models with drip-proof terminal protective covers and molded
terminals with resin filling are also available.
•This type is identical in construction to the general-purpose basic
switch except that it has two pairs of simultaneous acting contacts
by splitting moving contacts.
•Since the moving contacts are connected to a common terminal,
either parallel or series connection is possible.
•Highly reliable micro load switching is ensured if the model is used
as a twin-contact switch.
•The maintained-contact type has a reset button at the bottom of the
switch case, in addition to the pushbutton (plunger) located on the
opposite side of the reset button. Use these buttons alternately.
•Since the Switch has greater pretravel than overtravel, it is suitable
for use in reversible control circuits, manual reset circuits, safety
limit circuits, and other circuits which are not preferable for
automatic resetting. (For further details, refer to individual
datasheets.)

Dimensions
■General-purpose and Split Contact Models
Note: Unless otherwise specified, all units are in millimeters and a tolerance of ± 0.4 mm applies to all dimensions
Terminals
Mounting
All switches can be side mounted using M4 mounting screws with
plane washers or spring washers to securely mount the Switch.
Tighten the screws to a torque of 1.18 to 1.47 N·m.
Versions with panel mount plungers can be panel mounted via the
plunger, provided that the hexagonal nut of the actuator is tightened
to a torque of 2.94 to 4.9 N·m.
Note:
Mount using either the side mounting holes or the panel mount
plunger, not both. If using the side mounting holes, then remove
the hexagonal nut(s) from the panel mount plunger
.

Safety Precautions
Be sure to read the precautions and information common to all Snap Action and Detection Switches, contained in the Technical User’s Guide,
“Snap Action Switches, Technical Information” for correct use.
Precautions for Safe Use
Terminal Connection
When soldering lead wires to the Switch, make sure that the capacity
of the soldering iron is 60 W maximum. Do not take more than 5 s to
solder any part of the Switch. The characteristics of the Switch will
deteriorate if a soldering iron with a capacity of more than 60 W is
applied to any part of the Switch for 5 s or more.
Operation
•Make sure that the switching frequency or speed is within the
specified range.
1. If the switching speed is extremely slow, the contact may not be
switched smoothly, which may result in a contact failure or contact
welding.
2. If the switching speed is extremely fast, switching shock may
damage the Switch soon. If the switching frequency is too high,
the contact may not catch up with the speed.
The rated permissible switching speed and frequency indicate the
switching reliability of the Switch.
The life of a Switch is determined at the specified switching
speed. The life varies with the switching speed and frequency
even when they are within the permissible ranges. In order to
determine the life of a Switch model to be applied to a particular
use, it is best to conduct an appropriate durability test on some
samples of the model under actual conditions.
•Make sure that the actuator travel does not exceed the permissible
OT position. The operating stroke must be set to 70% to 100% of
the rated OT.
Precautions for Correct Use
Mounting Location
•Do not use the switch alone in atmospheres such as flammable or
explosive gases. Arcing and heat generation associated with
switching may cause fires or explosions.
•Switches are generally not constructed with resistance against
water. Use a protective cover to prevent direct spraying if the switch
is used in locations subject to splashing or spurting oil or water,
dust adhering.
•Install the switch in a location that is not directly subject to debris
and dust from cutting. The actuator and the switch body must be
protected from accumulated cutting debris and dirt.
•Do not use the switch in locations subject to hot water (greater than
60°C) or in water vapor.
•Do not use the switch outside the specified temperature and
atmospheric conditions.
The permissible ambient temperature depends on the model.
(Refer to the specifications in this catalog.) Sudden thermal
changes may cause thermal shock to distort the switch and result
in faults.
•Mount a cover if the switch is to be installed in a location where
worker inattention could result in incorrect operation or accidents.
•Subjecting the switch to continuous vibration or shock may result in
contact failure or faulty operation due to abrasion powder and in
reduced durability. Excessive vibration or shock will cause the
contacts to operate malfunction or become damaged. Mount the
switch in a location that is not subject to vibration or shock and in a
direction that does not subject the switch to resonance.
•If silver contacts are used with relatively low frequency for a long
time or are used with microloads, the sulfide coating produced on
the contact surface will not be broken down and contact faults will
result. Use a microload switch that uses gold contacts.
•Do not use the switch in atmospheres with high humidity or heat or
in harmful gases, such as sulfide gas (H2S, SO2), ammonia gas
(NH3), nitric acid gas (HNO3), or chlorine gas (Cl2). Doing so may
impair functionality, such as with damage due to contacting faults or
corrosion.
•The switch includes contacts. If the switch is used in an atmosphere
with silicon gas, arc energy may cause silicon oxide (SiO2) to
accumulate on the contacts and result in contact failure. If there is
silicon oil, silicon filling, silicon wiring, or other silicon products in
the vicinity of the switch, use a contact protection circuit to limit
arcing and remove the source of the silicon gas.
Mounting
Always make sure that the power is turned OFF before mounting,
removing, or wiring the Switch, or performing maintenance.
Electric shock or burning may occur.
Selecting Models
We recommend using Drip-proof Models (protection equivalent to
IP62) in locations subject to floating dirt and dust. Other models do
not have a protective structure.
Wiring
For wiring, use a wire size that is appropriate for the applied voltage
and the supplied current. When soldering the Switch, make sure that
the capacity of the soldering iron is 60 W maximum. Do not take
more than 5 s to solder any part of the Switch. Using the Switch with
incomplete soldering may result in errors and heat, which may cause
burning. The characteristics of the Switch will deteriorate if a
soldering iron with a capacity of more than 60 W is used or if any part
of the Switch is soldered for 6 s or longer.

