General information: This guideline provides general information about the handling of our Detect switches. 2. Recommend soldering profiles 2.1 Recommend soldering profiles for SMT parts Please download our Hot-Air Reflow standard profile from our website under the following link: http://www.weonline.com/web/en/passive_bauelemente_standard/download_c enter_pbs/Download_Center_PBS.php?p=2#dbfilter File name: “Standard Soldering Profile” -All our products are proven and tested by Wuerth Elektronik soldering test standard. -Our parts are proven based on 1 side PCB with 1.6mm thickness and a solder paste thickness of 150µm -When soldering, set the actuator on the release position. 2.2 Recommend soldering profiles for THT parts Please download our soldering standard from our website under the following link: http://www.weonline.com/web/en/passive_bauelemente_standard/download_c enter_pbs/Download_Center_PBS.php?p=2#dbfilter File name: “Standard Soldering Profile” I:\User_Groups_Only\17_EMC_Product_&_Development\Article_Master\eiCan\Switch\SwDESV\Master_Data\05_Precaution\Precauti on_Detect Switch_Rev0_20140529.doc Precautions for the use of Detect Switch Revision 1 Valid from 07.05.2002 page 3 of 5 This document is only valid on the date of printing: 02/12/2014 -All our products are proven and tested by Wuerth Elektronik soldering test standard. -Our parts are proven based on 1 side PCB with 1.6mm thickness and a solder paste thickness of 150µm -When soldering, set the actuator on the release position. Recommendation for hand soldering: 350°C for 3 sec. max Please take care, that the flame does not get in touch with the plastic materials, it can cause melting and result in malfunction. 2.3 Recommendation of vapor phase soldering Our Detect Switch Products are not qualified via VPH. Qualification of usability must be approved on customer side for this process, gladly with free samples offered by Wuerth Elektronik. 2.4 Cleaning, Washing and Coating Our Detect Switch are non-washable series and can not be coated. Parts out of this series are not construed for washing and cleaning, so washing/cleaning can cause the inflow of flux, water, liquid or other particles and cause the malfunction afterwards. If our product is potted in customer applications, the potting material might shrink during and after hardening. Accordingly to this the product is exposed to the pressure of the potting material with the effect that the product is possibly damaged by this pressure and so the electrical as well as the mechanical characteristics are endanger to be affected. After the potting material is cured, the products needs to be checked if any malfunction or destructions on the product have occurred.

Handling of the component Please set a delay time according to our define bounce. Do not repeatedly operate the switch with excessive force , it could cause damage or deformation of the contacts and result in malfunction. Our strength test is tested or performed according to the 500gf with strait vertical force and with max. load defined in the specification on the switch. Our measurement point is based on total travel position. By Designing, the switch in different distances may have different result. Design the operation distance so, so that it can reach the height 3.2mm or lower at least. Recommend is to design the switch so, that the operation point can reach the total travel position. Please operate our switch only from the direction, which is draw in the specification. Otherwise it may can cause malfunction or shorten the life of the switch. Do not apply an excessive electrical load to the contacts, otherwise the contacts may weld, resulting in a short circuit or burning. Do not stack the printed circuit board that have the switches mounted on them. The vertical pressure may cause the damage to the switch. Please avoid using our switch in heavy, outer environments or environments with extremely density of chemicals or gas.

Storage & operation condition Storage temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C Operation temperature : -40°C ~ 85°C 5. Packaging Our SMD parts are generally packed on tape on reel. Our THT parts are generally packed in bulk/tube . For details packaging information, please refer to our catalogue or specification. 6. Compliance Wuerth Elektronik products are RoHS compliance products. For a 3rd parties RoHs report, please contact us. For any further information, please feel free to contact our sales representatives.
