Toggle switch 8C

A part of this series was discontinued Check affected part number

FeaturesFeatures

The 8C series has a fl atted actuator and is anti-rotation.. The dress nut is standard with the fl atted toggle.
Suitable for applications where panel space is limited and a larger toggle is needed.
Terminal style : Solder, Straight, Right angle and vertical mount PC terminals. Contacts : Silver or gold.
Epoxy resin case : UL94V-0 self-extinguishing epoxy.
Actuator styles : Over 30 actuator variations.
Insulation between terminal and ground : 4 mm minimum. Prevention of flux entry The epoxy resin seal on bottom of the switch helps prevent the entry of solder and flux.
Insulation barrier : Insulation barrier design between poles helps prevent short-circuiting between poles ensuring high reliability.

Manual soldering/Device ：Solder iron ①420℃ Max. 3 sec. Max.
Auto soldering/275℃ Max. 6 sec. Max.
The above-stated soldering conditions shall apply only to switches with straight terminals. Auto soldering is not possible with right-angle terminals. Switches with right-angle terminals should be soldered manually according to the conditions specifi ed in (1) above.
When soldering two or more terminals to the common land, use the solder resist to isolate the terminals.。

Solvent : Fluorine or Alcohol type.
8A/B/C/D/E/F/J series are not washable. To wash the PC board, clean the soldering surface of the PC board with a brush so that the switch is not exposed to the cleaning solution.
Cleaning after soldering should be done after the terminal temperature falls to 90℃ or below, or after leaving the switch for fi ve minutes or longer at room temperature.

Do not bend the terminals before mounting the switch on the PC board.
After mounting the switch, do not place the device in such a way that the device weight will be applied on to the actuator of the switch.
For switches with straight terminals, solder the switch on the PC board after fi xing the switch on the panel with a nut.
