Specifications

■ Characteristics

Note: 1. Data shown are of initial value.

2. The dielectric strength shown is measured using a separator between the switch and metal mounting plate.

3. For the pin plunger models, the above values apply for use at the free position and total travel position. For lever models, they apply at

the total travel position. Contact separation time is within 1 ms.

Note: 1. Inductive load has a power factor of 0.4 min. (AC) and a time constant of 7 milliseconds max. (DC).

2. Lamp load has an inrush current of 10 times the steady-state current

3. The electrical rating applies under the following test conditions:

Ambient Temperature = 20

±2°C, Ambient Humidity = 65±5%, Operating frequency = 30 operations/minute
