A6E-N DIP Switch
Safety Precautions
Do not wire the DIP Switch or touch any terminal of the Switch
while power is being supplied. Or it may result in electric shock.
• Use the DIP Switch within the rated voltage and current
ranges, otherwise the DIP Switch may have a shortened dura-
bility, radiate heat, or burn out. This particularly applies to the
instantaneous voltages and currents when switching.
● 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 rectifi-
cation 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.
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.
● 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 operat-
ing conditions before use.
● RoHS Compliant
The “RoHS Compliant” designation indicates that the listed mod-
els do not contain the six hazardous substances covered by the
RoHS Directive.
Reference: The following standards are used to determine com-
pliance 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.
