Notes on Using Active Optical Connector V Series
About safety remarks
Observe the following safety remarks to prevent accidents and injuries.
• Do not use these connectors beyond the specification sheets. The
usage outside of specified rated current, dielectric strength, and
environmental conditions and so on may cause circuitry damage via
abnormal heating, smoke, and fire, or eye or skin injuries by laser
beam.
• In order to avoid accidents, your thorough specification review is
appreciated. Please contact our sales office if your usage is out of
the specifications. Otherwise, Panasonic Corporation cannot
guarantee the quality and reliability.
• We are doing our best to constantly improve the quality and reliability
of our products. However, some electric items/components do in fact
fail despite our efforts. The durability of products also varies
depending on service environments and conditions. Please check
your product under actual service conditions before use. If you
continue to use a product in a poor condition, items with deteriorated
insulation performance may generate abnormal heat or smoke or
even ignite. The product's failure or end of service life may cause
accidents involving risks to human health, fire, or danger to the public
at large. We advise you to apply safety measures and regular
maintenance work, such as the use of redundant design, fireproofing,
and malfunction-preventing design, to rule out such accidents.
• Caution at the time of a breakage of optical fiber
When the optical fiber breaks, immediately shut off the power.
This product uses a laser diode (class 1) of non-visible light with
oscillation wavelength 850 nm. Do not look into the tip of an optical
fiber. The laser beam does not irradiate outside in normal operation,
but a breakage of the optical fiber may cause irradiation outside.
When the optical fiber breaks, be very careful not to injury at the fiber
tip.
Cautions when using the product
Cautions about the operating and storage environments
Please use the product in accordance with the conditions described in
these specifications.
The product quality cannot be warranted if the product fails because it
is used outside the conditions in these specifications.
• Product failure due to condensation cannot be warranted.
• Use caution for avoiding dust.
• The following environment may deteriorate the product's appearance
and affect the product characteristics, and should thus be avoided.
• An environment in which the possible adherence of chemicals such
as acid and alkali exists.
• In a gaseous atmosphere of salt, sulfide, etc.
• This product has a structure requiring an insertion force for mating,
but the mating may come off when an external force is applied to the
plug, impact is applied by dropping, or vibration is applied in
equipment. Sufficient caution should be used with the equipment to
avoid such incidents.
• The product cannot be used in a movable parts while the optical fiber
is bent. Such use may cause deformation of the receptacle or
breakage of the optical fiber.
• In order to avoid a load on the plug and receptacle applied by the
tensile force of the optical fiber, a redundant design is required with
respect to the optical fiber length.
• Use caution for wiring the optical fiber to avoid getting entangled or
twisting. Also, use adhesive tape for securing the optical fiber for
preventing excessive stress caused by vibration and impact.
Ex)
• Insertion and removal operations must be performed while the power
is off.
Insertion or removal operations in a live condition (with current and
voltage) may lead to a breakage.
• Use caution with regard to the generation and handling of static
electricity in the operating environment to protect the plug.
• Secure sufficient insulation distance between the external metal
enclosure of the plug and the peripheral components. The plug
enclosure, which is connected to the ground, may give rise to danger
from a short-circuit.
When the product is used in a different environment and in
accordance with a method other than described in this document,
please contact our sales office.
• Do not disassemble this product. Doing so will cause malfunction.
Also, do not remove the label. The product control number is there.

The plugs on each end of the optical fiber cable are different
(transmission side and receiving side).
The cable will not work if inserted incorrectly; therefore, please verify
the ends prior to installation.
The receiving end plug has an arrow printed on it for the purpose of
verification.
Please implement a measure to avoid incorrect insertion such as by

Insertion
Because this product has been designed with a thin mating structure
between the plug and receptacle for compact-sizing purposes,
excessive tilting during insertion or removal leads to product fracture
and separation of the solder section of terminals.
For avoiding breakage of the mating parts, confirm the alignment
before mating.
Mating of plug
Make sure the plug is securely inserted into the receptacle.
After mating, a gap remains between the PC board and plug.
Avoid applying excessive pressure.

