Ultra Subminiature Basic Switch
J
Subminiature Models Capable of
Large-capacity Loads
Snap-action switch allows large-capacity switching
(7 A at 250 VAC) in spite of its small size
(8.9 12.7 5.1 mm).
Particularly suitable as control switches for
applications where there are restrictions on
installation space and weight.
Easy positioning, as the pin plunger is located in
alignment with the center line of one of the two
mounting holes.

Precautions
Refer to pages 26 to 31 for common precautions.
Correct Use
Mounting
Use two M2.3 screws with plain washers or spring washers to securely mount the Switch. Tighten the screws to a torque of 0.19 to
0.29 N S m {2 to 3 kgf S cm}.
Soldering
To solder the lead to the terminal, apply a soldering iron rated at
30 W max. quickly (within 3 seconds) with the actuator at the free
position.
Applying a soldering iron for too long a time or using one that is rated
at more than 30 W may degrade the Switch characteristics.

Certain Precautions on Specifications and Use
1. Suitability of Use. Seller shall not be responsible for conformity with any standards, codes or regulations which apply to the combination of the Good in the
Buyer's application or use of the Good. At Buyer's request, Seller will provide
applicable third party certification documents identifying ratings and limitations
of use which apply to the Good. This information by itself is not sufficient for a
complete determination of the suitability of the Good in combination with the
end product, machine, system, or other application or use. The following are
some examples of applications for which particular attention must be given.
This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all possible uses of this Good,
nor is it intended to imply that the uses listed may be suitable for this Good:
(i) Outdoor use, uses involving potential chemical contamination or electrical
interference, or conditions or uses not described in this document.
(ii) Energy control systems, combustion systems, railroad systems, aviation
systems, medical equipment, amusement machines, vehicles, safety
equipment, and installations subject to separate industry or government
regulations.
(iii) Systems, machines and equipment that could present a risk to life or
property. Please know and observe all prohibitions of use applicable to
this Good.
NEVER USE THE PRODUCT FOR AN APPLICATION INVOLVING SERIOUS
RISK TO LIFE OR PROPERTY WITHOUT ENSURING THAT THE SYSTEM
AS A WHOLE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THE RISKS, AND THAT
THE SELLER'S PRODUCT IS PROPERLY RATED AND INSTALLED FOR
THE INTENDED USE WITHIN THE OVERALL EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEM.
2. Programmable Products. Seller shall not be responsible for the user's pro
gramming of a programmable Good, or any consequence thereof.
3. Performance Data. Performance data given in this catalog is provided as a
guide for the user in determining suitability and does not constitute a warranty
It may represent the result of Seller's test conditions, and the user must corre
late it to actual application requirements. Actual performance is subject to the
Seller's Warranty and Limitations of Liability.
4. Change in Specifications. Product specifications and accessories may be
changed at any time based on improvements and other reasons. It is our prac
tice to change part numbers when published ratings or features are changed
or when significant construction changes are made. However, some specifica
tions of the Good may be changed without any notice. When in doubt, specia
part numbers may be assigned to fix or establish key specifications for you
application. Please consult with your Seller's representative at any time to con
firm actual specifications of purchased Good.
5. Errors and Omissions. The information in this catalog has been carefully
checked and is believed to be accurate; however, no responsibility is assumed
for clerical, typographical or proofreading errors, or omissions.
