■ Soldering conditions
• The application of excessive heat upon the switch when
soldering can cause degradation of switch operation. Therefore,
be sure to keep within the conditions given below.
• Manual soldering: Use soldering irons (max. 350°C, within 3
seconds) capable of temperature adjustment. This is to prevent
deterioration due to soldering heat. Care should be taken not
to apply force to the terminals during soldering. (More than one
second interval is
required to apply heat at each terminal.) Please consult us if
you intend to use a soldering iron that exceeds 60 W.
■ Mounting
• <Important>To prevent deterioration of contact reliability due
to the deformation of the fork terminal, the fork terminal switch
should be mounted by using the special tooling to keep the
switch in the vertical state to the actual equipment and insert
the terminal while supporting the terminal part with the tooling
(Please see the below).
• <Important> Be sure to apply a sealing material to the terminal
part, x the switch completely and seal the terminal part to
prevent deterioration of contact reliability in the connected
part by the fork terminal of the switch and the terminal of the
actual equipment due to vibration, impact, humidity and gas.
(An unsealed switch should not be used.) Additionally, it is
necessary to select a sealing material which does not cause
sulfuration, oxidation or generation of low molecular siloxane
gas because there is a risk that contact failure occurs due to
sealing materials. For the selection of a sealing material, the
sucient verication by using the actual equipment should be
implemented in advance.
•<Important>The contact reliability at terminal connecting
portion may highly deteriorate because of using unmatched
material or size accuracy of connected side terminals or
inadequate switch insertion method. Please make sure to
consult us if you consider using fork terminal type.
• To secure the wire leads type switch, please use M3 small
screws on a at surface and tighten using a maximum torque of
0.29 N·m. Be sure to verify the quality under actual conditions
of use because the switch plastic might be deformed according
to that the kind of the screw (size of screw head etc.), the
diameter of the washer and the presence of washer. And use
of adhesive lock is recommended to prevent loosening of the
screws. When using an adhesive, care should be taken not to
invade the adhesive into the switches.
• Be sure to maintain adequate insulating clearance between
each terminal and ground.
• The positioning of the switch should be such that direct force
is not applied to the plunger or actuator in its free position.
The operating force to the plunger should only be applied in a
perpendicular direction.
• When slanted press operation is applied to pin plunger type
switches by an operation cam, the endurance life may greatly
vary depending on the use of grease for sliding, operation
angle, operation speed, operation frequency, press amount
of the pin plunger, cam material, cam shape, cam surface
condition, etc. Therefore fully verication by using the actual
equipment in advance should be implemented.
• After mounting please make sure no pulling load will be
applied to the switch terminals.
■ Cautions regarding the circuit
• In order to prevent malfunction in set devices caused by
bounce and chattering during the ON-OFF switch operation,
please verify the validity of the circuit under actual operating
conditions and temperature range.
• When switching inductive loads (relays, solenoids, buzzers,
etc.), it is recommended that contact protection element such
as diode, varistor, etc., is introduced to prevent contact failure
caused by electric discharge.
■ Please verify under actual conditions.
• Please be sure to conduct quality verication under actual
operating conditions in order to increase reliability during actual
use.
■ 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.
■ Oil-proof and chemical-proof characteristics
• Do not use alcohol-based solvents.
• The rubber cap swells when exposed to oil and chemicals.
The extent of swelling will vary widely depending on the type
and amount of oil and chemicals. Check with the actual oil or
chemicals used. In particular, be aware that solvents such as
freon, chlorine, toluene, alcohol etc., cannot be used.
■ Operation environment
• Although continuous operation of the switch is possible within
the range of ambient temperature (humidity), as the humidity
range diers depending on the ambient temperature, the
humidity range indicated below should be used. Continuous
use near the limit of the range should be avoided. This
temperature-humidity range does not guarantee permanent
performance.
■ Others
• Do not handle the switch in a way that may cause damage to
the sealing rubber cap.
• Please remember that this switch cannot be used under
water. Also, pleased be warned that switching and sudden
temperature changes with the presence of water droplets can
cause seepage into the unit.
• Keep away from environments where silicon based
adhesives, oil or grease are present as faulty contacts may

result from silicon oxide. Do not use in areas where ammable
or explosive gases from gasoline and thinner, etc., may be
present.
• When using the lever type, please be careful not to apply
unreasonable load from the reverse or lateral directions of
operation.
• Do not exceed the total travel position (TTP) and press
the actuator. This could cause operation failure. Also, when
switching at high speed or under shock even within the
operation limit, the working life may decrease. Therefore,
please be sure to verify the quality under actual conditions of
use.
