Basic Models
General-purpose
• A variety of actuators is available for a wide range of application.
• The contact mechanism of models for micro loads is a crossbar
type with gold-alloy contacts, which ensures highly reliable
operations for micro loads.
• Contact Gap:
H2: 0.20 mm (extra-high-sensitivity)
H: 0.25 mm (high-sensitivity, micro voltage current load)
G: 0.5 mm (standard)
E: 1.8 mm (high-capacity)
Drip-proof
• These Switches use a rubber boot on the actuator and adhesive fill
between the case and cover to increase resistance to drips.
• Models with drip-proof terminal protective covers and molded
terminals with resin filling are also available.
Split-contact Models
• This type is identical in construction to the general-purpose basic
switch except that it has two pairs of simultaneous acting contacts
by splitting moving contacts.
• Since the moving contacts are connected to a common terminal,
either parallel or series connection is possible.
• Highly reliable micro load switching is ensured if the model is used
as a twin-contact switch.
Maintained-contact Models
• The maintained-contact type has a reset button at the bottom of the
switch case, in addition to the pushbutton (plunger) located on the
opposite side of the reset button. Use these buttons alternately.
• Since the Switch has greater pretravel than overtravel, it is suitable
for use in reversible control circuits, manual reset circuits, safety
limit circuits, and other circuits which are not preferable for
automatic resetting. (For further details, refer to individual
datasheets.)

The pin plungers of reverse-type models are continuously pressed by the actuator levers with compression coil springs and the pin plungers are freed by operating
the levers. Reverse-type models are highly vibration- and shock-resistive because the pin plungers are normally pressed.

Terminal Covers (Sold Separately)
Separator (Sold Separately)
The Terminal Covers can be attached to Z, A, X, and DZ Switches.
The Terminal Cover is secured with mounting screws and protects the casing and terminal wires
from dust, vibration, or fingers, thus preventing terminal short-circuiting, ground faults, wire
disconnection or improper connection, and electric shock accidents.
Terminal Covers made of phenol resin have five or six thin wall sections. These sections can be
torn open for providing holes for lead cables at desired points.
A terminal cover can’t be used in the case of using an actuator sold separately.

