Common Precautions
For the individual precautions for a Switch, refer to the precautions
in the section for that Switch.
Type of Load vs. Inrush Current
Cautions
Do not perform wiring or touch the charged parts of terminals while
power is being supplied to the Switch. Doing so may result in electric
shock.

Electrical Characteristics

Electrical Conditions
•
The switching load capacity of the Switch greatly varies between
AC and DC. Always be sure to apply the rated load. The control
capacity will drastically drop if it is a DC load. This is because a
DC load has no current zero-cross point, unlike an AC load.
Therefore, if an arc is generated, it may continue for a
comparatively long time. Furthermore, the current direction is
always the same, which results in a contact relocation
phenomena whereby the contacts easily stick to each other and
do not separate when the surfaces of the contacts are uneven.
•
Some types of load have a great difference between normal
current and inrush current. Make sure that the inrush current is
within the permissible value. The greater the inrush current in the
closed circuit is, the greater the contact abrasion or shift will be.
Consequently, contact weld, contact separation failures, or
insulation failures may result. Furthermore, the Switch may be
broken or damaged.
•
If the load is inductive, counter-electromotive voltage will be
generated. The higher the voltage is, the higher the generated
energy will be, which will increase the abrasion of the contacts
and contact relocation phenomena. Be sure to use the Switch
within the rated conditions.
Motor
(Approximately
5 to 10 times
Relay

(Approximately 4 to 5
times higher)
•
All the performance ratings given are for operation under the
following conditions unless otherwise specified.
Inductive load: A minimum power factor of 0.4 (AC) and a maximum time constant of 7 ms (DC)
Lamp load:
An inrush current 10 times higher than the
steady-state current
Motor load:
An inrush current 6 times higher than the
steady-state current
Note: Inductive loads can cause problems especially in DC circuitry. Therefore, it is essential to know the time constants
(L/R) of the load.
Load Connections
Inrush Current
Do not contact a single Switch to two power supplies that are different in polarity or type.
Connection of Different Polarities
The power supply may short-circuit if the loads are connected in the
way shown in the “incorrect” example below.

•
Approximate control capacities are given in ratings tables, but
these alone are insufficient to guarantee correct operation. For
special types of load, with unusual switching voltage or current
waveforms, test whether correct operation is possible with the
actual load before application.
•
When switching for microloads (voltage or current), use a Switch
with microload specifications. The reliability of silver-plated
contacts, which are used in Switches for standard loads, will be
insufficient for microloads.
•
When switching microloads or very high loads that are beyond
the switching capacity of the Switch, connect a relay suitable for
the load.

Even in the “correct” example, note that the insulation performance
of the switch may deteriorate and the switch life may be shortened
because loads are connected to both contacts.

Contact Protective Circuit
Apply a contact protective circuit to extend the contact life, prevent noise, and suppress the generation of carbide or nitric acid. Be sure to apply
the contact protective circuit correctly, otherwise an adverse effect may occur.
The following provides typical examples of contact protective circuits. If the Limit Switch is used in an excessively humid location for switching a
load that easily generates arcs, such as an inductive load, the arcs may generate NOx, which will change into HNO3 if it reacts with moisture.
Consequently, the internal metal parts may corrode and the Limit Switch may fail. Be sure to select the ideal contact preventive circuit from the
following.

Energy stored in the coil is changed
into current by the diode connected in
parallel to the load. Then the current
flowing to the coil is consumed and
Joule heat is generated by the
resistance of the inductive load. The

longer than that in the CR method.
The diode must withstand a peak
inverse voltage 10 times higher than
the circuit voltage and a forward
current as high or higher than the

operate.
Yes
Yes
This method makes use of
constant-voltage characteristic of the
varistor so that no high-voltage is
imposed on the contacts. This
method causes a reset time delay.
Connecting a varistor in parallel to

voltage is 24 to 48 V and in parallel to
the contacts when the supply voltage
is 100 to 200 V.

The pushbutton surface is composed of resin. Therefore, do not
attempt to operate the pushbutton using a sharp object, such as
a screwdriver or a pair of tweezers. Doing so may damage or
deform the pushbutton surface and result in faulty operation.
Switching a DC inductive load is usually more difficult than switching
a resistive load. By using an appropriate contact protective circuit,
however, switching a DC inductive load will be as easy as switching
a resistive load.

