GUIDELINES FOR USAGE
Fastening of the switch body
1) To secure the switch, please use an M2.3 screw on a flat
surface and tighten using a maximum torque of 0.29 N·m.
It is recommended that both flat metal washer and spring
washers be used with the screws and adhesive be applied
to lock the screws to prevent loosening of the screws.
2) Be sure to maintain adequate insulating clearance between
each terminal and ground.
3) When the operation object is in the free position, force
should not be applied directly to the actuator or pin plunger.
Also force should be applied to the pin plunger from vertical
direction to the switch.
4) In setting the movement after operation, the over-travel
should be set more than 70% as a standard.
With the lever type, do not apply excessive force in the
direction opposite to the movement, or from the horizontal
direction.
5) After installing, attach with the lever side oriented downward
to avoid the weight of the lever.
About the connector
1) The connector on the AV6 (CS) switch is designed to fit with
the XA connector produced by JST Mfg. Co., Ltd. Do not
use any connector other than the specified connector, or
solder the terminals directly.
2) Make sure leads are arranged so that no constant force is
applied to them when the connectors are mated.
3) Keep the connector straight when inserting it. If it is inserted
at an angle, it may snag near the entrance, or it may be
inserted too forcefully.
4) Problems thought to be caused by the XA connector, which
is specified as conforming to the AV6 (CS) switch connector,
are not covered by the warranty. Please contact JST Mfg.,
Co., Ltd. and request cooperation in resolving the problem.
Selection of switch
Please make your selection so that there will be no problems
even if the operating characteristics vary up to ±20% from the
standard values.
Environment
Avoid using and storing these switches in a location where
they will be exposed to corrosive gases, silicon, or high dust
levels, all of which can have an adverse effect on the contacts.
Precautions concerning circuits
The AV6 (CS) switch is designed specifically for low-voltage,
low-current loads. Avoid using it at loads that exceed the rating
load.
Quality check under actual loading conditions
To assure reliability, check the switch under actual loading
conditions. Avoid any situation that may adversely affect
switching performance.
Please refer to
"the latest product specifications"
when designing your product.
