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 260℃.
5.9. 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 products with a solvent or the like.
10.2. Do not use the products with beyond the rated current and voltage.
10.3. Do not apply excessive load to the terminals and the operating part.
10.4. Larger static load than specified and/or shock shall not be applied to the operating part.
