J MOUNTING Do not operate the DIP Switch while mounting, soldering, or washing the DIP Switch, otherwise the DIP Switch may deform due the heat of the solder, the DIP Switch may malfunction due to the penetration of the washing agent, or the machine incorporating the DIP Switch may operate or be set incorrectly. An automatic insertion machine incorporating a body stopper is available for mounting the DIP Switch. When usingan automatic insertion machine incorporating a half-lead stopper to mount the DIP Switch, make sure that the automatic insertion machine will not deform the terminals of the DIP Switch, otherwise the improper insertion of the DIP Switch may result. Soldering temperature: 350°C at the tip of the soldering iron. Soldering time: 3 s max. for a 1.6-mm thick, single-side PCB Set the pins of the DIP Switch to OFF before soldering the DIP Switch. Before soldering the DIP Switch on a PCB, make sure that there is no unnecessary space between the DIP Switch and PCB. Before soldering the DIP Switch on a multilayer PCB, make sure that the DIP Switch will not bedeformed by the solderingheat onthe pattern or land of the multilayer PCB. Do not solder the DIP Switch more thantwice includingrectification soldering. An interval of five minutes is required between the first and second solderings. Make sure that there is no flux rise on the surface of the PCB. PCB surface Flux J SOLDERING Observe the following conditions when soldering the DIP Switch. Automatic Soldering Bath Soldering temperature: 260°C max. Soldering time: 5 s max. for a 1.6-mm thick, single-side PCB J WASHING Reflow Soldering The A6E/A6ER DIP Switches are not washable. J HANDLING Soldering temperature (°C) 2 minutes max. 202 Soldering time 20 seconds max. Donot apply excessiveoperatingforceto theDIP Switch, otherwise the DIP Switch may be damaged or deformed, thus causing the switch mechanism to malfunction as a result. Apply an operating force not exceeding 200% of the maximum rated operating force to the DIP Switch. Set the DIP Switch incorporating slide pins with a tiny, rounded object, such as the tip of a ball-point pen or small screwdriver. Do not set the DIP Switch using tweezers or any other sharp object, which may damage the DIP Switch. Do not set the DIP Switch using the point of a mechanical pencil, otherwise lead powder or fragments may fall into the DIP Switch and internal circuit board, causing the DIPSwitchtomalfunctionand reducingthe dielectric strength of the circuit board.
