Or it may result in electric shock. Precautions for Safe Use • Use the DIP Switch within the rated voltage and current ranges, otherwise the DIP Switch may have a shortened durability, radiate heat, or burn out. This particularly applies to the instantaneous voltages and currents when switching. Correct Use ● Soldering • Observe the following conditions for soldering. 1. General Precautions for Soldering • Make sure that the actuator of DIP switch is set fully to either ON or OFF. • Before soldering, make sure there is no unnecessary space between the Switch and the PCB. • Do not solder the Switch more than twice including any rectification soldering. An interval of five minutes is required between the first and second soldering. 2. Automatic Soldering Bath (Flow Soldering) • Soldering temperature: 260°C max. Soldering time: 5 s max. for a 1.6-mm thick, single-side PCB • Confirm in advance that flux will not bubble up onto the side of the PCB to which the Switch is mounted. Depending on the type of Switch, the flux may have an adverse effect if it enters the Switch. ● Washing • Washing process is not applicable to this switch. It is recommended to use alcohol when wiping away the dust on surface is needed. ● Environment for Storage and Use • Please avoid storing with the following conditions in order to prevent discoloration or deterioration of terminals. 1) High temperature and high humidity atmosphere 2) Corrosive gas atmosphere 3) Locations which receive direct sunlight 4) Locations which receive sea breeze 5) Locations which receive large temperature difference This switch is not sealed to prevent to enter the dust particles and liquid perfectry. Test the switche under the actual operating conditions before use. ● RoHS Compliant The “RoHS Compliant” designation indicates that the listed models do not contain the six hazardous substances covered by the RoHS Directive. Reference: The following standards are used to determine compliance for the six substances. Lead : 1,000 ppm max. Mercury : 1,000 ppm max. Cadmium : 100 ppm max. Hexavalent chromium: 1,000 ppm max. PBB : 1,000 ppm max. PBDE : 1,000 ppm max. 3. Manual Soldering • 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 4. Using Flux • Making mistakes in the type of flux or in the amount or method in which it is applied can cause flux to enter the interior of the Switch, with adverse effects on Switch performance. Assess the proper flux, conditions, and methods prior to using it. • Application examples provided in this document are for reference only. In actual applications, confirm equipment functions and safety before using the product. • Consult your OMRON representative before using the product under conditions which are not described in the manual or applying the product to nuclear control systems, railroad systems, aviation systems, vehicles, combustion systems, medical equipment, amusement machines, safety equipment, and other systems or equipment that may have a serious influence on lives and property if used improperly. Make sure that the ratings and performance characteristics of the product provide a margin of safety for the system or equipment, and be sure to provide the system or equipment with double safety mechanisms.
