AEQ (EQ) Switches

Rating/Performance

Contact rating

100 μA 3 V DC to 100 mA 30 V DC.
[Min. switching capacity (Reference value*) 10 μA 1 V DC]

* This value is a rough indication of the lowest possible low level load at which switching is possible.
This value can change due to the switching frequency, environmental conditions, and desired reliability level, therefore it is recommended to check this with the actual load.

*1The above indicates the characteristics when operating the pushbutton from the vertical direction.
*2Indicates operation load for N.O. contact to achieve ON status.
*3Indicates position for N.C. contact to achieve OFF status.
*4Indicates position for N.O. contact to achieve ON status.
*5Although there is some overlap in the range of the operating position (OP) on the N.C. and N.O. sides due to the tolerance, in actuality there is always an intermediate OFF range (the N.C. and N.O. sides will never ON at the same time.)
*6Indicates position for N.C. contact to achieve ON status.
*7Indicates position for N.O. contact to achieve OFF status.
