SOLDERING RECOMMENDATIONS
All terminals are solder plated. Proper sol-
dering and cleaning procedures must be
followed to maintain the reliability of AML
products during installation. An instruc-
tion sheet which outlines these proce-
dures is included with AML shipments.
You may also obtain a copy from your
MICRO SWITCH Sales Office. Request
PK 8518.
As a general guide, the following informa-
tion may be used:
Use a 280°C (538°F) solder iron tip, up to
6 seconds duration, with a 60-40 rosin
core solder. This allows the terminal to
heat quickly on the exterior of the housing
only, and greatly reduces the chance of
flux migrating inside the housing.
LED APPLICATION INFORMATION
For those devices without internal current
limiting resistors, suitable external control
of the LED current must be provided. It is
recommended that a minimum of 5 VDC
open circuit voltage with an appropriate
series resistance be used to drive LED de-
vices. This minimizes the effect of temper-
ature (current variation) on forward volt-
age of the LED.
Resistor values can be determined by
supply voltage or current for LED:
