Cautions and warnings for REDFIT IDC SKEDD Connectors:
The following conditions apply to all REDFIT IDC SKEDD Connectors (hereinafter referred
as to “electronic component”, “component” or “connector”) of Würth Elektronik eiSos
GmbH & Co. KG.
General:
• This electronic component is designed and developed with the intention for use in general electronics equipment.
• Before incorporating the components into any equipment in the field such as aerospace, aviation, nuclear control, submarine,
transportation, (automotive control, train control, ship control), transportation signal, disaster prevention, medical, public information
network etc. where higher safety and reliability are especially required or if there is possibility of direct damage or injury to human body,
Würth Elektronik must be asked for a written approval.
• In addition, even electronic component in general electronic equipment, when used in electrical circuits that require high safety,
reliability functions or performance, the sufficient reliability evaluation-check for the safety must be performed by the user before usage.
• The connector is designed and manufactured to be used within the datasheet specified values.
• Do not use the connector outside the datasheet specifications.
• Prevent any damage or scratches on the connector, especially on the actuator.
• Direct mechanical impact to the product shall be prevented (e.g overlapping of the PCB´s).
• The responsibility for the applicability of the customer specific products and use in a particular customer design is always within the
authority of the customer. All technical specification for standard products do also apply to customer specific products.
• REDFIT IDC SKEDD Connectors are designed to be used along with Würth Elektronik counterparts and tools. Würth Elektronik cannot
ensure the reliability of these components while being used with other products.
Product specific:
Cleaning and Washing:
• The connector is not constructed for washing, so washing can cause malfunction afterwards.
• Cleaning agents that are used to clean the customer applications might damage or change the characteristics of the component, body,
pins and termination.
• Please do not submerse our washable products into water or cleaning agents or put them in locations exposed to water completely.
• When cleaning by hand (brushing), please do not use excessive force on our connectors to avoid malfunction afterwards, because
function relevant areas might get deformed.
• We recommended a solution without organic acid (preserve the plating against corrosion) volatile, without residues and compatible with
the plastic.
• We recommend to perform tests and to let a component in immersion in the solution 8 to 12 hours and see if there is a degradation.
Storage Conditions:
• REDFIT IDC SKEDD Connectors are considered MSL1 into closed original packaging and are not subject to storage time limits regarding
the moisture sensivity, but all products shall be used before the end of the period of 12 months based on the products date code.
Handling and Processing:
• Do not repeatedly operate the connector with excessive force. It may damage or deform the contact dome which results in malfunction.
• In case a connector requires particular handling precautions, in addition to the general recommendations mentioned here before, these
will appear on the product datasheet.
• The connector is designed for the specified mating cycles, all mating cycles above the specified mating cycles are at own risk.
• It´s necessary that the connector is plugged and unplugged at a 90° angle to the PCB, if not, it may cause in reduced mating cycles
and/or damage the connector.
• Do not solder this connector! The Soldering Process damages the SKEDD functionality.
• It´s designed only to be plugged directly into the PCB.
• The cable has to be first pressed to the IDC side, after that, it can be plugged into the PCB.
• It has to be ensured that the connector is fully plugged into the PCB, otherwise, the retention force might be reduced and the signal/
power connection might be interrupted or lost.
• We recommend using the Würth Elektronik Tool 600600282800 with the insert 4900001 to press the connector.
• It´s recommended to secure the Flat Ribbon Cable on the PCB or external.
• We recommend the cable to go straight ahead from the connector. If bending is necessary, be sure to bend the cable at least 20mm
away from the edge of the connector. Don’t bend directly at the connector’s edge. Before and after bending, be sure that the connector
is fixed in its place with no pressure on it.
• The Contacts have a play in the Housing, this is necessary for the functionality of the SKEDD Contacts.

This electronic component has been designed and developed for usage in general electronic equipment only. This product is not authorized for use in equipment where a higher safety standard and reliability standard is especially required or where a failure of the product is reasonably expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing such use. Moreover Würth Elektronik eiSos GmbH
& Co KG products are neither designed nor intended for use in areas such as military, aerospace, aviation, nuclear control, submarine, transportation (automotive control, train control, ship control), transportation signal, disaster prevention, medical, public information network etc.. Würth Elektronik eiSos GmbH & Co KG must be informed about the intent of such usage before the design-in stage. In addition, sufficient reliability evaluation checks for safety
must be performed on every electronic component which is used in electrical circuits that require high safety and reliability functions or performance.
