USAGE GUIDELINES

HOW TO GET THE BEST RESULTS WITH
MEC SWITCHES ?

These guidelines are offered to users of MEC Switches as
an aid to ensure successful and reliable switch operation.
Please see the technical specifications for details on ope­rating and storage temperatures and soldering guidelines
to make sure you select the best switch for your applica­tion. When reflow soldering is taking place, MEC strongly
recommend that the temperature profile is analyzed and
compared with the temperature rating of the switch. It is
also important to monitor the accumulated heat buildup
from both the pre-heat zones and the solder zone.

Most standard accessories for multimec™ 5 series switches
are made from ABS plastic with a maximum operating
temperature of 65 °C. It is strongly recommended that
accessories are mounted after soldering of the switch. If
this is not possible care must be taken not to overheat the
accessories during the soldering process. The 1SS caps
are, however, made of high temperature materials and will
meet the same temperature specifications as the switches.
For accessories made from other plastic materials please
see multimec™ 5 series cap & bezel specifications.

MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING

If switches are to be mounted in rows it is essential that
the recommendations regarding spacing are followed. PC
board thickness should be 1.4 ±0.2 mm and terminal hole
diameter should be 0.9 mm.

All multimec™ 5 series caps are easily snapped onto the
switch modules and can be changed at a later time.

SOLDERING - THROUGH HOLE
VERSIONS

Hand soldering: max. 350 °C for max. 3 sec

Wave soldering: heat built up in the switch during

pre-heating and soldering must not exceed the
maximum operating temperature of the switch. Peak
temperature must not exceed 260 °C, and soldering
time is max 10 sec. (IEC 600-68-2-20 8)

SOLDERING - SURFACE MOUNT
VERSIONS

For all methods - infrared, convection and vapor
phase. The upper limit 240 °C/40 sec must be ob­served. The soldering temperature profile must have
moderate temperature gradients. (JEDEC J-STD­020E)

ROHS COMPLIANCE

As of 1 July 2006 MEC has completed the conversion
to RoHS compliance. For more info please see our
homepage www.apem.com

TEMPERATURE LIMITS:

Switch 160 °C
Accessories 65/85/160 °C

A mounting tool is available for through hole multimec™ 5
series switches.

SOLDERING AND CLEANING
MULTIMEC™ SERIES

Multimec™ 5 series switches are fully sealed to IP67 specifi­cations to minimize solder flux and aqueous based clea­ning solutions from entering the switch and contaminating
the contacts. The switches can be placed on the PC board
with other components and reflow soldered. Multimec™ 5
series offers a high level of sealing, however, with aqueous
solvent solutions care must be taken to avoid the worst
case situation with water jets, complete immersion into a
liquid with a temperature below the board or surface ten­sion reducing additives.

Recommended cleaning methods are demineralized
water. Any surface tension reducing agents, such as soap,
must not be used as they risk causing a potential leakage
of the switch.
