technical information technical information 14 common precautions for the individual precautions for a switch, refer to the precautions in the section for that switch. cautions do not perform wiring or touch the charged parts of terminals while power is being supplied to the switch. doing so may result in electric shock. electrical characteristics electrical conditions ? the switching load capacity of the switch greatly varies between ac and dc. always be sure to apply the rated load. the control capacity will drastically drop if it is a dc load. this is because a dc load has no current zero-cross point, unlike an ac load. therefore, if an arc is generated, it may continue for a comparatively long time. furthermore, the current direction is always the same, which results in a contact relocation phenomena whereby the contacts easily stick to each other and do not separate when the surfaces of the contacts are uneven. ? some types of load have a great difference between normal current and inrush current. make sure that the inrush current is within the permissible value. the greater the inrush current in the closed circuit is, the greater the contact abrasion or shift will be. consequently, contact weld, contact separation failures, or insulation failures may result. furthermore, the switch may be broken or damaged. ? if the load is inductive, counter-electromotive voltage will be generated. the higher the voltage is, the higher the generated energy will be, which will increase the abrasion of the contacts and contact relocation phenomena. be sure to use the switch within the rated conditions. inrush current i (inrush current) o (steady- state current) ? approximate control capacities are given in ratings tables, but these alone are insufficient to guarantee correct operation. for special types of load, with unusual switching voltage or current waveforms, test whether correct operation is possible with the actual load before application. ? when switching for microloads (voltage or current), use a switch with microload specifications. the reliability of silver-plated contacts, which are used in switches for standard loads, will be insufficient for microloads. ? when switching microloads or very high loads that are beyond the switching capacity of the switch, connect a relay suitable for the load. type of load vs. inrush current solenoid (approximately 10 to 20 times higher) incandescent lamp (approximately 10 to 15 times higher) motor (approximately 5 to 10 times higher) relay (approxi- mately 4 to 5 times higher) ? all the performance ratings given are for operation under the following conditions unless otherwise specified. inductive load: a minimum power factor of 0.4 (ac) and a maxi- mum time constant of 7 ms (dc) lamp load: an inrush current 10 times higher than the steady-state current motor load: an inrush current 6 times higher than the steady-state current note: inductive loads can cause problems especially in dc cir- cuitry. therefore, it is essential to know the time constants (l/r) of the load. load connections do not contact a single switch to two power supplies that are differ- ent in polarity or type. connection of different polarities the power supply may short-circuit if the loads are connected in the way shown in the ?incorrect? example below. incorrect correct load load load load even in the ?correct? example, note that the insulation performance of the switch may deteriorate and the switch life may be shortened because loads are connected to both contacts.
technical information technical information 15 connection of different power supplies the dc and ac power may be mixed for the circuit shown below. incorrect load load do not design a circu it where voltage is imposed between contacts, otherwise contact weld may result. incorrect load contact protective circuit apply a contact protective circuit to extend the contact life, prevent noise, and suppress the generation of carbide or nitric acid. be sure to apply the contact protective circuit correctly, otherwise an adverse effect may occur. the following provides typical examples of contact protective circuits. if the limit switch is used in an excessively humid loc ation for switching a load that easily generates arcs, such as an inductive load, the arcs may generate nox, which will change into hno 3 if it reacts with moisture. consequently, the internal metal parts may corrode and the limit switch may fail. be sure to select the ideal contact preventive circuit from the following. typical examples of contact protective circuits circuit example applicable current feature element selection ac dc cr circuit power supply inductive load * yes *when ac is switched, the load impedance must be lower than the cr impedance. c: 1 to 0.5 f x switching current (a) r: 0.5 to 1 ? x switching voltage (v) the values may change according to the characteristics of the load. the capacitor suppresses the spark discharge of current when the contacts are open. the resistor limits the inrush current when the contacts power supply inductive load yes yes the operating time will be greater if the load is a relay or solenoid. connecting the cr circuit in parallel to the load is effective when the power supply voltage is 24 or 48 v and in parallel to the contacts when the power supply voltage is 100 to 200 v. the inrush current when the contacts are closed again. consider the roles of the capacitor and resistor and determine ideal capacitance and resistance values through testing. basically, use a capacitor with a dielectric strength between 200 and 300 v. when ac is switched, make sure that the capacitor has no polarity. diode method power supply inductive load no yes energy stored in the coil is changed into current by the diode connected in parallel to the load. then the current flowing to the coil is consumed and joule heat is generated by the resistance of the inductive load. the reset time delay with this method is longer than that in the cr method. the diode must withstand a peak inverse voltage 10 times higher than the circuit voltage and a forward current as high or higher than the load current. diode and zener diode method power supply inductive load no yes this method will be effective if the reset time delay caused by the diode method is too long. use a zener diode with a zener voltage that is approximately 1.2 power supply voltage as, depending on the environment, the load may not operate. varistor method power supply inductive load yes yes this method makes use of constant-voltage characteristic of the varistor so that no high-voltage is imposed on the contacts. this method causes a reset time delay. connecting a varistor in parallel to the load is effective when the supply voltage is 24 to 48 v and in parallel to the contacts when the supply voltage is 100 to 200 v. ---
