1. Mounting
1) After mounting and wiring, the
insulation distance between ground and
each terminal should be confirmed as
sufficient.
2) When the operation object is in the
free position, force should not be applied
to the actuator or to the pin plunger. Also
force should be applied to the pin plunger
from vertical direction to the switch.
3) In setting the movement after
operation, the over-travel should be set
within the range of the specified O.T.
value.
4) In fastening the switch body, use the
M1.4 screw, with tightening torque of not
more than 0.098 N·m.
2. Soldering
1) Manual soldering should be
accomplished within 5 seconds with max.
320C iron.
Care should be taken not to apply force
to the terminals during soldering.
2) Terminal portion must not be moved
within 1 minute after soldering. Also no
tensile strength of lead wires should be
applied to the terminals.
3) When using the angle terminal type,
insert an insulation separator between
the switch body and the printed circuit
board (insulation separator 0.2 to 0.4mm
thick) to prevent the soldering flux from
flowing under the PC board.
3. Cleaning
As AV4 switch is not completely sealed
construction, avoid cleaning.
4. Selection of switch
When specifying AV4 switches, allow
20% to the listed operating
characteristics.
5. Avoid using and keeping switches
in the following conditions:
• In corrosive gases
• In a dusty environment
• Where silicon atmosphere prevails
6. When switching low-level circuits
(max. 100 mA), Au plated contact
types are recommended.
7. When using the lever type, avoid
applying force from the reverse and
side direction of actuating.
