Profile of Reflow Soldering (Max)
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 use
not to allow switch's surface temperature to exceed 250℃.
5-10 Other precautions for soldering
1) Reflow soldering should be performed, due to a solder iron at manual soldering might impact huge heat on such
a tiny switch product.
In case manual soldering is performed, please be noticed that the switch is not impacted by huge heat.
2) Following the soldering process, do no try to clean the switch with a solvent or the like.
3) As the conditions vary somehow on the kind of reflow soldering equipment, please make sure you have the right one before use.
4) 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.
5) Please use the proper amount of solder in order to prevent the flux penetration into the switch.
6) Switch terminals and PWB upper face shall be free from flux prior to soldering.
7) Note that if the load is applied to the terminals during soldering it might cause deformation and defects in electrical performance.
