Snap-action switches S880

Product catalog summary
Overview: The S880 series snap-action switches are designed for safety-related applications, featuring positive opening operation and self-cleaning contacts. They are suitable for use in medical engineering, machine control, access locking systems, HVAC systems, and railway engineering.
Features: These switches offer high switching accuracy, resistance to shock and vibration, and are available in a V4 miniature design. They comply with IEC 60947-5-1 standards for reliable breaking of normally closed circuits. Contact materials are available in silver or gold, and the switches are sealed to IP40, IP60, or IP67 standards.
Specifications: The S880 series includes SPDT contact configuration with a conventional thermal current of 6 A at 85°C. The rated insulation voltage is 250 V for IP40 and IP60, and 300 V for UL 508. The switches have a mechanical endurance of 1.5 million cycles and operate within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
Actuator Options: Standard actuators include pushbuttons, plain levers, roller levers, and simulated roller levers. The actuator travel and positions are specified for each type, ensuring proper operation within defined limits.
Mounting and Terminals: The switches can be mounted using solder terminals, PCB terminals, or leads. They are designed for easy integration into various systems with options for rear-mounted actuators.
Standards and Approvals: The switches meet IEC and UL standards, ensuring compliance with international safety and performance requirements.
Ordering Information: The catalogue provides detailed ordering codes for different configurations, including contact finish, degree of protection, and actuator type. Special variants and custom designs are available upon request.
Additional Specifications: The Series S880 terminals come in various configurations, including PCB terminals and solder terminals. The document specifies dimensions and provides guidelines for hand, selective, and wave soldering, emphasizing the use of lead-free solder and specific temperature and duration settings.
Standards: The switches comply with several international standards, including IEC 60947-1, IEC 60947-5-1, UL508, IEC 60529, UL 94V-0, and DIN 41636-6. These standards cover low-voltage switchgear, control switches, industrial control equipment, degrees of protection, flammability, and sensitive switches for communication technology.
Mounting Instructions: The document outlines mechanical fastening methods, including the use of collar screws, DUO-Clips, and retaining rings. It provides specific torque values and emphasizes the importance of using insulating plates and maintaining clearance and creepage distances.
Electrical Rating: The electrical life of the switches depends on factors such as rated voltage, current, type of load, switching rate, and environmental conditions. A diagram illustrates the electrical life test results under laboratory conditions.
Safety and Environmental Conditions: The document highlights the importance of using compatible chemicals with polycarbonate to prevent damage. It also provides safety instructions for handling moisture, aggressive substances, and mechanical impacts.
Company Information: Schaltbau GmbH is certified to RoHS, DIN EN ISO 14001, and DIN EN ISO 9001 standards. The company manufactures connectors, snap-action switches, contactors, and electrical components for railway engineering and industrial applications.
