Set the pins of the DIP Switch to OFF before soldering the DIP
Switch.
Before soldering the DIP Switch on a PCB, make sure that there is
no unnecessary space between the DIP Switch and PCB.
Before soldering the DIP Switch on a multilayer PCB, make sure
that the DIP Switch will not be deformed by the soldering heat on the
pattern or land of the multilayer PCB.
Do not solder the DIP Switch more than twice including rectification
soldering. An interval of five minutes is required between the first
and second solderings.
Make sure that there is no flux rise on the surface of the PCB.

Ultrasonic cleaning is unavailable to any A6T or A6S-series DIP
Switch with a seal tape. It is possible to wipe or dip these models into
washing agents for one minute maximum.
Apply fluorocarbon or alcoholic solvents to clean washable models.
Do not apply any other solvents or water to clean any washable
model because they may deteriorate the materials or performance
of the model.
Washing equipment incorporating more than one washing bath can
be used to clean washable models provided that the washable mod-
els are cleaned for one minute maximum per bath and the total
cleaning time does not exceed three minutes.
Do not impose any external force on washable models while wash-
ing.
Do not clean washable models immediately after soldering. Wait for
at least three minutes to clean washable models after soldering.
The A6T or A6S-series DIP Switch with a seal tape can be washed
provided that the seal tape is not removed or pasted before washing
the DIP Switch.
