Terminal Connection
When soldering lead wires to the Switch, make sure that the capacity
of the soldering iron is 60 W maximum. Do not take more than 5 s to
solder any part of the Switch. The characteristics of the Switch will
deteriorate if a soldering iron with a capacity of more than 60 W is
applied to any part of the Switch for 5 s or more.

The rated permissible switching speed and frequency indicate the
switching reliability of the Switch.
The life of a Switch is determined at the specified switching speed.
The life varies with the switching speed and frequency even when
they are within the permissible ranges. In order to determine the
life of a Switch model to be applied to a particular use, it is best to
conduct an appropriate durability test on some samples of the
model under actual conditions.

the contact may not catch up with the speed.
