Technical Terminology & Cautions for Use TECHNICAL NOTES ON ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS 1) The snap-action switch is designed for AC operations. While it beginning of use. However, as the contact surfaces develop films has small contact gaps and no arc absorber, it may be used for with time, the film may not be broken by the switching operation, low-capacity DC operations.
Technical Terminology & Cautions for Use MOUNTING STATE AND ENVIRONMENT ■ Soldering precautions ■ Checking the insulation distance After mounting and wiring, check the insulation distance For manual soldering, lay the terminals flat (horizontal with the between terminals and the ground. If the insulation distance is ground) and quickly perform the soldering operation using a soldering iron with the appropriate heat capacity and the proper inadequate, mount insulating material between as required.