Tightening
The suitable tightening torque for screw terminals is given below.
•Screw terminals except for those on Split-contact Models
(Z-10FY-B): 0.78 to 1.18 N·m
•Screw terminals on Split-contact Models
(Z-10FY-B): 0.49 to 1.18 N·m
Operation
•Make sure that the switching speed and frequency are is within the
specified ranges.
1. If the switching speed is extremely slow, the contacts may not be
switched smoothly, which may result in a contact failure or contact
welding.
2. If the switching speed is extremely fast, switching shock may
damage the Switch prematurely. If the switching frequency is too
high, the contacts may not be able to keep up with the speed.
The rated permissible switching speed and frequency indicate the
switching reliability of the Switch.
The life of a Switch is determined at the specified switching
speed. The life varies with the switching speed and frequency
even when they are within the permissible ranges.
Always conduct appropriate durability tests under actual condi-
tions before using a Switch.
•Make sure that the actuator travel does not exceed the permissible
OT position. The operating stroke must be set to 70% to 100% of
the rated OT.
Panel Mount Switch (Z-15
@
Q
@
, Z-01
@
Q
@
)
•When mounting the panel mount plunger model with screws on a
side surface, be careful of the dog angle and operation speed.
Excessive dog angle or operation speed may damage the Switch.
•When using the panel mount plunger model mounted with screws
on a side surface, be careful not to apply a large shock. Applying a
shock exceeding 1,000 m/s2 may damage the Switch.
•When using the panel mount plunger model mounted with screws
on a side surface, remove the hexagonal nuts from the actuator.
High-sensitivity Switch (Z-15H)/
Extra-high-sensitivity Switch (Z-15H2)
•When using the Switch in a DC circuit, be sure to provide an arc
suppressor as well because the small contact gap of the Switch
may result in contact troubles.
•In an application where a high repeat accuracy is required, limit the
current that flows through the Switch to within 0.1 A. Also, use a
relay to control a high-capacity load if the Switch is connected to
such a load. (In this case, the exciting current of the relay coil is the
load of the Switch.)
•Do not apply a force of 19.6 N or higher to the pin plunger.
•Exercise care that the environment conditions such as temperature
and humidity do not change abruptly.
Micro Load Applicable Range
Using a model for ordinary loads to open or close the contact of a
micro load circuit may result in faulty contact. Use models that
operate in the following range. However, even when using micro load
models within the operating range shown here, 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% (λ60). The equation, λ60 = 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%.
Models with Drip-proof Terminal Cover (Z-
@
A55-B5V) Wiring
•To attach the Protective Cover to the case, hold the cover in almost
parallel to the case and then push it to the case. If the cover is
pushed diagonally, the rubber packing may slip off, degrading the
sealability of the Switch.
•Use round solderless terminals having the following dimensions to
connect leads to the terminals. Tighten the screws of terminals to a
torque of 0.78 to 1.18 N·m. Use the terminal shown below.
•A cable 8.5 to 10.5 mm in diameter can be applicable to the sealing
rubber of the lead outlet of the Switch. A two-core or three-core
VCT cable having a cross-sectional area of 1.25 mm2 is especially
suitable for this.
•M4 small screws with spring toothed washer are used as the termi-
nal screws.

General-purpose Basic Switch Z171
Drip-proof Switch (Z-@55)
•The Switch is not perfectly oil-tight; so do not dip it in oil or water.
•
The rubber boots are made from weather-resistive chloroprene rubber.
•
Do not use Basic Switches in places with radical changes in temperature.
•Rubber boots and rubber caps will tend to harden at lower ambient
temperatures. If an Actuator is used in a pressed state for an
extended period of time at low temperatures, it may return slowly or
it may not return at all. OMRON can provide special Actuators for
use at low temperature with rubber boots or rubber caps made of
silicon rubber, which has superior resistance to cold. Ask your
OMRON representative for details.
Split-contact Switch (Z-10F@Y)
The applicable current varies depending on how the contacts are
used. If the Switch is connected in series, the Switch can endure a
current 1.5 to 2 times higher than the current that can be applied in
parallel connection.
Flexible Rod Switch (Z-15@NJ@55, Drip-proof)
•When the rod is fully swung, the Switch may operate when the lever
returns, causing chattering. Use a circuit that compensates for
chattering wherever possible.
•Do not switch the rod to the fullest extent when the Switch is to
break a power circuit because such a practice may cause metal
deposition to occur between the mating contacts of the Switch.
Other Precautions
•Do not apply excessive force with a screwdriver or other tool when
attaching or removing the Protective Cover. Doing so may deform
the Switch.
•The Drip-proof Terminal Protective Cover (AP-DV) can be used
only with Switches with model numbers ending in “-B5V.”
•The Drip-proof Terminal Protective Cover is only available for
maintenance purposes.
