• Manufacturer Part Number: a114-e-04a
• Description: Miniature Rocker Switch A8l
• Manufacturer: Omron Corporation

Precautions
■ Correct Use
Mounting
Turn OFF the power supply before mounting, removing or wiring the
Switch, or before performing maintenance inspections. Failure to do
so may result in electric shock.
Do not use panels other than ones with the designated thickness and
dimensions. Remove all burrs from the cutout before installing the
Switch. Otherwise, the Switch may malfunction.
Do not impose excessive force on the Switch at the time of panel-
mounting.
There are two small divots in the flange part of the case marking ON
and OFF as shown in the following diagram. Use these marks as
guides when mounting.
Wiring
When soldering terminals manually, perform soldering within 3 s
using a 60-W soldering iron (temperature at the tip of the soldering
iron: 420°C max.). Do not apply excessive force to the terminals dur-
ing soldering.
When soldering using a soldering tub, perform soldering within 5 s in
a soldering fluid at 270°C, or within 3 s in a soldering fluid at 350°C.
Be sure that the wires are thick enough for the load (current) to be
applied.
Only A8L-@@-@5@@ models are equipped with (6.3×0.8) mm flat-
quick connections for use with #187 fasten receptacles.
The terminals of A8L-@@-@1@@ are not in compliance with IEC
standards for flat-quick connections. Suitable for use as solder con-
nection only.
Using Microloads
The performance of the Switch may be affected if the Switch is used
for switching micro loads. Test the Switch under the actual operating
conditions.
Operating Environment
Do not use the Switch in places with sulfide gas, corrosive gas, sea
breeze, oil spray, or direct sunlight. Otherwise, the Switch may mal-
function.
Do not use the Switch in places that are visibly dusty. Otherwise, the
contacts may fail to operate correctly.

■ Cautions
Do not wire the Switch or touch any terminal of the
Switch While power is being supplied. Doing so may
result in electric shock.
To increase the reliability of operation, test the Switch before actual
operation.
Be sure that there is an enough insulation distance between any
Switch terminal and metal part.
Handling
Do not drop the Switch. Otherwise, the Switch may malfunction.
Do not impose excessive force on the Switch. Otherwise, the Switch
may deform.
The recommended panel material is SPCC. The Switch may fall off if
the material is soft and cannot securely hold the Switch. When using
a soft material, test the Switch with it before using the Switch in
actual operation.
