Terminal Connection Correct Incorrect When soldering lead wires to the Switch, make sure that the capacity of the soldering iron is 60 W maximum. Do not take more than 5 s to solder any part of the Switch. The characteristics of the Switch will deteriorate if a soldering iron with a capacity of more than 60 W is (preventing malfunctions) applied to any part of the Switch for 5 s or more. • Subjecting the switch to continuous vibration or shock may result in Operation contact failure or faulty operation due to abrasion powder and in • Make sure that the switching frequency or speed is within the reduced durability.
