DZF Ultra Subminiature Basic Switch Datasheet

Category: Electronics, OMRON Automation and Safety, Switches

Overview

The DZF Ultra Subminiature Basic Switch is a compact and versatile switch featuring a variety of terminals and actuator options. It is designed with a precise snapping mechanism composed of two split springs to ensure longevity and reliability. The switch accommodates an array of applications with its terminal variations, including self-clinching PCB terminals, and both left-angled and right-angled terminals. It also offers solder terminals in compact forms.

Models and Ratings

The datasheet covers a range of models categorized by operating force and functionality. There are general-purpose switches operating at 1.47N (150 gf) and low operating force models at 0.74N (75 gf). The ratings span across several voltages and currents, with standard models rated for 125 VAC at 3A or 1A, and a 30 VDC version at 0.1A.

Terminals and Actuators

Variations of terminals like PCB (straight, left-angled, right-angled), self-clinching PCB, solder terminals, and compact solder terminals ensure broad application suitability. Actuator types include pin plungers, hinge levers, hinge roller levers, and simulated roller levers with different radii, catering to diverse mechanical actuation needs.

Contact Specifications

The switch utilizes crossbar silver alloy or gold alloy contacts, with a standard gap and a specified minimum applicable load. Care is advised for micro load applications, where users should refer to additional precautions within the datasheet.

Safety and Testing

Each model has been tested under specific conditions for rated voltage and resistive loads, with general-purpose and low operating force variants. These tests are carried out in controlled environments with set temperature, humidity, and operating frequencies. Important to note is that not all models are standard approved but can be inquired about through OMRON sales representatives. The switch complies with recognized safety standards, including UL and ICSA.

Environmental Compliance

All the models listed in the datasheet are compliant with RoHS, which restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
