General-purpose Basic Switch Z Best-selling Basic Switch Boasting High Precision and Wide Variety • A large switching capacity of 15 A with high repeat accuracy. • A wide range of variations in contact form for your selection: basic, split-contact and maintained-contact. • A series of standard models for micro loads is available. • A series of molded terminal-type models incorporating safety terminal protective cover is available. Model Number Structure Available types Basic models General-purpose Drip-proof Without terminal protective cover With terminal protective cover Molded terminal Split-contact models General-purpose Maintained-contact models General-purpose Basic Models General-purpose • A variety of actuators is available for a wide range of application. • The contact mechanism of models for micro loads is a crossbar type with gold-alloy contacts, which ensures highly reliable operations for micro loads. • Contact Gap: H2: 0.20 mm (extra-high-sensitivity) H: 0.25 mm (high-sensitivity, micro voltage current load) G: 0.5 mm (standard) E: 1.8 mm (high-capacity) F: 1.0 mm (split-contact models) Drip-proof • These Switches use a rubber boot on the actuator and adhesive fill between the case and cover to increase resistance to drips. • Models with drip-proof terminal protective covers and molded terminals with resin filling are also available. Split-contact Models • This type is identical in construction to the general-purpose basic switch except that it has two pairs of simultaneous acting contacts by splitting moving contacts. • Since the moving contacts are connected to a common terminal, either parallel or series connection is possible. • Highly reliable micro load switching is ensured if the model is used as a twin-contact switch. Maintained-contact Models • The maintained-contact type has a reset button at the bottom of the switch case, in addition to the pushbutton (plunger) located on the opposite side of the reset button. Use these buttons alternately. • Since the Switch has greater pretravel than overtravel, it is suitable for use in reversible control circuits, manual reset circuits, safety limit circuits, and other circuits which are not preferable for automatic resetting.

Precautions for Safe Use Terminal Connection When soldering lead wires to the Switch, make sure that the capacity of the soldering iron is 60 W maximum. Do not take more than 5 s to solder any part of the Switch. The characteristics of the Switch will deteriorate if a soldering iron with a capacity of more than 60 W is applied to any part of the Switch for 5 s or more. Operation • Do not use the switch in locations subject to hot water (greater than 60°C) or in water vapor. • Do not use the switch outside the specified temperature and atmospheric conditions. The permissible ambient temperature depends on the model. (Refer to the specifications in this catalog.) Sudden thermal changes may cause thermal shock to distort the switch and result in faults. Incorrect Correct Separate the installation location from heat sources. • Make sure that the switching frequency or speed is within the specified range. 1. If the switching speed is extremely slow, the contact may not be switched smoothly, which may result in a contact failure or contact welding. 2. If the switching speed is extremely fast, switching shock may damage the Switch soon. If the switching frequency is too high, the contact may not catch up with the speed. The rated permissible switching speed and frequency indicate the switching reliability of the Switch. The life of a Switch is determined at the specified switching speed. The life varies with the switching speed and frequency even when they are within the permissible ranges. In order to determine the life of a Switch model to be applied to a particular use, it is best to conduct an appropriate durability test on some samples of the model under actual conditions. • Make sure that the actuator travel does not exceed the permissible OT position. The operating stroke must be set to 70% to 100% of the rated OT. Precautions for Correct Use Mounting Location • Do not use the switch alone in atmospheres such as flammable or explosive gases. Arcing and heat generation associated with switching may cause fires or explosions. • Switches are generally not constructed with resistance against water. Use a protective cover to prevent direct spraying if the switch is used in locations subject to splashing or spurting oil or water, dust adhering. Incorrect Terminal box Correct Terminal box • Install the switch in a location that is not directly subject to debris and dust from cutting. The actuator and the switch body must be protected from accumulated cutting debris and dirt. Incorrect Correct • Mount a cover if the switch is to be installed in a location where worker inattention could result in incorrect operation or accidents. Incorrect Correct (preventing malfunctions) • Subjecting the switch to continuous vibration or shock may result in contact failure or faulty operation due to abrasion powder and in reduced durability. Excessive vibration or shock will cause the contacts to operate malfunction or become damaged. Mount the switch in a location that is not subject to vibration or shock and in a direction that does not subject the switch to resonance. • If silver contacts are used with relatively low frequency for a long time or are used with microloads, the sulfide coating produced on the contact surface will not be broken down and contact faults will result. Use a microload switch that uses gold contacts. • Do not use the switch in atmospheres with high humidity or heat or in harmful gases, such as sulfide gas (H2S, SO2), ammonia gas (NH3), nitric acid gas (HNO3), or chlorine gas (Cl2). Doing so may impair functionality, such as with damage due to contacting faults or corrosion. • The switch includes contacts. If the switch is used in an atmosphere with silicon gas, arc energy may cause silicon oxide (SiO2) to accumulate on the contacts and result in contact failure. If there is silicon oil, silicon filling, silicon wiring, or other silicon products in the vicinity of the switch, use a contact protection circuit to limit arcing and remove the source of the silicon gas. Mounting Always make sure that the power is turned OFF before mounting, removing, or wiring the Switch, or performing maintenance. Electric shock or burning may occur. Selecting Models We recommend using Drip-proof Models (protection equivalent to IP62) in