Profile of Reflow Soldering (Max) Time [sec]
The condition mentioned above is a temperature on the PWB surface
on which parts are mounted. There are cases where board's temperature
greatly differs from switch's surface temperature, depending on board's
material, size, thickness, etc. Please care, therefore, should be used
not to allow switch's surface temperature to exceed 250 .
The above temperature profile is the conditions for heat resistance test.
Therefore, conditions of soldering shall be confirmed under actual
production conditions.
5-9 Other precautions for soldering
1) Do not overheat when you solder with soldering iron.
2) Following the soldering process, do no try to clean the switch with a solvent or the like.
3) Safeguard the switch assembly against flux penetration from its top side.
4) As the conditions vary somehow on the kind of reflow soldering equipment, please make sure you have the right one before use.
5) As the click ratio may deteriorate when a high heat load is applied, reflow soldering should be performed in the shortest period and
at the lowest temperature possible.
6) Please use the proper amount of solder in order to prevent the flux penetration into the switch.
7) Switch terminals and PWB upper face shall be free from flux prior to soldering.
8) Note that if the load is applied to the terminals during soldering it might cause deformation and defects in electrical performance.

10. PRECAUTIONS IN USE
10-1 Do not clean the switch with a solvent or the like.
10-2 Never use the product beyond the rated current and voltage.
10-3 Do not apply excessive load to the terminals and the operating part.
10-4 Larger stress than specified and/or shock shall not be applied to the operating part.
10-5 The stress shall be not applied to the upper face of the switch.
10-6 The switch will be broken, if you give larger stress than specified while operating. Take most care not to give both
upward and downward stress to the switch when you operate it.
10-7 As the switch may be broken, please do no apply a load of more than 5N to the switch bosses.
10-8 After mounting the switches on PWBs, please do not stack too many PWBs in order to avoid excessive load
to the switch mounted area.
10-9 The dimensions of a pattern for mounting a printed circuit board shall refer to the recommended dimensions
in the outline drawing.
10-10 Use of organic acid flux shall be avoided because it may cause corrosion of the switch. Please make sure
the type of flux before you use it.
10-11 As this switch is designed for reflow soldering, if you place it at the edge of PWB for convenience, then flux may
get into the sliding part of the switch during automatic dip soldering after being mounted, so do not apply auto dip
after being mounted.
10-12 If the switch is given stress from the side, the cover may drop off and it may result in damages to switch functions.
Therefore, please handle it with extreme care.
10-13 The operating part should be moved to the appointed position in order to ensure proper operation.
10-14 Do not give stress to the upper face of the switch while operating and use the switch under given stress.
10-15 If you use this product in one of the following environmental conditions, progress of sulfaration and oxidization
on the contact part (silver) will be accelerated, which may cause contact failure. Therefore, be careful about the
operation environment.
1) Around a sulfarate hot spring where sulfide gas is generated.
2) In case this product is always used in a place where exhaust gas from automobiles exist.
10-16 If you push the edge of the operating part, the switch might not operate properly. Therefore, pressure to the operating
part shall be applied to the whole surface equally and avoid the pressured to the specific one portion.