Regarding soldering
Reflow soldering
• Measure the recommended profile temperature for reflow soldering
by placing a sensor on the PC board near the connector surface or
terminals. (Please refer to the specification for detail because the
temperature setting differs by products.)
• As for cream solder printing, screen printing is recommended.
• When setting the screen opening area and PC board foot pattern
area, refer the recommended PC board pattern and window size of
metal mask on the specification sheet, and make sure that the size of
board pattern and metal mask at the base of the terminals are not
increased.
• Please pay attentions not to provide too much solder. It makes miss
mating because of interference at soldering portion when mating.
Terminal
Paste solder
PC board foot pattern
• When mounting on both sides of the PC board and the connector is
mounting on the underside, use adhesives or other means to ensure
the connector is properly fixed to the PC board.
(Double reflow soldering on the same side is possible.)
• The condition of solder or flux rise and wettability varies depending
on the type of solder and flux. Solder and flux characteristics should
be taken into consideration and also set the reflow temperature and
oxygen level.
• Do not use resin-containing solder. Otherwise, the contacts might be
firmly fixed.
• Soldering conditions
Please use the reflow temperature profile conditions recommended
below for reflow soldering. Please contact our sales office before
using a temperature profile other than that described below (e.g.

end of the connector terminals.
• Be aware that soldering while applying a load on the connector
terminals may cause improper operation of the connector.
• Thoroughly clean the soldering iron.
• Flux from the solder wire may get on the contact surfaces during
soldering operations. After soldering, carefully check the contact
surfaces and clean off any solder before use.
• These connector is low profile type. If too much solder is supplied for
hand soldering, It makes miss mating because of interference at
soldering portion. Please pay attentions.
Solder reworking
• Finish reworking in one operation.
• In case of soldering rework of bridges. Do not use supplementary
solder flux. Doing so may cause contact problems by flux.
• Keep the soldering iron tip temperature below the temperature given
in Table A.

Pattern
Handling single components
• Make sure not to drop or allow parts to fall from work bench.
• Excessive force applied to the terminals could cause warping, come
out, or weaken the adhesive strength of the solder. Handle with care.
Cleaning flux from PC board
• Do not insert or remove the connector when it is not soldered.
Forcibly applied external pressure on the terminals can weaken the
adherence of the terminals to the molded part or cause the terminals
to lose their evenness.
• Keep the cleaning solvent clean and prevent the connector contacts
from contamination.
• Some cleaning solvents are strong and they may dissolve the molded
part and characters, so pure water passed liquid solvent is
recommended.
There is no need to clean this product.
If cleaning it, pay attention to the following points to prevent the
negative effect to the product.
Handling the PC board
Handling the PC board after mounting the connector
When cutting or bending the PC board after mounting the connector,
be careful that the soldered sections are subjected to excessive force.
Storage of connectors
• To prevent problems from voids or air pockets due to heat of reflow
soldering, avoid storing the connectors in areas of high humidity.
• Depending on the connector type, the color of the connector may
vary from connector to connector depending on when it is produced.
Some connectors may change color slightly if subjected to ultraviolet
rays during storage. This is normal and will not affect the operation of
the connector.
Other Notes
• Do not remove or insert the electrified connector (in the state of
carrying current or applying voltage).
• Dropping of the products or rough mishandling may bend or damage
the terminals and possibly hinder proper reflow soldering.
• Before soldering, try not to insert or remove the connector more than
absolutely necessary.
• When coating the PC board after soldering the connector to prevent
the deterioration of insulation, perform the coating in such a way so
that the coating does not get on the connector.
The soldered areas should not be subjected to force.
• When storing the connectors with the PC boards assembled and
components already set, be careful not to stack them up so the
connectors are subjected to excessive forces.
• Avoid storing the connectors in locations with excessive dust.
The dust may accumulate and cause improper connections at the
contact surfaces.
• There may be variations in the colors of products from different
production lots. This is normal.
• The connectors are not meant to be used for switching.
• Product failures due to condensation are not covered by warranty.
