5.11. Precautions for soldering
1) This product is designed for reflow soldering. Please do not solder manually.
2) Do not wash the product with solvent or the like.
3) The soldering conditions will be different depending on reflow soldering machines.
Conditions of soldering shall be confirmed under actual production conditions.
4) Reflow soldering shall be performed in shorter time and at lower temperature. Otherwise
click ratio may be decreased.
5) Please set the proper volume of solder in order to prevent soldering flux ingress and float
of the products.
6) Please do not apply soldering flux to the terminals and mounting surface of PWB/FPC.
7) Note that if the load is applied to the terminals during soldering it might cause
deformation and defects in electrical performance.
