Enclosed Switch D4MC
Economical, High Utility Enclosed
Switch
High precision and long life (10,000,000 mechani-
cal operations) through employment of the moving
spring used in OMRON Z Basic Switch.
Sealed with gasket diaphragm to provide high
sealing property without use of any adhesive or pin.
Suitable for applications demanding higher me-
chanical
strength, dustproof and drip-proof proper -
ties than those on basic switches.
Panel mount versions have the same operating
position as Z Basic Switch.
Resin molded terminal versions are available. RC

Precautions
Correct Use
Operating Method
Excessive dog angle, operating speed, or overtravel (OT) may
damage the actuator. Check that OT has a sufficient margin. The
actual
OT should be rated OT x 0.7 to 1.
Handling
•Do not expose the Switch to water exceeding 60°C or use it in
steam.
•Do not use the Switch in oil or water .
• An 8.5- to 10.5-dia. cable can be applied as seal rubber for the
lead wire outlet. (Use two- or three-core cable of VCT1.25 mm
2.)
•When detaching the Terminal Protective Cover, insert a
screwdriver and apply a force in the opening direction. Do not
use excess force to remove the cover. Doing so may cause
deformation in the fitting section and reduce the holding force.
Screwdriver
T erminal Protective Cover
When mounting the T erminal Protective Cover to the case, align the
cover on the case and then press the cover down to mount it firmly . If
the cover is pressed down in an inclined position, rubber packing will
deform and thus af fect the sealing capability .
Rubber packing Rubber packing
Mounting
When mounting the Switch with screws on a side surface, fasten the
Switch with M4 screws and use washers, spring washers, etc., to
ensure
secure mounting.
Mounting Holes
T wo, 4.3-dia. or M4 screw holes
•When mounting the Panel Mount-type Switch (DCMC-5000,
D4MC5020, or D4MC5040) with screws on a side surface,
remove
the hexagonal nuts from the actuator .
•When mounting the panel mount type on a panel, be careful not
to tighten to an excessive torque. Tightening the screws to a
torque
exceeding 4.91 N S m will cause the plunger to fail.
