PERSONAL INJURY WARNING

DO NOT USE these products as safety or emergency stop devices or in any other application where the failure of the product could result in personal injury.

Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.

 CAUTION

SWITCH DAMAGE

SWITCH DAMAGE

• Wiring must be rated to meet or exceed circuitry requirements.
• Connecting circuitry must not exceed switch rating.
• Wiring connections must be properly secured.
• Do not exceed recommended soldering time or temperature.
• Do not contact switch housing with soldering device.
• Do not exceed recommended mounting screw tightening torques.
• Discontinue use if the switch has been damaged or the cover removed.
• Do not apply side loads to the actuator or exceed specified travel limits.
• Do not operate or store in areas where corrosive gases such as hydrogen sulfide are present.

Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.

  DANGER

IMPROPER USE

DO NOT USE In hazardous environments where flammable or explosive gases or liquids such as gasoline or thinners, etc., are present.

Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury.

GENERAL INFORMATION

MICRO SWITCH Original Technology V19 Series Basic Switches are precision snap-action contact mechanisms enclosed in plastic cases. Switch actuation triggers the mechanical closure of the switch’s contacts. A small amount of arcing between the contacts during contact closure occurs during normal operation. In order to obtain desired switch performance, the switch must be chosen based on the mechanical, electrical, and environmental conditions of the application.

Do not use this product in an application where water or dust is prevalent. The environmental degree of protection for the V19 Series is IP00. Honeywell offers a watertight switch in a similar package, the V15W.

TABLE 1. MOUNTING INFORMATION

*To prevent loosening of screws, use spring washers under screw heads and thread lock adhesive.

• Turn OFF the power supply before mounting or removing the switch, wiring, or performing maintenance or inspection. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
• Mount the switch onto a flat surface. Mounting on an uneven surface may cause deformation of the switch, resulting in faulty operation or damage.
• Use an operating device with low frictional resistance and of a shape that will not interfere with the plunger otherwise the plunger may be damaged.
• Position the operating device perpendicular to the actuator/pushbutton to prevent side loading of the switch actuator or pushbutton.
• Position the operating device so that no force is applied to the pushbutton/actuator when the switch is in the free position.
• The operating device should be positioned so that when the switch is in the operating position it should move the actuator no less than 70% of the total travel. Setting the
  travel position so that less than 70% of the total travel is used may cause poor contact or welding conditions due to an insufficient contact switching force.
• The operating device should never force the actuator/ pushbutton to exceed the total travel position.

WIRING INFORMATION

• Connect wires firmly to terminals.
• Replace wires that have damaged insulation.
• Use properly sized spade terminals.
• Use wire rated for the application’s electrical load and the application’s temperature.
• Provide strain relief when the potential exists for forces to be transferred from the lead wires to the switch terminals.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION

A circuit diagram is included on the switch case labeling each of the terminals. The normal position corresponds to the switch plunger in its released position.

 

SOLDERING GUIDELINES

When hand soldering the switch’s terminals, do not exceed five seconds at 350°C [662°F]. Contacting the switch housing with the soldering device may damage the switch housing. Solder joints must not be moved for at least one minute after soldering.

Do not try to clean the switch with a solvent or similar substance after the soldering process.
