Precautions
Mounting
Use M4 mounting screws with plain washers or spring washers to
mount
the switch. T
ighten the screws
at a torque of 1.18 to 1.47 N
m
(12 to 15 kgf
cm).

Solder
the lead to the terminal by applying a soldering iron rated at
60 W max. quickly (within 5 seconds).
Applying a soldering iron for
too
long a time or using one that is rated at more than 60 W may de
-
grade the switch characteristics.
Refer to the following for appropriate tightening torque for each
type.
Split

Panel Mount Switch (Z-15
When
mounting a panel mount switch to a panel, tighten the
hexa
-
gon
nut of the actuator at a torque of 50 kg
cm (4.9 N) or less.
When
mounting a panel mount switch on its side, remove the hexa
-
gon
nut from the actuator and carefully adjust
the dog angle and op
-
erating
speed because too large a dog angle or too high an operat
-
ing
speed may damage the switch. Especially be careful not to apply
an impulsive force to the actuator when operating it. By the same
token,
too high an operating speed and too long an overtravel may
damage
a panel mount switch with a roller pin plunger
.
When

High-sensitivity Switch (Z-15H)
When
using the switch in a DC circuit, be sure to provide an arc sup
-
pressor
as
well because the small contact gap of the switch may re
-
sult
in contact troubles.
In
an application where a high repeat accuracy is required, limit the
current
that flows
through the switch to within 0.1 A. Also, use a relay
to
control a high-capacity load if
the switch is connected to such a
load.
(In this case, the exciting current of the relay coil is the load of
the switch.)
Do not apply a force of 2 kg or higher to the pin plunger
.
Exercise
care that the environment conditions
such as temperature
and
humidity do not change abruptly
.
Microload Switch
Do
not use a basic switch with standard contacts to switch minute
loads, or the loads may not be switched properly due to improper
contact. Instead, use a basic switch with contacts appropriate for
minute loads. The following is the optimum switching range of the
Z-01H,
which is suitable for switching minute loads.
Recommended
load range of the Z-01H: 1 to 100 mA at 5 to 30 VDC
The
above range may vary with the environmental conditions for the
Z-01H.
Contact your OMRON representative for details.

Use M4 small screws with spring washer to fix the terminals.
Others
Do not apply an excessive force to the mounting bracket with a

This terminal protection cover cannot be used with models whose

Drip-proof Switch (Z- 55)
The switch is not perfectly oil-tight; so do not dip it in oil or water

reset button is
operated
by a cam or dog.
