Mounting Switch Unit on a Panel Mount Leaf Spring Press the leaf spring into the fitted groove on the upper surface of the switch unit. For an easier fitting, first fit one side of the leaf spring, then press the other side into the fitting groove. Leaf spring Leaf spring fitting groove Switch unit Note: Be sure to fit the leaf spring exactly into the groove, and do not allow it to slip out of the groove. Mount Flange on Panel Insert the flange from the front surface of the panel. Panel Flange Guide The flange has two opposing guides to facilitate its insertion into the panel cutout hole. Be sure the flange does not remain tilted with re- spect to the panel surface after being installed. Cross Section Flange Panel (t = 1 to 1.6 mm) Note: The mounting direction of the flange determines the orientation of the switch unit. Fit Flange with Switch Unit While holding the flange, insert the opposing supports into the gaps between the leaf spring and switch unit on the longer sides of the housing, and fit the rectangular hole of the flange with the projec- tions of the switch housing. Support Panel Projection Note: Completely remove any burrs on the panel cutout surface; otherwise, the flange and switch unit will not attach solidly. Removing Switch Unit Insert a small flat-bladed screwdriver or tweezers into the flange support exposed on the rear of the panel. Pry up on each side to pull out the switch unit. Panel Flat-bladed screwdriver or tweezers Note: Do not pry up the flange support more than necessary or the switch holding portions may be damaged.
When operating an A3A, make sure that the A3A has a pushbutton. Do not operate the A3A with a screwdriver or tweezers without mounting a pushbutton to the A3A, otherwise the A3A may malfunc- tion. Mounting When opening a hole on a panel to mount an A3A to the panel, make sure that the hole has no burr. When mounting a flange to the switching mechanism of an A3A, make sure that the flange and the casing of the switching mecha- nism are engaged securely. Wiring When soldering the terminals of an A3A, refer to the following. 1. For manual soldering: Use a soldering iron with an input of
30 W to solder the terminals at a temperature of 280#C
maximum within five seconds. 2. For automatic soldering: Solder the terminals at a temperature of 240#C within three seconds. Do not impose any external force on the terminals for one minute after the terminals are soldered. Do not solder the terminals at a temperature of 300#C or more, otherwise the resin casing of the A3A will deform and the location of the terminals will change. Do not pull the terminals of any A3A with a force exceeding 0.6 kgf (5.34 N), otherwise the joint part of the A3A may be damaged. When soldering the terminals of an A3A, apply non-corrosive rosin flux to the terminals. After soldering the terminals of an A3A, do not wash the A3A with any solvent. When mounting an A3A to a PCB and soldering the terminals of the A3A to the PCB, make sure that the flux will not rise above the sur- face of the PCB. Operating Environment When using an A3A, make sure that dust, metal powder, or oil will not penetrate into the interior of the A3A. LED The back of an A3A with an LED indicates the polarity of the LED. Wire the LED correctly according to the polarity. An A3A with a built-in LED does not have a limiting resistor. Connect a limiting resistor to the build-in LED. The resistance can be calculated by using the following expression. R=( E- - VF)/IF (") E: Applied voltage (V) VF: LED forward voltage (V) IF: LED forward current (A) Note: Make sure that the limiting resistor connected to the built-in LED of an A3A satisfies the characteristics of the built-in LED. The mean forward current of the built-in LED must be 8 mA minimum. Example Conditions: Red LED with an IF of - -10 mA at 24 V and a Ta of 25#C. From the red LED characteristic below, VF will be 2 V when IF is 10 mA. Therefore, R = (24 V - - 2 V)/0.01 A = 2,200". Thus the recommended resistance is 2.2 k" at 0.5 W (2 x IF2R). The permissible wattage of the resistor must be twice as large as the required wattage.

Do not remove the pushbutton unit of the mechanical indicator mod- el. Engraving of Pushbutton Depth of engraving: 0.3 mm max. for illuminating pushbutton 0.5 mm max. for non-illuminating pushbutton Since the pushbutton unit is made of polycarbonate, use an alcohol- based solvent when cleaning the unit. Pressing of Pushbutton Apply firm pressure to the pushbutton unit when operating it. In do- ing so, however, do not apply a pressure greater than 1.2 kgf (11.8 N).
