Model 83 170 9 is designed to operate equally well on dual-current
(1 mA 4 V minimum) or medium-current (5 A maximum) circuits.
However, a given product should only be used to switch one type of
circuit during its working life.
For other forces, actuators, connections and temperatures,
please consult us.

Mounting positions
Except where otherwise indicated, actuators are supplied unmounted.
For factory mounting, specify mounting position L or R.
–
To calculate force : take the force quoted for the switch and divide by
the coefficient given in the table.
–
To calculate travel : take the travel quoted for the switch and multiply
by the same coefficient.
Mounting accessories for PCB mounting: 5 / 6 / 7 / 8
