· After unpacking, store this device in an environment at a temperature of 25 °C and a
humidity below 60%, and perform reflow soldering on this device within 24 hours.
· Thermal stress applied to the device during reflow soldering differs depending on the PC
boards and reflow oven being used.
· When setting the reflow conditions, make sure that the reflow soldering process does not
degrade device reliability.

Precautions for use
Sensor types with a pixel size of 100 μm are vulnerable to static electricity. If this may create problems, take the following measures:
· Wear anti-static gloves when handing the sensors. Also wear anti-static clothing and a grounded wrist band to prevent damage by static
electricity generated from friction.
· Avoid directly placing the sensors on a workbench or floor where static electricity might be charged.
· Provide ground connection to the work table and work floor to discharge static electricity.
· Ground the tools used to handle the sensors, such as tweezers and soldering irons.
Install an appropriate protection circuit for the power supply, equipment, and measuring instrument according to the application, in order
to prevent overvoltage and overcurrent damage.
Recommended soldering conditions (S10985 series)
· Temperature of soldering iron tip: 350 °C Max.
· Soldering time: 3 s Max.
· Soldering Point: at least 1 mm away from the root of the terminal
· Times: once
