CAUTIONS FOR USE
■ Fastening of the switch body
1) To secure the switch, please use an
M2.3 screw on a flat surface and tighten
using a maximum torque of 0.29 N·m. It
is recommended that both flat metal
washer and spring washers be used with
the screws and adhesive be applied to
lock the screws to prevent loosening of
the screws.
2) Be sure to maintain adequate
insulating clearance between each
terminal and ground.
3) When the operation object is in the
free position, force should not be applied
directly to the actuator or pin plunger.
Also force should be applied to the pin
plunger from vertical direction to the
switch.
4) In setting the movement after
operation, the over-travel should be set
more than 70% as a standard.
With the lever type, do not apply
excessive force in the direction opposite
to the movement, or from the horizontal
direction.
■ About the connector
1) The connector on the AV6 (CS) switch
is designed to fit with the XA connector
produced by JST Mfg. Co., Ltd. Do not
use any connector other than the
specified connector, or solder the
terminals directly.
2) Make sure leads are arranged so that
no constant force is applied to them when
the connectors are mated.
3) Keep the connector straight when
inserting it. If it is inserted at an angle, it
may snag near the entrance, or it may be
inserted too forcefully.
4) Problems thought to be caused by the
XA connector, which is specified as
conforming to the AV6 (CS) switch
connector, are not covered by the
warranty. Please contact JST Mfg., Co.,
Ltd. and request cooperation in resolving
the problem.
■ 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.
■ Environment
Avoid using and storing these switches in
a location where they will be exposed to
corrosive gases, silicon, or high dust
levels, all of which can have an adverse
effect on the contacts.
■ Precautions concerning circuits
The AV6 (CS) switch is designed
specifically for low-voltage, low-current
loads. Avoid using it at loads that exceed
the rating load.
■ Quality check under actual loading
conditions
To assure reliability, check the switch
under actual loading conditions. Avoid
any situation that may adversely affect
switching performance.
