Precautions
■ Correct Use
Mounting
Use M4 screws with plane washers and spring washers to mount the
Switch. Tighten each mounting screw securely to a torque of 1.18 to
1.47 N • m {12 to 15 kgf • cm}.
Panel Mount Switch (Z-15@Q, Z-01@Q@)
When mounting the panel mount plunger model with screws on a
side surface, be careful of the dog angle and operation speed.
Excessive dog angle or operation speed may damage the Switch.
The Switch can be panel mounted, provided that the hexagonal nut
of the actuator is tightened to a torque of 2.94 to 4.9 N • m {30 to 50
kgf • cm}.
When using the panel mount plunger model mounted with screws on
a side surface, be careful not to apply a large shock. Applying a
shock exceeding 100G may damage the Switch.
When using the panel mount plunger model mounted with screws on
a side surface, remove the hexagonal nuts from the actuator.
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
result 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 19.6 N {2 kgf} or higher to the pin plunger.
Exercise care that the environment conditions such as temperature
and humidity do not change abruptly.
Drip-proof Switch
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 rubber.
Do not use Basic Switches in places with radical changes in temperature.
Flexible Rod Switch
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.

B-B section
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.
