Note: 1. Data shown are of initial value. 2. The dielectric strength shown is measured using a separator between the switch and metal mounting plate. 3. For the pin plunger models, the above values apply for use at the free position and total travel position. For lever models, they apply at the total travel position. Contact separation time is within 1 ms.

Note: Minimum applicable loads are indicated by N standard reference values. This value represents the failure rate at a 60% (λ60) reliability level (JIS C5003). The equation λ60=0.5 x 10-6 / operations indicates that a failure rate of 1/2,000,000 operations can be expected at a reliability level of 60%
