CIRCUIT DESIGN
Use the DIP Switch within the rated voltage and current ranges,
otherwise the DIP Switch may have a shortened life expectancy,
radiate heat, or burn out.
J
MOUNTING
Do not operate the DIP Switch while mounting, soldering, or wash-
ing the DIP Switch, otherwise the DIP Switch may deform due the
heat of the solder, the DIP Switch may malfunction due to the pe-
netration 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 in-
sertion machine incorporating a half-lead stopper to mount the DIP
Switch, make sure that the automatic insertion machine will not de-
form the terminals of the DIP Switch, otherwise the improper inser-
tion of the DIP Switch may result.
J
SOLDERING
Observe the following conditions when soldering the DIP Switch.
Automatic Soldering Bath
Soldering temperature: 260C max.

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.

WASHING
The A6E/A6ER DIP Switches are not washable.

HANDLING
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 ob-
ject, 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.
