Precautions
For Mounting
• When mounting the connector by manual soldering, observe the
following precautions to ensure contact reliability.
1. Conditions for manual soldering: 350±10 °C 3±1 sec
2. Do not apply an excessive amount of solder. Excessive solder
will cause the flux to rise.
3. Do not apply the soldering iron to the mount attachments using
force. Doing so may cause the connectors to change shape.
4. Do not apply the soldering iron to any parts of the connector
other than the mount attachments. Doing so may cause the
connector to change shape.
• There are case that the following phenomenon is sometimes
occurred. However there are no bad influences to functions and
performance of the connector.
1. Occurrence of black spot to plastic parts
2. Occurrence of a weld line to plastic parts
3. Occurrence of the blister to the plastic parts
4. Occurrence of discoloration to plating parts of terminal and
hold-down or plastic parts of slider after reflow.
• Be careful of board warping. The connector flatness is 0.1 mm
max. A large amount of warping, however, may result in soldering
faults.
• Do not apply excessive force on the connector before mounting it.
The connector may be damaged, resulting in faulty contacts. Do
not insert the FPC/FFC and lock the slider before mounting the
connector.
• Be careful not to apply an excessive load on the board when
performing the following actions. The connector may be damaged,
resulting in faulty contacts.
1. Dividing multi-cavity boards.
2. Securing a board with screws.
Storage
1. Do not store the connectors in locations subject to dust or high
humidity.
2. Do not store the connectors in locations close to sources of gasses
such ammonia gas or sulfide gas.
