Reference number: 20/min, Reference temperature: +20°C.
I min = 1 mA at 24 V DC or 5 mA at 6 V DC
*1) Higher currents (5 A max) will cause a reduction of the durability of the micro-switch contacts. Futhermore additional measuements has to be taken to
fulfil the EMV regulation 2004/108/EG by the manufacturer
*2) Spark quenching/overload protection will be necessary using inductive loads.
Recommended circuit
Spark quenching and EMV intrinsically safe
1. Quick diode (D) with tv
≤
200 ns, parallel to inductive load.
2. RC link in parallel to load in parallel to switching contact.
