The AJ8 switches are available with five
different types of terminals:quick-connect
terminals, soldering terminals, PC board
terminals, right angle terminals and left
angle terminals.

5. Eight standard actuator colors

White, black, red, dark gray, light gray,
blue, green, yellow

6. Cadmium-free contact compatibility.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN
USING CADMIUM-FREE
CONTACT TYPE

Models with cadmium-free contacts have
been introduced in order to reduce
environmentally harmful substances. (“F”
is affixed to the end of the part number.)
We ask customers who are currently
using products with cadmium-containing
contacts (no “F” at the end of the part
number) to please make the switch to
models with cadmium-free contacts.
When switching, operating life may differ
depending on the load. Please be sure to
verify this by conducting an evaluation
using actual equipment.