• If the switch is used while the plunger is pressed all the time,
the performance of switching release may largely deteriorate
due to surrounding temperature and humidity, adherence of oils
such as oil, grease, etc., solvents and chemicals. Please be
sure to verify the quality under the actual use conditions
• Please make considerations so that the switch does not
become the stopper for the moving part.
• Do not use the switch which was dropped by mistakes when
handling. If it is used, abnormal operation characteristics and
sealing performance may occur.
• In case of applying coating to movable parts (actuator,
plunger, etc.), the quality of the product is not guaranteed
because it may cause a product failure.
• In case of cleaning a switch, the quality of the product is not
guaranteed because it may cause a product failure.
• Do not apply ultrasonic vibrations and high frequency
vibration to a switch because it may have an impact on the
characteristics of the switch.
• Please do not constantly apply a tensile load to wire leads
when xing them.

CAUTIONS FOR USE (Common for BJ, BS and BV types)
Notes for Turquoise Switches (BJ, BS, BV type)
■Fastening of the switch body
1) Fasten the switch body onto a smooth surface using the
correct screw as shown in the chart below and tighten it with the
prescribed torque.
The switch case may deform depending on the type of screw
(screw head diameter, etc.), the size of the washer, and the use
or non-use of a washer. Therefore, please confirm the
appropriate torque of actual conditions. Also, it is recommended
that adhesive be applied to lock the screws to prevent loosening
of the screws. When doing so, please be careful not let any
adhesive get inside the switch.
2) Fixed pin type
To secure the switch unit, thermally crimp or press-fit the
mounting pins. If the pins are to be press-fitted, install a guide on
the opposite surface to the mounting pins to prevent them from
slipping out of position and developing play.
3) Be sure to maintain adequate insulating clearance between
each terminal and ground.
4) The positioning of the switch should be such that direct force
is not applied to the pushbutton or actuator in its free position.
The operating force to the pushbutton should only be applied in
a perpendicular direction.
5) The standard value of overtravel used should be within the
range of 70% to 100% of the rated OT value.
6) When soldering the BV type turquoise switch or the
immersion protected type of the BJ and BS type switches, the
sealing material sometimes forms a lump or bulge at the base of
the terminal or lead. Be sure to allow enough space for this
when attaching the switch.
■Soldering operations
1) Manual soldering: Perform soldering in less than 3 seconds
with maximum 350°C iron. Care should be taken not to apply
force to the terminals during soldering. We recommend a
soldering iron with temperature adjustment in order to prevent
poor quality soldering.
Please consult us if you intend to use a soldering iron of 60 W or
higher.
2) Terminal portions should not be moved within 1 minute after
soldering.
■Selection of the switch
Allow for up to ±20% variation of the specified characteristics
values to compensate for long term operational wear of the
switch in your design.
■Cautions regarding use
1) When switching inductive loads (relays, solenoids, buzzers,
etc.), an arc absorbing circuit is recommended to protect the
contacts.
2) If switching of the contact is synchronized with the phase of
the AC power, reduced electrical life or welded contact may
occur. Therefore, test the switch while it is operating under actual
loads for this condition. If found, you may wish to take corrective
action in your design.
3) In the slow or high speed operating condition, the electrical
life might be greatly reduced depending upon the switching load.
Please consult us before use.
4) Using lever type in do not condition, there is the concern that
the flexible part may be impeded and return movement may not
be possible. In this situation take the following precautions:
• Select a product of higher OF or use a leaf type lever.
• Attach a protective cover to the lever.
5) If the leaf lever type switch is excessively pushed (pushed
further than the operational limit position) or switching is done at
high speed or is accompanied by the impact, the lever will break.
Please be careful. Also, be careful with the short roller lever type
ABV (BV) switch as improper return may result from pressing
too much.
■Protection from dust, water and corrosive gas
1) The pin button and the space around the body cap Turquoise
switches are sealed with elastic material, the terminal portion is
integrally molded. This prevents dust entry and protects the
switch against corrosive gases. Wireleaded types are
recommended for applications subject to water or oil splash.
However, avoid soaking these immersion protected types in oil
or water, because those types are not of completely oil tight
construction.
2) Switch operation or rapid temperature change while water
droplets are on the switch may cause the water invasion inside
the switch because of breathing action on condensation.
Especially do not use switch in a bath.
If sources of silicon gas are existing in the vicinity of the switch
(silicon rubber, silicon oil, silicon coating, and silicon filler, etc.),
silicon gas (low molecular siloxane, etc.) will be emitted and it
will get into the product due to the permeability of the plastic.
If the switch is used or stored in such an environment, silicon
compound might generate on the contacts, cause the and faulty
contacting. Therefore, please do not use sources that can emit
silicon gas in the vicinity of the switch.
Do not use in areas where flammable or explosive gases from
gasoline and thinner, etc., may be present.