technical information technical information 16 do not apply contact protective circuits as shown below. this circuit effectively suppresses arcs when the contacts are off. the capacitor will be charged, however, when the contacts are off. consequently, when the contacts are on again, short-circuited current from the capacitance may cause contact weld. this circuit effectively suppresses arcs when the contacts are off. when the contacts are on again, however, charge current will flow to the capacitor, which may result in contact weld. power supply load incorrect incorrect incorrect power supply load switching a dc inductive load is usually more dif ficult than switching a resistive load. by using an appropriate contact protective circuit, however, switching a dc inductive load will be as easy as switching a resistive load. switching ? do not use the switch for loads that exceed the rated switching capacity or other contact ratings. doing so may result in contact weld, contact separation failures, or insulation failures. furthermore, the switch may be broken or damaged. ? do not touch the charged switch terminals while power is supplied, otherwise an electric shock may be received. ? the life of the switch varies greatly with switching conditions. before using the switch, be sure to test the switch under actual conditions. make sure that the number of switching operations is within the permissible range. if a deteriorated switch is used continuously, insulation failures, contact weld, contact failures, switch damage, or switch burnout may result. ? do not apply excessive or incorrect voltages to the switch or incorrectly wire the terminals. otherwise, the switch may not function properly and have an adverse effect on external circuitry. furthermore, the switch itself may become damaged or burnt. ? do not use the switch in locations where flammable or explosive gases are present. otherwise switching arcs or heat radiation may cause a fire or explosion. ? do not drop or disassemble the switch, otherwise it may not be capable of full performance. furthermore, it may be broken or burnt. mechanical conditions operating force and operating method ? fingertip operation is an important feature of pushbutton switches. in terms of switch operation, pushbutton switches differ greatly from detection switches such as microswitches. operating the switch using a hard object (e.g., metal), or with a large or sudden force, may deform or damage the switch, resulting in faulty or rough operation, or shortening of the switch life. the strength varies with the size and construction of the switch. use the appropriate switch for the application after confirming the operating method and operating force with this catalog. hammer do not apply excessive or sudden force. incorrect ? the pushbutton surface is composed of resin. therefore, do not attempt to operate the pushbutton using a sharp object, such as a screwdriver or a pair of tweezers. doing so may damage or deform the pushbutton surface and result in faulty operation. do not use sharp objects. screwdriver tweezers incorrect mounting ? switches can be broadly divided into two categories according to mounting method: panel-mounting models and pcb-mounting models. use the appropriate model for the mounting method required. basically, panel-mounting switches can withstand a greater operating force than pcb-mounting switches. if, however, the panel thickness or the panel-cutout dimensions are not suitable for the switch, it may not be able to withstand the normal operating force. with continuous mounting in particular, select a panel of a thickness that is easily suf ficient to withstand the total operating force. ? panel-mounting switches can be divided into two categories according to the mounting method: snap-in mounting models and screw-mounting models. snap-in mounting switches are held in place with the elasticity of resin or a metal leaf spring. do not attempt to modify the spring after mounting. doing so may result in faulty operation or damage the mounting structure. mount screw-mounting models using the screws and nuts provided (or individually specified). tighten the screws to the specified torque. mounting with different screws or nuts, or tightening beyond the specified torque may result in distortion of the inside of the case or damage to the screw section. snap-in mounting screw mounting do not attempt to modify the spring after mounting. use the screws and nuts provided (or specified). ? subjecting the switch to severe vibrations or shock may result in faulty operation or damage. also, many of the switches are
technical information technical information 17 composed of resin so contact with sharp objects may result in damage to the surface. this kind of damage may spoil the appearance of the switch or result in faulty operation. do not throw or drop the switch. do not drop ob- jects or place heavy objects on the switch. do not drop or knock the switch. do not operate the switch with heavy or sharp objects. hammer screwdriver incorrect incorrect incorrect mounting precautions wiring ? perform wi ring so that the lead wires will not be caught on other objects as this will cause stress on the switch terminals. wire the switch so that there is slack in the lead wires and fix lead wires at intermediate points. if the panel to which the switch is mounted needs to be opened and closed for maintenance purposes, perform wiring so that the opening and closing of the panel will not interfere with the wiring. incorrect correct ? with miniature switches, the gap between the terminals is very narrow. use protective or heat-absorbing tubes to prevent burning of the wire sheath or shorting. protective tube incorrect correct soldering ? there are two methods for soldering the switch: hand soldering and automatic soldering. in addition, automatic soldering itself can be divided into two types : dip soldering and reflow soldering. use the soldering method appropriate for the mounting method. the following table gives some examples of applications using the types of soldering given above.

