Wide Range of Locking-type
Models Available
• Character height of 4.8 or 3.2 mm makes for easy-to-
view display.
• Installation is easy with snap-in mounting.
• The series includes a complete range of locking-type
models that prevent accidental operation.

Note: 1. The classification diagrams show 4 Switch Units combined with End Caps to create 4-digit displays.
2. The model numbers given above are for Switch Units.
3. Models with +, - displays can also be produced. Add “-PM” after the “206” or “207” in the model number (e.g., A7BS-206-PM or A7BS-207-PM-1).
*1. For models with PCB terminals, add “-P2” to the model number (e.g., A7BS-
207-P2-1).
*2. Models with internal stoppers are also available. Add “-S@@” after the “206”
or “207” in the model number and specify the display range in the
@@.
For
example, to specify the range 0 to 6, add “-S06” to the model number (e.g.,
A7BS-206-S06-1).
For structural reasons, models with stoppers cannot be manufactured for
the A7BS-254 and A7BS-255.
*3. Models with diodes are available. Add “-D” to the model number (e.g., A7BS-
207-D or A7BS-207-D-1).

End Caps
End Caps are used on the Switch Units at each end and allow all the
Switch Units to be securely mounted to a panel. They come in pairs,
one for the left and one for the right.
Spacers
•
Spacers are used for creating extra space or gaps between the
Switch Units and have the same dimensions as the Switch Units
themselves.
•
There are also Spacers with engraved characters or symbols that
can be used for indicating units, such as time and length. (Refer to
the following table.) Consult your OMRON representative for
details.

Thumbwheel Switches with External Stoppers:
A7BS-20@-S(-1)
•
Use A7BS-S Stopper Pins to make dial display restrictions for these Switches.
•
Insert the Stopper Pins in the positions required to give the desired display range. For
example, for a display range of 0 to 5, insert a Stopper Pin at position 1 (see following
diagram) to stop the display from going above 5 when the (+) button is pressed, and insert
a Stopper Pin at position 2 to stop the display from going below 0 when the (-) button is
pressed.
Refer to page 7 for details.

Output Codes/Terminals
•
Switches with output codes 06 or 07 both use binary coded decimal
but Switches with output code 07 have a component-adding
provision. Similarly, Switches with output codes 54 or 55 both use
binary coded hexadecimal but Switches with output code 55 have
a component-adding provision.
•
How to Read Output Codes
For example, when the dial position is “3,” the common terminal C
on the Switch is connected to terminals 1 and 2. When the Switch
is inserted into the Connector, the common terminal C becomes
connector terminal 2, and terminals 1 and 2 become connector
terminals 4 and 5 respectively.
