Part Numbering

Part numbers are structured to indicate series code, actuator shape, clip contact mechanism, number of poles, switching function, and terminal style.

Mounting Instructions

Use PC boards with a hole diameter of 1mm.
Do not bend terminal pins before mounting.
Avoid applying excessive load on the actuator; use a bracket if necessary.
Bracket options: 140000640314, 140000640318 for side-by-side mounting, 140000640315 for increased strength.

Soldering Guidelines

Manual soldering: Max 380°C for 3 seconds.
Auto soldering: Max 275°C for 6 seconds, with pre-heating at 80°C to 120°C for up to 120 seconds.

Cleaning Instructions

Use fluorine or alcohol-based solvents.
Clean after terminal temperature falls below 90°C or after 5 minutes at room temperature.
Avoid ultrasonic cleaning.
