This document describes the features and characteristics of the new AV3,AVM3/AVT3,AVL3 74 subminiature switches with high precision AV (FS•FS-T) switches, including consistent quality and high precision, flux-resistant construction, various terminal options, installation protection measures, and multiple lever pivot positions. It is suitable for applications in communication equipment, vending machines, security systems, data systems, medical equipment, and VCRs.
Panasonic’s FS FS‑T series are new sub‑miniature switches with high precision and flux‑resistant construction. They offer a variety of terminal options, including solder, self‑standing PC, right‑angle, left‑angle, and .110 quick‑connect terminals, as well as optional insulation guards for safety.
The document lists ordering codes, electrical and mechanical characteristics, recommended mounting and soldering procedures, and environmental cautions. Typical applications include communication equipment, vending machines, security systems, data systems, and medical equipment.
