Application

Mounting and Replacing the Pushbutton

(1) Mounting Direction for the Pushbutton/Display and Lamp
Lighted Pushbutton Switch

Insert the Lamp (incandescent lamp or LED lamp) into the 
Pushbutton so that the lamp guide fits into the wider gap between 
the projections on the Pushbutton.

Indicator

With Indicators, the Lamp is inserted facing the opposite direction 
(i.e., at 180

°

) to that for Lighted Pushbutton Switches.

Note: Push the projections on the Lamp into the grooves on the Pushbutton/

Display.
The Lamp for Lighted Pushbutton Switches moves, but the Lamp for 
Indicators is fixed.

(2) Mounting Direction for the Pushbutton/Display and Switch

Insert the Pushbutton/Display into the Switch so that the lamp guide 
is aligned with the non-projecting part of the Switch.

Apply a pressure between 9.8 and 24.5 N.

Note: 1. The mounting direction for Indicators is 180

°

 to that for Lighted 

Pushbutton Switches. Be sure to insert the Legend Plate and other 
parts with the correct orientation.

2. If the terminals of the Lamp become bent, it may be impossible to fit 

them into the lamp terminal holes. Ensure that the terminals are 
straight when they are inserted.

3. Take particular care about the mounting direction with the round 

models (A3CT).

(3) Removing the Pushbutton/Display
Hold the recessed portions on the cap of the Pushbutton and pull.

Note: Do not use tools such as pliers to remove the Pushbutton as this may 

damage the cap.

Panel Mounting

Insert the Switch from the front of the panel. Mount the mounting 
nut from the terminal end of the Switch and tighten it.

There are projections on the terminal end of the Switch which may, 
depending on the orientation, block the nut. In this case, turn the nut 
until it is possible to mount it. Tighten the nut to a torque between 
0.20 and 0.39 N·m.

If soldering is used, mount the mounting nut first. Lead wires and 
mounds of solder may make it impossible to mount the nut after 
soldering.

Socket Mounting

After securing the Switch to the panel using the mounting nut, insert 
the Socket into the Switch.

Align the positioning holes of the Socket with the projections of the 
Switch before inserting the Socket.

Mounting the Insulation Cover

After securing the Switch to the panel using the mounting nut, pass 
the lead wires through the holes in the Insulation Cover and then 
perform wiring. Hold the Insulation Cover so that the cylindrical hole 
is facing the Switch, and insert the lead wires from the end with the 
barriers.

After wiring is completed, mount the Insulation Cover by pushing it 
into the Switch.
