(4) Notes for mounting

Avoid mounting multiple connectors of this type on the same circuit board.

(If it is unavoidable to mount multiple connectors, take necessary measures for use, such as

separating the circuit board between the connectors.)

When the connector is mounted on an FPC, insufficient stiffness may lead to land pattern

separation or solder separation. It is recommended that the FPC should be lined with a

stiffening film.

(5) Precautions

1. Do not mate or unmate a connector with an excessive prying force. It may cause a failure

of the connector.

2. The connector may become disconnected if it is dropped, or extreme stress is applied to

the FPC. To prevent this from happening, fix the connector in place by holding it with an

added portion of the case or some type of cushioning material.

1. The temperatures indicated are the surface temperatures on the printed circuit board at

the points of contact with the terminals.

2. Reflow soldering should be performed at a peak temperature of 250°C or less at the

surface of the printed circuit board.

3. The temperature profile varies depending on conditions such as the size of the printed

circuit board, the solder paste type, and solder thickness.

4. Operating Environment and Storage Conditions

(1) Operating environment

This product was designed under the assumption that it would be used in a normal operating

environment.

Use of this connector under adverse environmental conditions may lead to discoloration or other

kinds of degradation. Use of the connector in regions having exposure to excessive amounts of

fine particles and dust, high densities of sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide or other

corrosive gasses (e.g., exhaust gas from automobiles or factories), is not advised

Environments having a large difference in temperature, such as a place near a heater.

(2) Storage conditions

Store the product in Hirose Electric's packaging or similar packaging conditions.

Temperature: -10 to +40°C, humidity: 85% or less (recommended storage conditions)

Use the product within six months from delivery.

Products for which the storage period has expired must be tested for solderability before the use.

The characteristics and the specifications contained herein are for reference purpose. Please refer to the latest customer drawings prior to use.