Switching
• Do not use the Switch for loads that exceed the rated switching

capacity or other contact ratings. Doing so may result in contact
weld, contact separation failures, or insulation failures.
Furthermore, the Switch may be broken or damaged.
•
Do not touch the charged switch terminals while power is
supplied, otherwise an electric shock may be received.
•
The life of the Switch varies greatly with switching conditions.
Before using the Switch, be sure to test the Switch under actual
conditions. Make sure that the number of switching operations is
within the permissible range.
If a deteriorated Switch is used continuously, insulation failures,
contact weld, contact failures, switch damage, or switch burnout
may result.
•
Do not apply excessive or incorrect voltages to the Switch or
incorrectly wire the terminals. Otherwise, the Switch may not
function properly and have an adverse effect on external
circuitry. Furthermore, the Switch itself may become damaged or
burnt.
•
Do not use the Switch in locations where flammable or explosive
gases are present. Otherwise switching arcs or heat radiation
may cause a fire or explosion.
•
Do not drop or disassemble the Switch, otherwise it may not be
capable of full performance. Furthermore, it may be broken or
burnt.
Tweezers
Mounting
•
Switches can be broadly divided into two categories according to
mounting method: panel-mounting models and PCB-mounting
models. Use the appropriate model for the mounting method
required. Basically, panel-mounting Switches can withstand a
greater operating force than PCB-mounting Switches. If,
however, the panel thickness or the panel-cutout dimensions are
not suitable for the Switch, it may not be able to withstand the
normal operating force. With continuous mounting in particular,
select a panel of a thickness that is easily sufficient to withstand
the total operating force.
•
Panel-mounting Switches can be divided into two categories
according to the mounting method: snap-in mounting models
and screw-mounting models. Snap-in mounting Switches are
held in place with the elasticity of resin or a metal leaf spring. Do
not attempt to modify the spring after mounting. Doing so may
result in faulty operation or damage the mounting structure.
Mount screw-mounting models using the screws and nuts
provided (or individually specified). Tighten the screws to the
specified torque. Mounting with different screws or nuts, or
tightening beyond the specified torque may result in distortion of
the inside of the case or damage to the screw section.
Mechanical Conditions
Operating Force and Operating Method
•
Fingertip operation is an important feature of Pushbutton
Switches. In terms of Switch operation, Pushbutton Switches
differ greatly from detection switches such as Microswitches.
Operating the Switch using a hard object (e.g., metal), or with a
large or sudden force, may deform or damage the Switch,
resulting in faulty or rough operation, or shortening of the Switch
life. The strength varies with the size and construction of the
Switch. Use the appropriate Switch for the application after
confirming the operating method and operating force with this
catalog.
Snap-in Mounting
Do not attempt to
modify the spring
after mounting.
•

Screw Mounting
Use the
screws and
nuts provided
(or specified).
Subjecting the Switch to severe vibrations or shock may result in
faulty operation or damage. Also, many of the Switches are

Mounting Precautions
Wiring
•
Perform wiring so that the lead wires will not be caught on other
objects as this will cause stress on the Switch terminals. Wire the
Switch so that there is slack in the lead wires and fix lead wires at
intermediate points. If the panel to which the Switch is mounted
needs to be opened and closed for maintenance purposes,
perform wiring so that the opening and closing of the panel will
not interfere with the wiring.
Protective tube
Soldering
•
There are two methods for soldering the Switch: hand soldering
and automatic soldering. In addition, automatic soldering itself
can be divided into two types : dip soldering and reflow soldering.
Use the soldering method appropriate for the mounting method.
The following table gives some examples of applications using the
types of soldering given above.

•
Flux is especially likely to rise up at the edges of the PCB. If the
Switch is mounted near the edge of the PCB, create a gap
between the edge by using a split PCB, and insert the PCB in the
soldering bath so that the edge that is farthest from the Switch
enters the bath first.

Storage
•
When the Switch is left unused or stored for long periods, the
ambient conditions can have a great effect on the condition of the
Switch. In certain environments, leaving the Switch exposed
may result in deterioration (i.e., oxidation, or the creation of an
oxide film) of the contacts and terminals, causing the contact
resistance to increase, and making it difficult to solder the lead
wires. Therefore, store in a well-ventilated room, inside, for
example, a non-hygroscopic case, in a location where no
corrosive gases are present.
•
If the Switch is stored in a location where it will be exposed to
direct light, colored resin in the colored plate may fade.
Therefore, do not store the Switch in locations where it will be
exposed to direct light.

Do not apply a voltage higher than the maximum rated operating voltage between the lamp terminals, as there is a risk that
the incandescent lamp or LED lamp will be damaged, and the
Pushbutton will be ejected.
When replacing the incandescent lamp, first turn OFF the
power supply, and then wait 10 minutes before performing replacement, as the lamp is still hot immediately after the power
is turned OFF, so there is a risk of burns.
Refer to the Common Precautions for Pushbutton Switches on
page 14.
Using Microloads
Using a standard load switch for opening and closing a microload
circuit may cause wear on the contacts. Use the switch within the
operating range. (Refer to the diagram below.) Even when using microload models within the operating range shown below, if inrush
current occurs when the contact is opened or closed, it may cause
the contact surface to become rough, and so decrease life expectancy. 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% (λ 60) (conforming to JIS C5003). The equation, λ 60 =
0.5 x 10–4/times indicates that the estimated malfunction rate is less
than 1/2,000,000 with a reliability level of 60%.

Correct Use
Mounting
To prevent electric shock or a fire, always make sure that the power
is turned OFF before mounting, removing, or wiring the Switch, or
performing maintenance.
Do not tighten the mounting ring excessively using pliers or a similar
tool. Excessive tightening may damage the mounting ring. (Tightening torque: 0.20 to 0.39 N⋅m)
Wiring
When wiring, use wires of a size appropriate for the applied voltage
and carry current. Perform soldering correctly under the conditions
given below. Using the Switch with the wires soldered incorrectly
may cause the terminals to become abnormally hot and cause a fire.
1. Hand soldering: At 30 W within 5 seconds.
2. Dip soldering: At 240°C within 3 seconds.
Wait for one minute after soldering before exerting any external
force on the solder.
Use a non-corrosive rosin liquid for the flux.
Perform wiring so that the wire sheaths do not come into contact
with the Switch. If this is unavoidable, use wires that can withstand
temperatures of 100°C min.
After wiring to the Switch has been completed, ensure an appropriate insulation distance.
Operating Environment
Do not use in locations that are subject to dust, oil, or metal filings as
these may penetrate the interior of the Switch and cause malfunction.
