Precautions
Please refer to "Common Precautions" for correct use.
Soldering
Connecting to Solder Terminals
Complete the soldering at the iron tip temperature of 350 to
400°C within 5 seconds, and do not apply any external force
for 1 minute after soldering. Soldering at an excessively high
temperature or soldering for more than 5 seconds may
deteriorate the characteristics of the Switch.
Connecting to PCB terminals
When using automatic soldering baths, we recommend
soldering at 260±5°C within 5 seconds. Make sure that the
liquid surface of the solder does not flow over the edge of
the board.
When soldering terminals manually, complete the soldering
at the iron tip temperature between 350 to 400°C within 3
seconds, and do not apply any external force for 1 minute
after soldering. When applying solder, keep the solder away
from the case of the Switch and do not allow solder or flux to
flow into the case.
Mounting
Use M2.3 mounting screw with plane washers or spring washers
to securely mount the Switch. Tighten the screws to a torque of
0.23 to 0.26 N·m {2.3 to 2.7 kgf·cm}.
Using Micro Loads
Using a model for ordinary loads to open or close the contact of
a micro load circuit may result in faulty contact. Use models that
operate in the following range. However, even when using micro
load models within the following operating range, if inrush
current occurs when the contact is opened or closed, it may
increase the contact wear and so decrease durability. Therefore,
insert a contact protection circuit where necessary. The N-level
reference value applies for the minimum applicable load. This
value indicates the malfunction reference level for the reliability
level of 60% (λ60).
(JIS C5003)
The equation, λ60=0.5×10-6/operation indicates that the
estimated malfunction rate is less than operations with
a reliability level of 60%.
