Connect limiting resistors to the LEDs. The Switch does not have built-in limiting resistors, so satisfy the LED characteristics by obtaining the limiting resistance according to the following formula based on the voltage to be used.

No. X037) for details on general safety precautions. ■ Precautions for Correct Use LEDs Switches with high-brightness green (HG) or blue (B) LEDs are susceptible to static electricity. Be careful when handling a Switch with these LEDs as it may cause the Switch to breakdown. Removing the Cap 1. Hold the cap at the side away from the mating section. Pull straight up. 2. Do not remove the cap while the Switch is mounted. Doing so will apply force to the soldered section and LEDs, result- ing in malfunction. Correct Incorrect Placing the Cap on the Switch Hold the Cap at the side away from the mating section. Push straight down until the mating section meets. Correct Incorrect Removing the Cap The Cap can be removed up to two times. Excessively removing the Cap will cause the mating section to become weak, resulting the operating section not mating completely or the Cap may fall off.
