TECHNICAL NOTES ON MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS
■ Actuation Force and Stroke
■ Changes in Operating Characteristics
Adequate stroke setting is the key to high reliability. It is also
important that adequate contact force be ’maintained to ensure
high reliability. For a normally closed (NC) circuit, the driving
mechanism should be set so that the actuator is normally in the
free position. For a normally open (NO) circuit, the actuator
should be pressed to 70% to 100% of the specified stroke to
absorb possible errors.
Exercise design care so that malfunctions will not occur if the
operating characteristics vary by as much as 20% from, rated
values.
<Example>
In the OF max. 0.98N specification for FS snap-action switches,
the allowable max. is 0.98 N × (100%+20%) = 1.18 N
In the RF min. 0.15 N min. specification
If the stroke is set too close to the operating point (OP), this may
cause unstable contact, and in the worst case may cause
actuator damage due to inertia of the drive mechanism. It is
advisable that the stroke be adjusted with the mounting plate or
driving mechanism.
the allowable min. 0.15 N × (100%–20%) = 0.12 N

frequency.

Technical Terminology & Cautions for Use
TECHNICAL NOTES ON ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
1) The snap-action switch is designed for AC operations.While it
has small contact gaps and no arc absorber, it may be used for
low-capacity DC operations.
Please refer to the rating of each products
2) For applications with very small switching voltage or current,
choose the low-level load type (Au contact).
beginning of use. However, as the contact surfaces develop films
with time, the film may not be broken by the switching operation,
causing a conduction failure. Therefore, please choose the Au
contact type for switching a load of 0.1 A or below.
4) Application to Electronic Circuits
• The snap-action switch contacts can sustain bounce or chatter
when closed. Bounce or chatter can cause noise or pulse count
errors when the snap action switch is used in electronic circuits.
• If contact bounce or chatter poses problems in the vicinity of
the OP and RP, use a suitable absorption network, such as a C/
R network.

5) Check the surge current, normal current and surge duration.
6) Contact resistance given in performance specifications is
measured with a voltage drop method using 6 to 8 V DC, 1 A
(except for low-level load type). Contact resistance across COM
and NC terminals is measured in the free position, while contact
resistance across COM and NO terminals is measured in the
total travel position.

Technical Terminology & Cautions for Use
MOUNTING STATE AND ENVIRONMENT
■ Checking the insulation distance
■ Soldering precautions
After mounting and wiring, check the insulation distance
between terminals and the ground. If the insulation distance is
inadequate, mount insulating material between as required.
For manual soldering, lay the terminals flat (horizontal with the
ground) and quickly perform the soldering operation using a
soldering iron with the appropriate heat capacity and the proper
amount of solder. Take care that the flux does not flow into the
switch interior by using a ventilation fan to discharge flux gas
and to prevent contact of the switch body with the soldering iron
tip.
■ Fastening the snap-action switch body
See the Section “CAUTIONS FOR USE” for the individual
switch.
Be careful not to apply force to the lead wires or the terminal
portions immediately after soldering.
■ Position adjustment with effector
1) The effector should be positioned so that direct force is not
applied to the plunger or actuator in its free position. The
operating force to the plunger should only be applied in a
perpendicular direction.
2) Note that the use of the switch as a stopper may cause an
operational problem.
The temperature setting and time conditions vary depending on
the product.
See the section “CAUTIONS FOR USE” for each product.
<Examples>
Soldering iron tip
■ Switch installation position
• Basically, the switch should be installed so that the object to
press the switch’s plunger or lever can press it down to 70 to
100% of OT of the switch. When determining the position, the
tolerance of OP (Operating Position) and other factors should be
taken into account.
Wrong
Correct
The following describes the case where the strictest tolerance
conditions are adopted.
■ Avoid using in a silicon atmosphere
• Example: Hinge lever type FS switch
Avoid using organic silicon rubber, adhesives, sealing
compounds, oil, grease, and wires in a silicon atmosphere.
Reference values: OP = 8.8 0.8mm
PT = max. 2.8mm

conditions*:

2) Environments where gasoline, thinner or other flammable,
explosive gases are present.
TTP

