Precautions
■ Correct Use
■ Cautions
Mounting Direction
Handling
For a switch with an actuator, mount the switch in a direction where
the actuator weight will not be applied to the switch.
Be careful not to drop the switch. Doing so may cause damage to the
switch’s internal components because it is designed for a small load.
Since the switch is designed for a small load, its resetting force is
small. Therefore, resetting failure may occur if unnecessary load is
applied to the switch.
Solder Terminal Connection
Operation
Keep the operation control completely separate from the actuator of
the switch, and push it down fully when starting operation. Do not displace the operating position of the actuator when machining.
Consult OMRON in advance if the operating speed is to be extremely
slow, or if the pushbutton is to be set somewhere between the free
position and operating position.
Mount pin pushbutton switches so that stroke of the pushbutton and
the stroke of the operating control overlap on a vertical line. The
stroke of the switch, after operation, should be set to 60- 90% that of
standard OT (MIN operation).
Quickly finish the soldering of the lead wire to its terminal. Use a soldering iron rated at 60W and preferably complete the soldering within
5 seconds.
Excess wattage or prolonged heating can deteriorate the characteristics of the switch.
Insulation Distance
When mounting, make sure there is sufficient insulation distance
between the switch and its mounting panel. If it is insufficient, install
an insulation guard or separator. Always install an insulation guard or
separator when mounting the microswitch on a metallic body. Contact your OMRON representative for information about insulation
guards and separators.
Application Environment
Using a model for ordinary loads to switch microloads may result in
faulty operation. Instead, use the models that are designed for microloads and that operate in the following range;
Do not use the Switch in locations that are subject to toxic gas, silicon, excessive dust, excessive dirt, high temperatures, high humidity,
sudden temperature changes, water splashes, or oil splashes.
Otherwise, damage resulting by faulty contact of the Switch contacts,
corrosion, or other causes, or other functional faults may occur.
Voltage (V)
Using Microloads
30
Depending on environmental conditions, the switch should be
rechecked about 3 to 6 months after it has been assembled.

However, even when using microload models within the operating
range shown above, if inrush current or inductive voltage spikes
occur when the contact is opened or closed, it may increase contact
wear and so decrease the service life. Therefore, insert a contact
protection circuit where necessary.

Terms.
3. Distributor: Any distributor shall inform its customer of the contents after and including
section III of these Terms.
II. SALES
1. Prices; Payment: All prices stated are current, subject to change without notice by Seller.
Buyer agrees to pay the price in effect at the time the purchase order is accepted by
Seller. Payments for Products received are due net 30 days unless otherwise stated in
the invoice. Buyer shall have no right to set off any amounts against the amount owing in
respect of this invoice.
2. Discounts: Cash discounts, if any, will apply only on the net amount of invoices sent to
Buyer after deducting transportation charges, taxes and duties, and will be allowed only
if (a) the invoice is paid according to Seller's payment terms and (b) Buyer has no past
due amounts owing to Seller.
3. Interest: Seller, at its option, may charge Buyer 1.5% interest per month or the maximum
legal rate, whichever is less, on any balance not paid within the stated terms.
4. Orders: Seller will accept no order less than 200 U.S. dollars net billing.
5. Currencies: If the prices quoted herein are in a currency other than U.S. dollars, Buyer
shall make remittance to Seller at the then current exchange rate most favorable to
Seller; provided that if remittance is not made when due, Buyer will convert the amount
to U.S. dollars at the then current exchange rate most favorable to Seller available
during the period between the due date and the date remittance is actually made.
6. Governmental Approvals: Buyer shall be responsible for all costs involved in obtaining
any government approvals regarding the importation or sale of the Products.
7. Taxes: All taxes, duties and other governmental charges (other than general real
property and income taxes), including any interest or penalties thereon, imposed directly
or indirectly on Seller or required to be collected directly or indirectly by Seller for the
manufacture, production, sale, delivery, importation, consumption or use of the Products
sold hereunder (including customs duties and sales, excise, use, turnover and license
taxes) shall be charged to and remitted by Buyer to Seller.
8. Financial: If the financial position of Buyer at any time becomes unsatisfactory to Seller,
Seller reserves the right to stop shipments or require satisfactory security or payment in
advance. If Buyer fails to make payment or otherwise comply with these Terms or any
related agreement, Seller may (without liability and in addition to other remedies) cancel
any unshipped portion of Products sold hereunder and stop any Products in transit until
Buyer pays all amounts, including amounts payable hereunder, whether or not then due,
which are owing to it by Buyer. Buyer shall in any event remain liable for all unpaid
accounts.
9. Cancellation; Etc: Orders are not subject to rescheduling or cancellation unless Buyer

Certain Precautions on Specifications and Use
1. Suitability for Use. Seller shall not be responsible for conformity with any standards, codes or regulations which apply to the combination of the Product in
Buyer's application or use of the Product. At Buyer's request, Seller will provide applicable third party certification documents identifying ratings and limitations of use which apply to the Product. This information by itself is not
sufficient for a complete determination of the suitability of the Product in combination with the end product, machine, system, or other application or use.
Buyer shall be solely responsible for determining appropriateness of the particular Product with respect to Buyer's application, product or system. Buyer
shall take application responsibility in all cases but the following is a nonexhaustive list of applications for which particular attention must be given:
(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) Use in consumer products or any use in significant quantities.
(iv) Systems, machines and equipment that could present a risk to life or
property. Please know and observe all prohibitions of use applicable to this
product.

RISK TO LIFE OR PROPERTY WITHOUT ENSURING THAT THE SYSTEM
AS A WHOLE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THE RISKS, AND THAT

INTENDED USE WITHIN THE OVERALL EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEM.
2. Programmable Products. Seller shall not be responsible for the user's programming of a programmable product, or any consequence thereof.

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 practice to change part numbers when published ratings or features are changed,
or when significant construction changes are made. However, some specifications of the Product may be changed without any notice. When in doubt, special part numbers may be assigned to fix or establish key specifications for
your application. Please consult with your Seller representative at any time to
confirm actual specifications of purchased Product.
5. Errors and Omissions. The information in this publication has been carefully
checked and is believed to be accurate; however, no responsibility is assumed
