F-188 General-purpose Basic Switch Z
A cable 8.5 to 10.5 mm in diameter can be applicable to the sealing
rubber of the lead outlet of the Switch. A two-core or three-core VCT
cable having a cross-sectional area of 1.25 mm
2
is especially suit-
able for this.
Use M4 small screws with spring toothed washer are used as the ter-
minal screws.
Drip-proof Switch (Z@55)
The Switch is not perfectly oil-tight; so do not dip it in oil or water.
The rubber boots are made from weather-resistive chloroprene rub-
ber.
Do not use Basic Switches in places with radical changes in temper-
ature.
Split-contact Switch (Z-10F@Y)
The applicable current varies depending on how the contacts are
used. If the Switch is connected in series, the Switch can endure a
current 1.5 to 2 times higher than the current that can be applied in
parallel connection.
Flexible Rod Switch (Z-15@NJ@55, Drip-
proof)
When the rod is fully swung, the Switch may operate when the lever
returns, causing chattering. Use a circuit that compensates for chat-
tering wherever possible.
Do not switch the rod to the fullest extent when the Switch is to break
a power circuit because such a practice may cause metal deposition
to occur between the mating contacts of the Switch.
Micro Load Applicable Range
Using a model for ordinary loads to open or close the contact of a
micro load circuit may result in faulty contact. Use models that oper-
ate in the following range. However, even when using micro load
models within the operating range shown here, if inrush current
occurs when the contact is opened or closed, it may increase contact
wear and so decrease life expectancy. Therefore, insert a contact
protection circuit where necessary.
The minimum applicable load is the N-level reference value. This
value indicates the malfunction reference level for the reliability level
of 60% (λ 60). The equation, λ 60 = 0.5×10
−6
/operations indicates
that the estimated malfunction rate is less than 1/2,000,000 opera-
tions with a reliability level of 60%.
Others
Do not apply an excessive force to the mounting bracket with a
screwdriver or a similar object when attaching or detaching the pro-
tective cover; otherwise, the cover will be deformed.
This terminal protective cover cannot be used with models whose
model number does not have the prefix “-B5V.”
Terminal protective covers can be ordered separately for mainte-
nance use.
