Mounting directions for switch and pushbutton
unit
1. Insert the pushbutton unit in the switch unit so that the circular
shaped claw outside the projection of the switch unit mates
with the claw on the upper part of the switch unit.
2. The pressure applied during the insertion should be 2.5kg
max.
Note:
If the LED terminal is bent , it may not align with the mating
hole. Before insertion, check to see if any LED terminal is
bent and, if so, straighten it. The inserting direction of the
LED for the pushbutton unit is opposite to that for the indica-
tor unit. Pay attention to the mounting direction of the legend
plate.
Projection
·
The tightening torque of the mounting nut should be less than
5kg--cm.
·
Solder the terminals after mounting the nut. Otherwise, the
terminals, when thickened by solder, may prevent the nut from
being screwed down onto the switch unit.

Removing the pushbutton unit
While holding the recessed portions on both sides, firmly and steadily
pull out the top of the pushbutton unit with your thumb and forefinger.
Pulling out the cap with pliers or a similar tool will damage the cap.

Nut mounting
·
Insert the switch unit from the front of the panel and tighten the
mounting nut inserted from the rear of the panel.
Wiring
·
Finish soldering within 5 seconds with a 30 watt soldering iron, or
·
Since a projection exists on the rear portion of the switch unit, if the
mounting unit cannot be fitted into position, turn the nut slightly.
within 3 seconds at a solder temperature of 240_C. To avoid
deforming the softened plastic switch unit base, do not apply any
force to the switch unit for about a minute after soldering.
·
Use a non-corrosive, resin-based soldering flux.
Hints on Correct Use
LED
·
Because no resistor is incorporated in the LED of the lighted
pushbutton switch, connect an appropriate external resistor.
·
Make sure that the resistance of the resistor is within the
permissible range determined by the LED characteristics. The
forward current of the LED must be 8mA minimum.
equation:
·
The resistance of the external resistor can be obtained by this
R=E--V
F
/I
F
(W)
where,
E: operating voltage (V)
V
F
: LED forward voltage (V)
I
F
: LED forward current (mA)
Determine the resistance of the external resistor that satisfies the
characteristics of the LED. However, the average LED forward
current must be 8mA or more.
·
Example of resistance calculation
When using a red LED where E=24V, I
F
=20mA and Ta=25_C,
from the VFvs. IF characteristics on the right, forward voltage V
F
is 1.7V, when 20mA of I
F
flows through the LED. Substituting
these values for the variables in the above equation,
R=24(V) -- 1.7(V)=1111(W)
0.02(A) (or 20mA) (or 1.1kW)
Therefore, the estimated resistance is 1kW, 1W.
