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
