Characteristics
Note: 1. The above figures are initial values.
2. The figures in parentheses for dielectric strength are those for the high-
sensitivity overtravel models.
*1. The values are calculated at an operating temperature of +5
°
C to +35
°
C and an
operating humidity of 40% to 70%RH. Contact your OMRON sales
representative for more detailed information on other operating environments.
*2. Durability is 10,000,000 operations min. for general-purpose or high-
sensitivity overtravel models, and for flexible rod models.
500,000 operations min. for weather-proof models.
*3. Durability is 500,000 operations min. for high-sensitivity models. All
microload models are 1,000,000 operations min.
500,000 operations min. for weather-proof models.
*4. Except flexible rod models. The shock resistance (malfunction) for
microload models is 200 m/s2 max.
*5. For low-temperature models this is –40°C to +40°C (with no icing). For heat-
resistant models the range is +5°C to +120°C.
*6. For microload models, the contact resistance is 50 mΩ max. (initial value for
built-in switch).

3. A lamp load has an inrush current of 10
times the steady-state current.
4. A motor load has an inrush current of 6
times the steady-state current.
5. For PC loads, use the microload models.
