Safety Precautions

Do not use the product in any atmosphere or environment that

exceeds the ratings.

●Automatic Soldering

Automated Soldering Conditions (Jet Flow)

(1) Soldering temperature: 250

± 5°C

(2) Continuous soldering time: within 5

± 1 s

●Storage

Do not store the Connectors in locations subject to dust or high

humidity. Do not store the Connectors in locations close to sources of

gasses such ammonia gas or sulfide gas.

●Terminal Shapes

The terminals will deform if they are subjected to an excessive load,

which will in turn reduce solderability when mounting. Do not drop the

Connectors or handle them carelessly. Do not connect anything when

the Connectors are not mounted to a board. Doing so may deform the

terminals.

●Using an Automatic Solder Bath

Mask the mating portion with tape before you perform automatic

soldering to prevent flux or solder from entering the mating portion of

the Connector. Select and use a suitable masking tape.

●Application Precautions

• Confirm that there is no excessive misalignment or inclination in

the mating contact portion between the plug and socket before

mating the Connector. Make sure that the Connector is mated all

the way to the back. If the Connector is not mated all the way to the

back, contact reliability may be lost.

• Do not apply an extreme load during Connector insertion or

removal. The Connector may be damaged, and contact failure may

result. Twist the plug and socket as little as possible when mating

the Connector. Not doing so may deform the terminals or housing

or crack the housing.

• Do not insert a foreign object, such as tweezers, into the Connector

mating contact portion. Doing so may cause the plating to peel off

or deform the terminals.
