Note: Silicon rubber is used to increase resistance to the environment. Silicon rubber, however, can generate silicon gas. (This can occur at room temperature, but the
amount of silicon gas generated increases at higher temperatures.) Silicon gas will react as a result of arc energy and form silicon oxide (SiO2). If silicon oxide
accumulates on the contacts, contact interference can occur and can interfere with the device. Before using a Switch, test it under actual application conditions
(including the environment and operating frequency) to confirm that no problems will occur in actual.

Dog Design
Speed and Angle of Dog and Relationship with Actuator
Before designing a dog, carefully consider the operating speed and angle of the dog (φ) and their relationship with the shape of the actuator. The
optimum operating speed (V) of a standard dog at an angle of 30° to 45° is 0.5 m/s maximum.

θ φ V max. (m/s) y
45° 45° 0.5 0.5 to 0.8 (TT)
50° 40° 0.6 0.5 to 0.8 (TT)
60° to 55° 30° to 35° 1.3 0.5 to 0.7 (TT)
75° to 65° 15° to 25° 2 0.5 to 0.7 (TT)
Note: The above y values indicate the ratio ranges based on TT (total travel).
Therefore, the optimum pressing distance of the dog is between 50% and
80% (or 50% and 70%).
