Actuators
— Standard Force
Many special forms and lengths of actuators
are available. Standard type integral hinged
lever and roller actuators are available in
choice of 2 mounting positions. Actuation
lengths are dimensioned from centerline of
switch mounting hole as shown.
*Measured above reference line. Refer to dimensional drawing above. **Actuator tolerance ± 0.031 inches (0.79mm).
†
Only available with 85°C temperature rating.
Note: E35 and E36 not available in standard force. See Miniature E Series Light Force for ordering information. Suffix numbers shown represent
switch with 0.187″ (4.75mm) terminals.
Mounting
— Standard Force
Recommended mounting screw size:
#4-40 round head. Recommended torque
on screw: 3 inch lbs. max.
Circuitry
— Standard Force
Contact arrangement available in choice of
single pole double throw or single pole sin-
gle throw, either normally open or normally
closed. In general normally open may be
specified by changing suffix number from
00 to 01 and normally closed by changing
suffix number to 02.
