requirements.
• All versions comply with ClassII
EN61058-1 insulation grade.
Insulation distance: 8mm Min.
Contact gap: 3mm Min.
• International Standard-approved
status
2. High inrush current resistance is
ideal for office automation equipment.
3. Operation that only requires a light
touch
The best operation characteristics were
sought by analyzing touch data gathered
by monitoring 1,500 people.
• Power Rocker Switch touch curve
4. A broad product line
The AJ8 switches are available with five
different types of terminals:quick-connect
terminals, soldering terminals, PC board
terminals, right angle terminals and left

CONTACT TYPE
Models with cadmium-free contacts have
been introduced in order to reduce
environmentally harmful substances. (“F”
is affixed to the end of the part number.)
We ask customers who are currently
using products with cadmium-containing
contacts (no “F” at the end of the part
number) to please make the switch to
models with cadmium-free contacts.
When switching, operating life may differ
depending on the load. Please be sure to
verify this by conducting an evaluation
using actual equipment.
