USAGE GUIDELINES
HOW TO GET THE BEST RESULTS WITH
MEC SWITCHES ?
SOLDERING - SURFACE MOUNT
VERSIONS
These guidelines are offered to users of MEC Switches as
an aid to ensure successful and reliable switch operation.
Please see the technical specifications for details on operating and storage temperatures and soldering guidelines
to make sure you select the best switch for your application. When reflow soldering is taking place, MEC strongly
recommend that the temperature profile is analyzed and
compared with the temperature rating of the switch. It is
also important to monitor the accumulated heat buildup
from both the pre-heat zones and the solder zone.
For all methods - infrared, convection and vapor
phase. The upper limit 240 °C/40 sec must be observed. The soldering temperature profile must have
moderate temperature gradients. (JEDEC J-STD020E)
MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING
If switches are to be mounted in rows it is essential that
the recommendations regarding spacing are followed. PC
board thickness should be 1.4 ±0.2 mm and terminal hole
diameter should be 0.9 mm.
A mounting tool is available for through hole multimec™ 3
series switches.
SOLDERING AND CLEANING
MULTIMEC™ 3 SERIES
Multimec 3 series switches are fully sealed to IP67 specifications to prevent solder flux and aqueous based cleaning
solutions from entering the switch and contaminating the
contacts. The switches can be placed on the PC board with
other components and reflow soldered. Multimec™ 3 series
offers a high level of sealing, however, with aqueous solvent
solutions care must be taken to avoid the worst case situation with water jets, complete immersion into a liquid with a
temperature below the board or surface tension reducing
additives.
™
Recommended cleaning methods are demineralized water.
Any surface tension reducing agents, such as soap, must not
be used as they risk causing a potential leakage of the switch.
SOLDERING - THROUGH HOLE
VERSIONS
Hand soldering: max. 350 °C for max. 3 sec
Wave soldering: heat built up in the switch during pre-heating and soldering must not exceed the maximum operating temperature of the switch. Peak temperature must
not exceed 260 °C, and soldering time is max 10 sec. (IEC
60068-2-20 8).
