Break action stops switches sticking

A new range of V4 subminiature DZ switches offers a positive break action feature.

Cherry Electrical Products' new range of V4 subminiature DZ switches offers a positive break action feature.

This mechanism operates when the contacts are welded or clotted and the operating force is insufficient to open the contact.

In addition, parts consist of cadmium-free contact material in accordance with RoHS directives.

The DZ range operates at temperatures between -20 and +85C, with a contact resistance of less that 100mohm between 100mA and 10V DC.

The device switches high inductive loads 3A/250V at 50,000 cycles and complies with EN60335-1 for resistance against heat and fire.

DZ switches are especially designed for motor drives (sun blinds, adjustable beds, armchairs and office desks, automatic doors and gates).

Devices are also applicable as limit switches for industrial automation, and as auxiliary switches for medium-voltage systems.
