Safety Precautions
Refer to Safety Precautions for All Pushbutton Switches/Indicators.
Precautions for Correct Use
Mounting
LED Lamp
• Always make sure that the power is turned OFF before mounting,
removing, or wiring the Switch, or performing maintenance. Electric
shock or fire may occur.
• A current-limiting resistor for the LED lamp is built in, so no external
resistor is required.
Rated voltage
5 VDC
12 VDC
24 VDC
Wiring
• For wiring, use a wire size that is appropriate for the applied voltage
and the supplied current. Be sure to perform soldering according to
the following conditions. Using the Switch with incomplete soldering
may result in errors and heat, which may cause fire.
(1) Manual soldering: Use a soldering iron with a tip temperature of
350°C maximum and complete soldering within 3 seconds.
(2) Dip soldering: Solder at 350°C for 3 s or less.
Wait for one minute after soldering before exerting any external
force on the solder.
• Use non-corrosive liquid rosin as the flux.
• If screw-tightened terminals are used, hold the Socket Unit Set or
Socket Unit and install the lead wiring applying a torque of less than
0.98 N·m to the Socket Unit. Applying a torque of more than 0.98
N·m may result in damage. The tightening torque is 0.59 to 0.78
N·m.
• Make sure that the insulating sheath of the wires does not come in
contact with the Unit. If wiring is performed with the insulating
sheath of the wires coming in contact with the Unit, use wire with a
minimum heat resistance of 100°C.
• After wiring the Switch, make sure that there is a suitable isolation
distance.
Operating Environment
Built-in limiting resistance
39 Ω
270 Ω
1300 Ω
Incandescent Lamp
• It is advantageous in terms of service life and heat generation to
apply 80% of the rated voltage (operating voltage) to the
incandescent lamp.
Operation
• Always mount the Operation Unit before operating the Switch.
(Using your fingers or tweezers to operate moving parts of the
Switch may deform internal parts and cause malfunctions.)
Character Film
• If the character film is to be specially prepared, use heat-resistant
film with a maximum thickness of 0.2 mm.
11.3 ±0.2
A3SJ
A3SA
18.2 ±0.2
11.3 ±0.2
11.3 ±0.2
Others
• If the panel is to be finished (e.g., coated), make sure that the panel
meets the specified dimensions after the coating.
• Do not use in locations that are subject to dust, oil, or metal fillings,
because these may penetrate the interior the Switch and cause
malfunction.
Using Microloads
Voltage (V)
• Using a standard load switch when a microload circuit is opened or
closed 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 contacts are 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 10−6/time indicates that the estimated
malfunction rate is less than 1/2,000,000 with a reliability level of
60%.

Replacing Incandescent and LED Lamps and Panel Mounting
Removing the Display
• Grasp the groove on the color cap surface, and pull it firmly toward
you to remove the Display.
• An Extractor (A3PJ-5080) is available to conveniently remove the
Display.
Barrier Mounting
• Place the Edge Barrier on the side of the Socket Unit, and then
insert it into the panel.
• Insert the Intermediate Barrier between the Switches after inserting
the Socket Units into the panel.

Inscribing Legend Plate Characters
Inscribing

• Inscription depth: 0.5 mm max.
• The legend plate is made of polycarbonate, so apply an alcoholbased paint coating, such as melamine, phthalate, or acrylic resin
paint when marking the legend.
Inserting the Display into the Socket Unit
Insert the Operation Unit in the proper direction. With the OMRON
logo downward, insert the Operation Unit so that the lamp/LED
