Apply AC 250V(50Hz or 60Hz) between the terminals
(except terminals of LED) for one minute. If the
switch has a metal cover, apply it to the metal
coverand between the terminals for one minute.
Press the center of operating part at the speed of
2 times per second, and measure bounce at
ON and OFF. Refer to figure below.

5. Condition for soldering
5-1. Reflow soldering
1)Solder paste is to be applied to the soldering pads by a dispenser or screen-printing.
2)For screen-printing, the recommended thickness of metal mask is 0.15mm.
3)It is recommended to use a reflow furnace with upper and lower heater combination capability
4)Temperatures of both pre-heating and main heating of the reflow furnace are to be set in
accordance with the following temperature profile. Care must be taken to ensure that the
peak temperature does not rise higher than 250℃. The temperatures in the following profile
are the ones on the top surface of Lumiswitch. As temperatures of the switch and the
surface of PCB are not equal depending on the kind of PCB and furnace, please check
them carefully prior to applying reflow soldering.
5)After reflow soldering, care must be taken not to handle LUMISWITCH until its temperature
cools and returns to normal temperature.
6)This product is a lead- free correspondence product.

5-2. Manual soldering
1)It is recommended to use 6/4 solder or solder containing silver (Ag).
2)Use a soldering iron of 20W or less and keep the temperature of tip to less than 350℃.
Soldering should be done only one time and within 3 seconds.
3)After soldering, care must be taken not to handle the LUMISWITCH until its temperature
cools and returns to normal temperature.
5-3. Cleaning