3) Dusty environments (for non-seal type snap action switches).
4) The perpendicular operating speed exceeds the allowable
operating speed.
5) Switching between different poles.
6) Use in environments not in the prescribed temperature or
humidity range.
(1) When the switch is not pressed
The object to press the lever should not be in contact with
the lever.
For this purpose, the object should be at a distance from
the switch father than the maximum FP (Free Position)
value.
FP max = OP max + PT max = 9.6 + 2.8 = 12.4 mm max
The object should be at a distance of 12.4 mm or more
from the mounting hole.
■ Storage precautions
To prevent discoloration due to sulfurization of the terminals
(silver- plated), store the switches in a polyethylene bag or other
suitable airtight container.
(2) Depressed position
The plunger/lever should be pressed down to 70% or
more of OT (Over Travel). Therefore, the depressed
position should be calculated based on the minimum
value of OP (Operating Position) and the 70 and 100% of
the OT value.
OP min - 70% of OT = 8.0 - 0.84 = 7.16 mm
OP min - 100% of OT = 8.0 - 1.2 = 6.80 mm
The plunger/lever should be pressed down to the position
of 6.80 to 7.16 mm from the mounting hole.

Technical Terminology & Cautions for Use
■ Usage, storage, and transport conditions
During usage, storage, or transportation, avoid locations subject
to direct sunlight and maintain normal temperature, humidity,
and pressure conditions.
■ We reserve the right to modify without notice the
materials, internal components, and other parts to improve
product quality.
The allowable specifications for environments suitable for usage,
storage, and transportation are given below.
■ Handling precautions
When handling the switches, be careful not to drop them on the
1) Temperature: The allowable temperature range differs for
each switch, so refer to the switch’s individual specifications. In
addition, when transporting or storing switches while they are
tube packaged, there are cases when the temperature may differ
from the allowable range. In this situation, be sure to consult the
individual specifications.
floor since this may damage them.
* Select contact sulfurization (clipping) prevention products (FS and Au-clad double
layer contacts) for use with extremely small loads or an environment-resistant
Turquoise switch.
■ Others
2) Humidity: 5 to 85% R.H.
3) Pressure: 86 to 106 kPa
The humidity range varies with the temperature. Use within the
range indicated in the graph below.
1) Failure modes of switches include short-circuiting, open-
circuiting and temperature rises. If this switch is to be used in
equipment where safety is a prime consideration, examine the
possible effects of these failures on the equipment concerned,
and ensure safety by providing protection circuits or protection
devices. In terms of the systems involved, make provision for
redundancy in the design and take steps to achieve safety
design.
2) The ambient operating temperature (and humidity) range
quoted is the range in which the switch can be operated on a
continuous basis: it does not mean that using the switch within
the rating guarantees the durability performance and
environment withstanding performance of the switch. For details
on the performance guarantee, check the specifications of each
product concerned.

(The allowable temperature depends on the switch.)
• Condensation will occur inside the switch if there is a sudden
change in ambient temperature when used in an atmosphere of
high temperature and high humidity. This is particularly likely to
happen when being transported by ship, so please be careful of
the atmosphere when shipping. Condensation is the
phenomenon whereby steam condenses to cause water
droplets that adhere to the switch when an atmosphere of high
temperature and humidity rapidly changes from a high to low
temperature or when the switch is quickly moved from a low
humidity location to one of high temperature and humidity.
Please be careful because condensation can cause adverse
conditions such as deterioration of insulation, coil cutoff, and
rust.
• Condensation or other moisture may freeze on the switch when
the temperatures is lower than 0°C 32°F. This causes problems
such as sticking of movable parts or operational time lags.
• The plastic becomes brittle if the switch is exposed to a low
temperature, low humidity environment for long periods of time.
• Storage for extended periods of time (including transportation
periods) at high temperatures or high humidity levels or in
atmospheres with organic gases or sulfide gases may cause a
sulfide film or oxide film to form on the surfaces of the contacts
and/or it may interfere with the functions. Check out the
atmosphere in which the units are to be stored and transported.
• In terms of the packing format used, make every effort to keep
the effects of moisture, organic gases and sulfide gases to the
absolute minimum.
