1. Make sure that the polarity of the LEDs is correct. The polarity is not indicated on the Switch, but the positive pole is located on
the back surface of the Switch on the side with the OMRON mark.
2. Connect limiting resistors to the LEDs. The Switch does not have built-in limiting resistors, so satisfy the LED characteristics by
obtaining the limiting resistance according to the following formula based on the voltage to be used.
Limiting resistance (R)=
(Voltage used (E) – LED forward voltage (VF))

Safety Precautions
Note:
■
B3W-9
Refer to Safety Precautions in Tactile Switches (Cat. No. X037) for details on general safety precautions.
Precautions for Correct Use
LEDs
Switches with high-brightness green (HG) or blue (B) LEDs are
susceptible to static electricity. Be careful when handling a Switch
with these LEDs as it may cause the Switch to breakdown.
Removing the Cap
1. Hold the cap at the side away from the mating section. Pull
straight up.
2. Do not remove the cap while the Switch is mounted. Doing
so will apply force to the soldered section and LEDs, resulting in malfunction.
Correct
Incorrect
Placing the Cap on the Switch
Hold the Cap at the side away from the mating section. Push
straight down until the mating section meets.
Correct
Incorrect
Removing the Cap
The Cap can be removed up to two times. Excessively removing
the Cap will cause the mating section to become weak, resulting
the operating section not mating completely or the Cap may fall
off.
Film Dimensions
Dimensions of the film are shown below. The thickness is 0.2 mm.