locations subject to floating dirt and dust. Other models do not have a protective structure. Wiring For wiring, use a wire size that is appropriate for the applied voltage and the supplied current. When soldering the Switch, make sure that the capacity of the soldering iron is 60 W maximum. Do not take more than 5 s to solder any part of the Switch. Using the Switch with incomplete soldering may result in errors and heat, which may cause burning. The characteristics of the Switch will deteriorate if a soldering iron with a capacity of more than 60 W is used or if any part of the Switch is soldered for 6 s or longer. General-purpose Basic Switch Z 169 Tightening Micro Load Applicable Range The suitable tightening torque for screw terminals is given below. Using a model for ordinary loads to open or close the contact of a micro load circuit may result in faulty contact. Use models that operate in the following range. However, even when using micro load models within the operating range shown here, if inrush current occurs when the contact is opened or closed, it may increase contact wear and so decrease durability. Therefore, insert a contact protection circuit where necessary. • Screw terminals on Split-contact Models (Z-10FY-B): 0.49 to 1.18 N·m Operation • Make sure that the switching speed and frequency are is within the specified ranges. 1. If the switching speed is extremely slow, the contacts may not be switched smoothly, which may result in a contact failure or contact welding. 2. If the switching speed is extremely fast, switching shock may damage the Switch prematurely. If the switching frequency is too high, the contacts may not be able to keep up with the speed. The rated permissible switching speed and frequency indicate the switching reliability of the Switch. The life of a Switch is determined at the specified switching speed. The life varies with the switching speed and frequency even when they are within the permissible ranges. Always conduct appropriate durability tests under actual conditions before using a Switch. • Make sure that the actuator travel does not exceed the permissible OT position. The operating stroke must be set to 70% to 100% of the rated OT. The minimum applicable load is the N-level reference value. This value indicates the malfunction reference level for the reliability level of 60% (λ60). The equation, λ60 = 0.5×10-6/operations indicates that the estimated malfunction rate is less than 1/2,000,000 operations with a reliability level of 60%. DC voltage (V) • Screw terminals except for those on Split-contact Models (Z-10FY-B): 0.78 to 1.18 N·m 5 mW 800 mW 0.16 mA 30 26 mA Operating range for micro load models Z-01H 12 Unusable range 5 1 mA 0 0.1 Panel Mount Switch (Z-15@Q@, Z-01@Q@) • When mounting the panel mount plunger model with screws on a side surface, be careful of the dog angle and operation speed. Excessive dog angle or operation speed may damage the Switch. • When using the panel mount plunger model mounted with screws on a side surface, be careful not to apply a large shock. Applying a shock exceeding 1,000 m/s2 may damage the Switch. • When using the panel mount plunger model mounted with screws on a side surface, remove the hexagonal nuts from the actuator. High-sensitivity Switch (Z-15H)/ Extra-high-sensitivity Switch (Z-15H2) • When using the Switch in a DC circuit, be sure to provide an arc suppressor as well because the small contact gap of the Switch may result in contact troubles. • In an application where a high repeat accuracy is required, limit the current that flows through the Switch to within 0.1 A. Also, use a relay to control a high-capacity load if the Switch is connected to such a load. (In this case, the exciting current of the relay coil is the load of the Switch.) • Do not apply a force of 19.6 N or higher to the pin plunger. • Exercise care that the environment conditions such as temperature and humidity do not change abruptly.

If the cover is pushed diagonally, the rubber packing may slip off, degrading the sealability of the Switch. Terminal with toothed washer Rubber packing • Use round solderless terminals having the following dimensions to connect leads to the terminals. Tighten the screws of terminals to a torque of 0.78 to 1.18 N·m. Use the terminal shown below. 4.3 dia. 8 20 max. • A cable 8.5 to 10.5 mm in diameter can be applicable to the sealing rubber of the lead outlet of the Switch. A two-core or three-core VCT cable having a cross-sectional area of 1.25 mm2 is especially suitable for this. • M4 small screws with spring toothed washer are used as the terminal screws. 170 General-purpose Basic Switch Z Drip-proof Switch (Z-@55) Flexible Rod Switch (Z-15@NJ@55, Drip-proof) • • • • • When the rod is fully swung, the Switch may operate when the lever returns, causing chattering. Use a circuit that compensates for chattering wherever possible. • Do not switch the rod to the fullest extent when the Switch is to break a power circuit because such a practice may cause metal deposition to occur between the mating contacts of the Switch. The Switch is not perfectly oil-tight; so do not dip it in oil or water. The rubber boots are made from weather-resistive chloroprene rubber. Do not use Basic Switches in places with radical changes in temperature. Rubber boots and rubber caps will tend to harden at lower ambient temperatures. If an Actuator is used in a pressed state for an extended period of time at low temperatures, it may return slowly or it may not return at all. OMRON can provide special Actuators for use at low temperature with rubber boots or rubber caps made of silicon rubber, which has superior resistance to cold. Ask your OMRON representative for details. Other Precautions • Do not apply excessive force with a screwdriver or other tool when attaching or removing the Protective Cover. Doing so may deform the Switch. Split-contact Switch (Z-10F@Y) The applicable current varies depending on how the contacts are used. If the Switch is connected in series, the Switch can endure a current 1.5 to 2 times higher than the current that can be applied in parallel connection. Screwdriver • The Drip-proof Terminal Protective Cover (AP-DV) can be used only with Switches with model numbers ending in “-B5V.” • The Drip-proof Terminal Protective Cover is only available for maintenance purposes. Accessories (Order Separately) Refer to “Z/A/X/DZ Common Accessories” datasheet for details about Terminal Covers, Separators, and Actuators.
