FAQs

What does SPST On-On mean?

SPST stands for Single Pole, Single Throw. 'On-On' indicates that the switch has two stable positions, and in each position, it connects a circuit. It essentially allows you to select between two distinct circuit configurations.

What is the maximum current rating for this switch?

The switch is rated for 10A at 24V DC. For AC applications at 250V, it typically supports up to 15A, consistent with the 600 Series specifications.

Can this switch be used for momentary switching?

No, the 636NH/2 features an 'On-On' configuration, meaning both positions are stable and latched. It is not designed for momentary operation.

What type of terminals does the 636NH/2 have?

This model features tab terminals for easy and secure electrical connections.

What is the operating temperature range?

The switch is designed to operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +55°C.

How do I mount this switch?

The switch is designed for panel mounting and fits into a 12mm mounting bush. It is typically secured by a nut on the front of the panel.

What materials are used for the contacts?

The contacts are made from a Silver Nickel Alloy, known for its durability and good conductivity.

Troubleshooting

Switch does not change circuit state

Verify that the actuator is moving fully between positions. Check wiring connections to ensure they are secure and correctly placed on the SPST terminals.

Intermittent connection or poor conductivity

Ensure the terminals are clean and free of corrosion. Check that the connected wires are firmly crimped or attached. Verify the load's current and voltage do not exceed the switch's rating.

Switch feels loose in panel mount

Tighten the mounting nut securely. Ensure the panel cutout is the correct size for the 12mm mounting bush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High voltage capability (250V)
  • Durable build with polyamide actuator and Silver Nickel Alloy contacts
  • Easy panel mounting and connection via tab terminals
  • Wide operating temperature range for various environments
  • Reliable On-On SPST switching

Cons

  • Specific current rating (10A @ 24V DC, 15A @ 250V AC implied by other variants but explicitly 10A for 24V DC in description) requires careful matching to load.
  • SPST configuration limits it to simple on/off or circuit selection tasks.
  • Momentary function is not available in this specific On-On configuration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Panel Preparation: Ensure a panel cutout suitable for a 12mm mounting bush is available.
  2. Mounting: Insert the switch into the panel cutout and secure it using the provided mounting hardware (if applicable) or by tightening the retaining nut from the front.
  3. Wiring: Connect the load and power wires to the tab terminals. Ensure connections are firm and insulated.

Compatibility:

  • Voltage: Suitable for circuits operating up to 250V AC.
  • Current: Rated for 10A at 24V DC and can handle higher AC currents up to 15A at 250V AC (as per typical specifications for this series).
  • Environment: Operating temperature range is -20°C to +55°C.

Care:

  • Cleaning: To clean the exterior, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check terminal connections for tightness and corrosion. Ensure the actuator moves freely.
  • Environment: Protect the switch from excessive dust, moisture, and vibration beyond its rated specifications.
