Soldering and cleaning process
*For the most current soldering & cleaning processing
guidelines, reference Grayhill Dip Switch Processing
Information, Bulletin 1234
cleaning tape sealed products:
Passes immersion test using water/
detergent.
Acceptable solutions include 1-1-
1 trichlorethane, freon, (TF, TE, or TMS),
isopropyl
alcohol, detergent (140°F
maximum). Terpene
acceptable for Series 90
only.
Solutions which are not recommended
include acetone, methylene chloride, freon
TMC
. Pressure wash cleaning processes are
not recommended for tape seal switches.
Wave Soldering: Recommended solder
temperature: 500°F (260C) max 5 seconds.
Hand Soldering: Use
a soldering iron of
30 Watts or less, controlled at 608°F (320°
C) approximately 2 seconds while applying
solder.
cleaning: Tape sealed versions withstand
cleaning
processes.
