FEATURES
1. High performance and excellent 
characteristics.
An AH7 snap action switch is used in the 
switch body and since the installation 
frame is made of molded plastic, 
dimensional accuracy is now on a new 
level.
2. Two series: push type and lock type
Lock type also available that locks when 
rotated.
3. Six push-button colors
You can use colors in accordance with 
sequence functions.
4. The switch body uses an AH7 snap 
action switch (O.F. 3.92 N max. type). 
Also, if dirt and water resistant 
properties are required of the internal 
switch, a V type turquoise switch 
(sealed type snap action switch) can 
be built in. Please inquire.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN 
USING CADMIUM-FREE 
CONTACT TYPE
Models with cadmium-free contacts have 
been introduced in order to reduce 
environmentally harmful substances. (“F” 
is affixed to the end of the part number.)
We ask customers who are currently 
using products with cadmium-containing 
contacts (no “F” at the end of the part 
number) to please make the switch to 
models with cadmium-free contacts. 
When switching, operating life may differ 
depending on the load. Please be sure to 
verify this by conducting an evaluation 
using actual equipment.
