How to Use?
Install the AH1762619-A by mounting it securely to your PCB or control panel using the designated screw holes or slots. Connect wires or solder to the terminals based on your circuit design. The actuator engages when it comes into mechanical contact with a moving component, sending an electrical signal. Ensure it’s aligned properly to avoid premature triggering or missed actuation.
Cautions
- Avoid exceeding electrical or mechanical ratings
- Protect from dust, oil, or water ingress if not sealed
- Do not modify the actuator force
- Allow proper clearance to prevent jamming or misfire
- Use within specified temperature and voltage ranges
- Ensure proper terminal connection to prevent short circuits