technical information technical information 19 ? when performing soldering with a dip soldering bath, ensure that the flux does not reach a higher level than the pcb. incorrect correct ? flux is especially likely to rise up at the edges of the pcb. if the switch is mounted near the edge of the pcb, create a gap between the edge by using a split pcb, and insert the pcb in the soldering bath so that the edge that is farthest from the switch enters the bath first. create distance create gap split pcb flux is more likely to rise at the edges. insert in soldering bath from this edge. storage ? when the switch is left unused or stored for long periods, the ambient conditions can have a great effect on the condition of the switch. in certain environments, leaving the switch exposed may result in deterioration (i.e., oxidation, or the creation of an oxide film) of the contacts and terminals, causing the contact resistance to increase, and making it difficult to solder the lead wires. therefore, store in a well-ventilated room, inside, for example, a non-hygroscopic case, in a location where no corrosive gases are present. ? if the switch is stored in a location where it will be exposed to direct light, colored resin in the colored plate may fade. therefore, do not store the switch in locations where it will be exposed to direct light.
a3c a3c 46 precautions caution do not apply a voltage higher than the maximum rated operat- ing voltage between the lamp terminals, as there is a risk that the incandescent lamp or led lamp will be damaged, and the pushbutton will be ejected. when replacing the incandescent lamp, first turn off the power supply, and then wait 10 minutes before performing re- placement, as the lamp is still hot immediately after the power is turned off, so there is a risk of burns. refer to the common precautions for pushbutton switches on page 14. correct use mounting to prevent electric shock or a fire, always make sure that the power is turned off before mounting, removing, or wiring the switch, or performing maintenance. do not tighten the mounting ring excessively using pliers or a similar tool. excessive tightening may damage the mounting ring. (t ighten- ing torque: 0.20 to 0.39 n ? m) wiring when wiring, use wires of a size appropriate for the applied voltage and carry current. perform soldering correctly under the conditions given below. using the switch with the wires soldered incorrectly may cause the terminals to become abnormally hot and cause a fire. 1. hand soldering: at 30 w within 5 seconds. 2. dip soldering: at 240 c within 3 seconds. wait for one minute after soldering before exerting any external force on the solder. use a non-corrosive rosin liquid for the flux. perform wiring so that the wire sheaths do not come into contact with the switch. if this is unavoidable, use wires that can withstand temperatures of 100 c min. after wiring to the switch has been completed, ensure an appropri- ate insulation distance. operating environment do not use in locations that are subject to dust, oil, or metal filings as these may penetrate the interior of the switch and cause malfunc- tion. using microloads using a standard load switch for opening and closing a microload circuit may cause wear on the contacts. use the switch within the operating range. (refer to the diagram below.) even when using mi- croload models within the operating range shown below, if inrush current occurs when the contact is opened or closed, it may cause the contact surface to become rough, and so decrease life expec- tancy. therefore, insert a contact protection circuit where neces- sary. the minimum applicable load is the n-level reference value. this value indicates the malfunction reference level for the reliability level of 60% ( 60) (conforming to jis c5003). the equation, 60 = 0.5 x 10 ?4 /times indicates that the estimated malfunction rate is less than 1/2,000,000 with a reliability level of 60%. standard load area microload area invalid area voltage (v) current (ma) 0.15 ma 26 ma 100 ma 150 ma 100 ma 1 ma 30 24 12 5 0 led resistance to limit the led current is provided internally and so an external resistance is not required. rated voltage internal limiting resistance 5 vdc 33 ? 12 vdc 270 ? 24 vdc 1600 ? all dimensions shown are in millimeters. to convert millimeters into inches, multiply by 0.03937. to convert grams into ounces, multiply by 0.03527. cat. no. a030-e1-05 !
