HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Do not apply strong force, shock, or pressure due to external stress. If the product is scratched or cracked, an electrical short circuit may occur
and the voltage may drop. Be careful when you touch the light-receiving surface or bend the product.
If you have the product, please grasp the non-power generation part.
Since it is sensitive to static electricity, please take necessary measures against static electricity when handling it.
If the amount of light transmission decreases or the incident light area decreases due to dirt on the light-receiving surface, the output will
decrease. Do not touch the light receiving surface with your bare hands.
If the product is reused or reattached, it may be damaged due to scratches, cracks, dirt, electrostatic discharge, etc.
If the productslightreceivingsurfaceisleftexposedtosunlight,thecharacteristicswilldeteriorateduetolightdeterioration.'
Do not wash the product with water, solvents, detergents, etc. Also, make sure that these liquids do not come into contact.
Do not touch with wet hands.
Do not use or store in locations where there are conditions such as gas corrosion (salt, acid, alkali, etc.).
Do not contact flammable gas, flammable liquid, or organic solvent.
If dropped, the characteristics listed in the catalog may not be obtained.
Do not supply external power to this product.
When disposing, please follow the sorting method of each municipality.
DESIGN PRECAUTIONS
This product is designed for indoor environment and low light use. The amount of power generation will vary greatly when used in an outdoor
environment or under high illuminance. The reliability has not been confirmed in the outdoor environment and high illuminance characteristics.
This product recommends spring contacts, conductive adhesives and heat seals for electrical connection to the circuit. Not suitable for
soldering, reflow and ACF.
The output may be reduced if the product is scratched or cracked. Take appropriate protection as needed.
Protect the package according to the operating environment to prevent water intrusion, condensation, and light-receiving surface impact.
For the package on the light receiving surface, use a material that transmits light. If the transmittance of the package on the light receiving
surface becomes low, the output of the solar cell will decrease according to the transmittance.
If there is a spot where the light receiving surface is not exposed to light, the amount of power generation will decrease. It is recommended to
design the light so that it illuminates the entire light receiving surface.
Irradiation with strong light causes a decrease in output called light deterioration. The degree of output reduction depends on the light intensity
and irradiation time.
Make sure that the built-in devices and circuits do not allow static electricity to flow into this product.
Product characteristics show the characteristics when light is incident perpendicularly to the light receiving surface. The maximum output is at
normal incidence, and the output decreases according to the incident angle of light.
If necessary, connect a backflow prevention diode to prevent the flow of current from the storage device.
When connecting multiple products in parallel, connect a bypass diode between the products if necessary.
Please note that the generated voltage will increase when exposed to strong light such as sunlight.
The output varies depending on the type of light source, even with the same illuminance.
Do not heat the product above 150°C. Also, if the product is heated in a free state even below 150°C, the product warpage will increase
depending on the temperature and time.
The output has temperature dependence. When the product temperature rises, the behavior of voltage drop/current rise, and when the product
temperature falls, behavior of voltage rise/current fall.
The output may be reduced if dust or dirt adheres to the light receiving surface.
When fixing the back side of the product with double-sided tape or adhesive, be careful of damage due to pressure or adhesive shrinkage.
Please be sure to request delivery specifications that provide further details on the features and specifications of the products for proper and safe use.
Please note that the contents may change without any prior notice due to reasons such as upgrading.
