NOTES
1. Use of a cover is recommended 
when using this device in order to 
prevent scraps, dust, dirt, etc., from 
getting inside of the receptacle.
2. PC board design
Please refer to the recommended PC 
board pattern to ensure the strength of 
soldered portion of terminals.
3. Soldering
1) Manual soldering
• Please set up temperature and applied 
time of soldering iron as indicated in 
specification sheet.
• Please use soldering iron after 
confirming removal of dispersed solder 
flux on the contact surface by use of 
magnifying glass after each soldering.
• Please properly clean soldeing iron.
2) Reflow soldering
• Screen printing is recommended for 
cream solder printing.
• Screen thickness of 0.15mm is 
recommended for cream solder printing.
• When applying different thickness of 
screen, please consult us.
• Depending upon size of connector, self 
alignments may not be expected.
Please pay attention to align terminals 
and soldered pads.
• The following diagram shows the 
recommended reflow soldering 
temperature profile.
• The temperature measured on the PC 
board surface near connector terminals.
• After reflow soldering, in case of PC 
board surface the reverse side using 
reflow soldering, for example an adhesive 
and so on connector of fixed disposition.
3) Rework of soldering portion
• Rework is one time.
• In case of soldering rework of bridges. 
Please use a flat-head soldering iron and 
don’t use supplementary solder flux.
• Please use the soldering iron under 
specification’s temperature
4. Since excessive force on the 
terminals will cause deformation and 
the integrity of the soldering will be 
lost during reflow soldering, avoid 
dropping or rough handling of the 
product.
5. PC board warpage should be 
controlled less than 0.03mm to entire 
length of the connector.
6. Repeated bending of terminals and 
holding parts can result in terminals 
breaking.
7. Regarding after soldering 
connectors on PC boards
• After mounting connectors on PC 
boards, do not apply excessive loads to 
the connector by piling up the boards.
• Please do not add the force to the 
connector during assembled connector 
on PC board.
8. This connector has metal shell for 
preventing EMI, when designing an 
enclosure the followings should be 
considered. Guide for plug entrance 
should be arranged in order to prevent 
distorted insertions. Provide a cover 
to reinforce the metal shell portions of 
the receptacle.
9. We recommend the use of a 
purified-water-based solution for 
cleaning the PC board. If you use an 
alcohol-based solution, the surface of 
the molded part may be whitened. In 
addition, please carefully monitor the 
contamination degree of the solution 
to prevent the solution from re-
contaminating the connector 
contacts.
10. Others
To prevent insulation deterioration of PC 
board after soldering, please avoid 
adhesion coating agent to terminals in 
case of coating.
