Reminders for Using These Products
- Storage: Within 12 months, temperature 5~40C, humidity 35~65% RH. Terminal solderability may deteriorate beyond this period.
- Environment: Avoid use and storage in gas corrosive environments (salt, acid, alkali, etc.).
- Handling: Avoid direct contact with terminals by bare hands due to oil secretions affecting solderability. Handle carefully to prevent damage from dropping.
- Terminal Bending: Do not excessively bend terminals to avoid wire fracture.
- Cleaning: Do not clean products; contact the manufacturer if cleaning is necessary.
- Magnetic Fields: Do not expose products to magnets or magnetic fields.
- Preheating: Preheat components before soldering. Temperature difference between solder and chip should not exceed 150C.
- Soldering Corrections: Post-mounting soldering corrections must be within specified conditions. Overheating can cause short circuits, performance degradation, or reduced lifespan.
- Thermal Design: Allow sufficient margin for thermal design as devices self-heat when powered on.
- Layout (Non-magnetic shield type): Careful coil layout is required on the PCB to prevent malfunctions due to magnetic interference.
