10.2 Precautions on rating
Avoid using in exceeded the rated temperature range, rated voltage, or rated current.
Usage when the ratings are exceeded could lead to wire breakage, burning, or other serious fault.
10.3 Fail-safe
Be sure to provide an appropriate fail-safe function on your product to prevent a second damage that may be caused by the
abnormal function or the failure of our product.
10.4 Inrush current
If an inrush current (or pulse current or rush current) that significantly exceeds the rated current is applied to the product,
overheating could occur, resulting in wire breakage, burning, or other serious fault.
10.5 Corrosive gas
Please refrain from use since contact with environments with corrosive gases (sulfur gas [hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide,
etc.], chlorine, ammonia, etc.) or oils (cutting oil, silicone oil, etc.) that have come into contact with the previously stated
corrosive gas environment will result in deterioration of product quality or an open from deterioration due to corrosion of
product electrode, etc. We will not bear any responsibility for use under these environments.
11. Precautions for Use
This product is designed to be mounted by soldering. If you want to use other mounting method, for example, using a
conductive adhesive, please consult us beforehand.
Also, if repeatedly subjected to temperature cycles or other thermal stress, due to the difference in the coefficient of thermal
expansion with the mounting substrate, the solder (solder fillet part) in the mounting part may crack.
The occurrence of cracks due to thermal stress is affected by the size of the land where mounted, the solder volume, and
the heat dissipation of the mounting substrate. Carefully design it when a large change in ambient temperature is assumed.

11.8 Cleaning
Excessive ultrasonic oscillation during cleaning can cause the PCBs to resonate, resulting in cracked chips or broken solder
joints. Before starting your production process, test your cleaning equipment / process to insure it does not degrade this
product.
11.9 Storage and transportation
Storage period
Use the product within 6 months after delivery.
If you do not use the product for more than 6 months, check solderability before using it.
Storage conditions
• The products shall be stored in a room not subject to rapid changes in temperature and
humidity. The recommended temperature range is -10°C to +40°C. The recommended relative
humidity range is 15% to 85%.
Keeping the product in corrosive gases, such as sulfur, chlorine gas or acid may cause the
poor solderability.
• Do not place the products directly on the floor; they should be placed on a palette so that they
are not affected by humidity or dust.
• Avoid keeping the products in a place exposed to direct sunlight, heat or vibration.
• Do not keep products in bulk packaging. Bulk storage could result in collisions between the
products or between the products and other parts, resulting in chipping or wire breakage.
• Avoid storing the product by itself bare (i.e. exposed directly to air).
Transportation
Excessive vibration and impact reduces the reliability of the products. Exercise caution when
handling the products.
11.10 Resin coating (including moisture-proof coating)
When the product is coated/molded with resin, its electrical characteristics may change.
A wire breakage issue may occur by mechanical stress caused by the resin, amount/cured shape of resin, or operating
condition etc.
Some resins contain impurities or hydrolyzable chlorine, which could result in corrosion of the conducting materials, leading
to wire breakage.
So, please pay your careful attention when you select resin in case of coating/molding the products with the resin.
Prior to use the coating resin, please make sure no reliability issue is observed by evaluating products mounted on your
board.
11.11 Mounting conditions
Check the mounting condition before using.
Using mounting conditions (nozzles, equipment conditions, etc.) that are not suitable for products may lead to pick up errors,
misalignment, or damage to the product.
11.12 Operating environment
Do not use this product under the following environmental conditions as it may cause deterioration of product quality.
(1) In the corrodible atmosphere such as acidic gases, alkaline gases, chlorine, sulfur gases, organic gases and etc.
(the sea breeze, Cl2, H2S, NH3, SO2, NO2, etc)
(2) In the atmosphere where liquid such as organic solvent, may splash on the products.
(3) In the atmosphere where the temperature/humidity changes rapidly and it is easy to dew.
11.13 Mounting density
If this product is placed near heat-generating products, be sure to implement sufficient heat-dissipating measures.
If this product is subjected to a significant amount of heat from other products, this could adversely affect product quality,
resulting in a circuit malfunction or failure of the mounted section. Also, be sure that the product is used in a manner so that
the heat that the product is subjected to from other products does not exceed the upper limit of the rated operating
temperature for the product.