Safety Precautions
Refer to Safety Precautions for All Basic Switches.
Precautions for Safe Use
Incorrect
Correct
Terminal Connection
When soldering lead wires to the Switch, make sure that the capacity
of the soldering iron is 60 W maximum. Do not take more than 5 s to
solder any part of the Switch. The characteristics of the Switch will
deteriorate if a soldering iron with a capacity of more than 60 W is
applied to any part of the Switch for 5 s or more.
Operation
• Make sure that the switching frequency or speed is within the
specified range.
1.If the switching speed is extremely slow, the contact may not be
switched smoothly, which may result in a contact failure or
contact welding.
2.If the switching speed is extremely fast, switching shock may
damage the Switch soon. If the switching frequency is too high,
the contact may not catch up with the speed.
The rated permissible switching speed and frequency indicate the
switching reliability of the Switch.
The life of a Switch is determined at the specified switching speed.
The life varies with the switching speed and frequency even when
they are within the permissible ranges. In order to determine the
life of a Switch model to be applied to a particular use, it is best to
conduct an appropriate durability test on some samples of the
model under actual conditions.
• Make sure that the actuator travel does not exceed the permissible OT
position. The operating stroke must be set to 70% to 100% of the rated OT.
Precautions for Correct Use
Mounting Location
• Do not use the switch alone in atmospheres such as flammable or
explosive gases. Arcing and heat generation associated with
switching may cause fires or explosions.
• Switches are generally not constructed with resistance against water. Use
a protective cover to prevent direct spraying if the switch is used in
locations subject to splashing or spurting oil or water, dust adhering.
Incorrect
Correct
Separate the
installation location from
heat sources.
• Mount a cover if the switch is to be installed in a location where
worker inattention could result in incorrect operation or accidents.
Incorrect
Correct
(preventing malfunctions)
• Subjecting the switch to continuous vibration or shock may result in
contact failure or faulty operation due to abrasion powder and in
reduced durability. Excessive vibration or shock will cause the
contacts to operate malfunction or become damaged. Mount the
switch in a location that is not subject to vibration or shock and in a
direction that does not subject the switch to resonance.
• If silver contacts are used with relatively low frequency for a long
time or are used with microloads, the sulfide coating produced on
the contact surface will not be broken down and contact faults will
result. Use a microload switch that uses gold contacts.
• Do not use the switch in atmospheres with high humidity or heat or
in harmful gases, such as sulfide gas (H2S, SO2), ammonia gas
(NH3), nitric acid gas (HNO3), or chlorine gas (Cl2). Doing so may
impair functionality, such as with damage due to contacting faults
or corrosion.
• The switch includes contacts. If the switch is used in an atmosphere
with silicon gas, arc energy may cause silicon oxide (SiO2) to
accumulate on the contacts and result in contact failure. If there is
silicon oil, silicon filling, silicon wiring, or other silicon products in the
vicinity of the switch, use a contact protection circuit to limit arcing
and remove the source of the silicon gas.
Mounting
Always make sure that the power is turned OFF before mounting,
removing, or wiring the Switch, or performing maintenance.
Electric shock or burning may occur.
Selecting Models
Terminal box
Terminal box
• Install the switch in a location that is not directly subject to debris
and dust from cutting. The actuator and the switch body must be
protected from accumulated cutting debris and dirt.
Incorrect
Correct
• Do not use the switch in locations subject to hot water (greater than
60°C) or in water vapor.
• Do not use the switch outside the specified temperature and
atmospheric conditions.
The permissible ambient temperature depends on the model. (Refer to
the specifications in this catalog.) Sudden thermal changes may cause
thermal shock to distort the switch and result in faults.
We recommend using Drip-proof Models (protection equivalent to
IP62) in locations subject to floating dirt and dust. Other models do not
have a protective structure.
Wiring
• Use wire sizes that are suitable to the applied voltage and carried
current.
• If you use a soldering iron to solder the wires, do not allow the tip of
the soldering iron to exceed 380°C. If a Switch is used with
insufficient soldering, abnormal heat and burning may occur.
• Solder for no more than 5 s at 350°C and for no more than 3 s at
380°C. If heat is applied for too long, the case may melt, the lead
wire coverings may be scorched, and other characteristics of the
Switch may deteriorate.
Tightening
The suitable tightening torque for screw terminals is given below.
Screw terminals except for those on Split-contact Models (Z-10FYB): 0.78 to 1.18 N·m
Screw terminals on Split-contact Models (Z-10FY-B):
0.49 to 1.18 N·m
Operation
• Make sure that the switching speed and frequency are is within the
specified ranges.
1. If the switching speed is extremely slow, the contacts may not be switched
smoothly, which may result in a contact failure or contact welding.
26
Z
2. If the switching speed is extremely fast, switching shock may
damage the Switch prematurely. If the switching frequency is too
high, the contacts may not be able to keep up with the speed.
The rated permissible switching speed and frequency indicate the
switching reliability of the Switch.
The life of a Switch is determined at the specified switching speed.
The life varies with the switching speed and frequency even when
they are within the permissible ranges. Always conduct appropriate
durability tests under actual conditions before using a Switch.
• Make sure that the actuator travel does not exceed the permissible OT
position. The operating stroke must be set to 70% to 100% of the rated OT.
Models with Drip-proof Terminal Cover (Z-@A55-B5V)
Wiring
• To attach the Protective Cover to the case, hold the cover in almost
parallel to the case and then push it to the case. If the cover is
pushed diagonally, the rubber packing may slip off, degrading the
sealability of the Switch.
Terminal with
toothed
washer
Panel Mount Switch (Z-15@Q@, Z-01@Q@)
• When mounting the panel mount plunger model with screws on a
side surface, be careful of the dog angle and operation speed.
Excessive dog angle or operation speed may damage the Switch.
• When using the panel mount plunger model mounted with screws
on a side surface, be careful not to apply a large shock. Applying a
shock exceeding 1,000 m/s2 may damage the Switch.
• When using the panel mount plunger model mounted with screws
on a side surface, remove the hexagonal nuts from the actuator.
High-sensitivity Switch (Z-15H)/
Extra-high-sensitivity Switch (Z-15H2)
• When using the Switch in a DC circuit, be sure to provide an arc
suppressor as well because the small contact gap of the Switch
may result in contact troubles.
• In an application where a high repeat accuracy is required, limit the
current that flows through the Switch to within 0.1 A. Also, use a
relay to control a high-capacity load if the Switch is connected to
such a load. (In this case, the exciting current of the relay coil is the
load of the Switch.)
• Do not apply a force of 19.6 N or higher to the pin plunger.
• Exercise care that the environment conditions such as temperature
and humidity do not change abruptly.
Micro Load Applicable Range
DC voltage (V)
Using a model for ordinary loads to open or close the contact of a
micro load circuit may result in faulty contact. Use models that operate
in the following range. However, even when using micro load models
within the operating range shown here, if inrush current occurs when
the contact is opened or closed, it may increase contact wear and so
decrease durability. Therefore, insert a contact protection circuit
where necessary.
The minimum applicable load is the N-level reference value. This
value indicates the malfunction reference level for the reliability level
of 60% (λ 60). The equation, λ 60 = 0.5×10-6/operations indicates that
the estimated malfunction rate is less than 1/2,000,000 operations
with a reliability level of 60%.

• A cable 8.5 to 10.5 mm in diameter can be
applicable to the sealing rubber of the lead outlet of the Switch. A
two-core or three-core VCT cable having a cross-sectional area of
1.25 mm2 is especially suitable for this.
• Use M4 small screws with spring toothed washer are used as the
terminal screws.
Drip-proof Switch (Z-@55)
• The Switch is not perfectly oil-tight; so do not dip it in oil or water.
• The rubber boots are made from weather-resistive chloroprene
rubber.
• Do not use Basic Switches in places with radical changes in
temperature.
• Rubber boots and rubber caps will tend to harden at lower ambient
temperatures. If an Actuator is used in a pressed state for an
extended period of time at low temperatures, it may return slowly or
it may not return at all. OMRON can provide special Actuators for
use at low temperature with rubber boots or rubber caps made of
silicon rubber, which has superior resistance to cold. Ask your
OMRON representative for details.
Split-contact Switch (Z-10F@Y)
The applicable current varies depending on how the contacts are
used. If the Switch is connected in series, the Switch can endure a
current 1.5 to 2 times higher than the current that can be applied in
parallel connection.

• When the rod is fully swung, the Switch may operate when the lever
returns, causing chattering. Use a circuit that compensates for
chattering wherever possible.
• Do not switch the rod to the fullest extent when the Switch is to
break a power circuit because such a practice may cause metal
deposition to occur between the mating contacts of the Switch.
