Single-pole, single-throw (SPST) type, having normally open contacts, and containing two magnetically actuated reeds. The switch is of the double-ended type and may be actuated by an electromagnet, a permanent magnet or a combination of both. The device is intended for use in relays, sensors, pulse counters or similar devices.

MECHANICAL DATA Contact arrangement is normally open; lead finish is tinned; net mass is approximately 0.28 g; and can be mounted in any position. S HOCK The switches are tested in accordance with “IEC 68-2-27”, test Ea (peak acceleration 500 G, half sinewave; duration 11 ms). Such a shock will not cause an open switch (no magnetic field present) to close, nor a switch kept closed by an 80 AT coil to open. V IBRA TION IBRATION The switches are tested in accordance with “IEC 68-2-6”, test Fc (acceleration 10 G; below cross-over frequency 57 to 62 Hz; amplitude 0.75 mm; frequency range 10 to 2000 Hz, duration 90 minutes). Such a vibration will not cause an open switch (no magnetic field present) to close, nor a switch kept closed by an 80 AT coil to open. O PERA TING AND ST ORA GE T EMPERA TURE PERATING ORAGE EMPERATURE Operating ambient temperature; min: -55°C; max: +125°C. Storage temperature; min: -55°C; max: +125°C. Note: Temperature excursions up to 150°C may be permissible. For more information contact your nearest Coto Technology sales office. S OLDERING The switch can withstand soldering heat in accordance with “IEC 68-2-20”, test Tb, method 1B: solder bath at 350 ±10°C for 3.5 ±0.5 s. Solderability is tested in accordance with “IEC 68-2-20”, test Ta, method 3: solder globule temperature 235°C; ageing 1b: 4 hours steam. W ELDING The leads can be welded. MOUNTING The leads should not be bent closer than 1 mm to the glassto-metal seals. Stress on the seals should be avoided. Care must be taken to prevent stray magnetic fields from influencing the operating and measuring conditions. MECHANICAL STRENGTH The robustness of the terminations is tested in accordance with “IEC 68-2-21”, test Ua1 (load 40 N).
