Datasheet

Cautions and Warnings:
The following conditions apply to all goods within the product series of Slide Switch
ofWürth Elektronik eiSos GmbH & Co. KG:
General:
• This mechanical component is designed and manufactured for use in general electronic equipment.
• Würth Elektronik must be asked for written approval (following the PPAP procedure) before incorporating the components into any
equipment in fields such as military, 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 and/or if there is the possibility of direct damage or human injury.
• Mechanical components that will be used in safety-critical or high-reliability applications, should be pre-evaluated by the customer.
• The component is designed and manufactured to be used within the datasheet specified values. If the usage and operation conditions
specified in the datasheet are not met, the switch, pins or termination may be damaged or dissolved.
• Do not drop or impact the components, as the switch, pins or termination may flake apart.
• Prevent any damage or scratches on the switch, especially on the actuator.
• Würth Elektronik products are qualified according to international standards, which are listed in each product reliability report. Würth
Elektronik does not warrant any customer qualified product characteristics beyond Würth Elektronik’s specifications, for its validity and
sustainability over time.
• 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 specifications for standard products also apply to customer specific products.
Product specific:
Soldering:
• The solder profile must comply with the Würth Elektronik technical soldering specification. All other profiles will void the warranty.
• A maximum of two reflow cycles are recommended.
• All other soldering methods are at the customers’ own risk.
Cleaning and Washing:
• If a series is washable, the general information section in the datasheet will contain the washability guidelines. Should there be no
information regarding washability, the product has not been constructed to withstand a washing process. Washing agents used during
the production to clean the customer application might damage or change the characteristics of the component, body, pins and/or
termination. Washing agents may have a negative effect on the long-term functionality of the product.
If the parts are washable, hermetic:
• Cleaning agents used to clean the customers’ applications, may damage or change the characteristics of the component, body, pins
and termination.
• Please do not immerse any washable products into water or cleaning agents or put them in locations exposed to water completely.
• Do not clean washable series immediately after soldering. The cleaning agent may be absorbed into the switch through respiration while
the switch cools.
• Please do not press actuator or change status /position during the cleaning and washing process.
• Using a brush during the cleaning process could deform function relevant areas. Therefore, we do not recommend using a brush during
the PCB cleaning process.
Potting and Coating:
• If the product is potted in the costumer application, the potting material might shrink or expand during and after hardening. Shrinking
could lead to an incomplete seal, allowing contaminants into the core. Expansion could damage the core or wire contacts. We
recommend a manual inspection after potting or coating to avoid these effects.
Storage Conditions:
• A storage of Würth Elektronik products for longer than 12 months is not recommended. Within other effects, the terminals may suffer
degradation, resulting in bad solderability. Therefore, all products shall be used within the period of 12 months based on the day of
shipment.
• Do not expose the components to direct sunlight.
• The storage conditions in the original packaging are defined according to DIN EN 61760-2.
• If there is a moisture sensitive component, the storage condition in the original packaging is defined according to IPC/JEDEC-J-
STD-033. It is also recommended to return the component to the original moisture proof bag and reseal the moisture proof bag again.
Handling:
• Do not repeatedly operate the switch with excessive force. It may damage or deform the switch resulting in malfunction.
• Design the right angle part considering the wave soldering process, in order to avoid that the parts will not touch the soldering wave
during the soldering process and to protect the switch part with cover fixture. Melting of the switch might cause malfunction.
• In case a product requires particular handling precautions, in addition to the general recommendations mentioned here before, these will
appear on the product datasheet.
• Do not use sharp headed tools to operate the switch. Sharp headed tools may damage the switch surface and might result in
malfunction of the switch.
• Use of our slide switch in outdoor environment or environments with high density of chemical material or corrosive gas should be
avoided.
• For Switch products, we do not recommend to stack PCB's, in order to avoid malfunction of the switch.
These cautions and warnings comply with the state of the scientific and technical knowledge and are believed to be accurate and reliable.
However, no responsibility is assumed for inaccuracies or incompleteness.
