Mounting Switch on a Panel
1. Mounting Direction for the
Pushbutton and Switch
2. Removing the Pushbutton (Non-lighted Models Only)
• Insert the catches of the Pushbutton into the
grooves of the Switch and push down on the
Pushbutton until it is fixed securely to the
Switch.
• With lighted models, the LED is built into the
Switch and cannot be replaced.
• To remove the Pushbutton, hold both the
Pushbutton and the Switch on the longer
sides and pull the Pushbutton away from the
Switch.
(If the catches on the Pushbutton are bent
outwards, it may result in malfunction.)
• When replacing the Pushbutton, if the cap is held
on the sides with catches, internal components
(e.g., plate) may come loose. Be sure to hold the
Pushbutton by the sides without catches (i.e., the
longer sides of the Switch) when removing.

1. Mount Leaf Spring

3. Fit Flange with Switch
4. Removing Switch
• Press the leaf spring into the fitted
groove on the upper surface of the
Switch. For an easier fitting, first fit
one side of the leaf spring, then
press the other side into the fitting
groove.
(It will be easier mounting the leaf
spring of one side first, then mount
the other side.)
• Insert the flange from the front
surface of the panel.
• The flange has two opposing
guides to facilitate its insertion into
the panel cutout hole. Be sure the
flange does not remain tilted with
respect to the panel surface after
being installed.
• While holding the flange, insert the
opposing supports into the gaps
between the leaf spring and
Switch on the longer sides of the
housing, and fit the rectangular
hole of the flange with the
projections of the switch housing.
• Insert a small flat-bladed screwdriver
or tweezers into the flange support
exposed on the rear of the panel.
Pry up on each side to pull out the
Switch.
Note: Be sure to fit the leaf spring
exactly into the groove, and do
not allow it to slip out of the
groove.
Note: The mounting direction of the
flange determines the orientation
of the Switch.
Note: Completely remove any burrs on
the panel cutout surface;
otherwise, the flange and Switch
will not attach solidly.
Note: Do not pry up the flange support
more than necessary or the
switch holding portions may be
damaged.
