Caution when using Breaker
Before using the breaker, please fully read the
DESIGN AND HANDLING CAUTIONS
stated below so that there will be no breaker
performance deterioration and/or damage to the breaker body or terminal.

Use within the electrical ratings specified in this data sheet. If used over the rating of voltage or current, ON-OFF life might be impacted
and contact may be deteriorated due to breaker arm damage.
If used over the electrical rating, the circuit may not open safely. Please test your device for any abnormalities and confirm that the breaker
will open the circuit safely in your device.
Mount the breaker on your device where heat is the highest in order to transfer it effectively to the breaker.
After the breaker is mounted, affix it so that the breaker body and terminals will not move. If not affixed, breaker resistance could increase
or contact open due to stress during handling or vibration/shock during transportation.
Mount the breaker body and terminals in a straight and flat direction. If the body and terminals are mounted in a twisted condition, breaker
resistance could increase or create body damage.
If breaker is to be resin-molded, test and evaluate to determine whether the breaker can be used effectively.
The breaker cannot be used as a repetitive ON-OFF thermostat.
The breaker is not washable. Do not wash.
The breaker is not designed nor guaranteed for flow, reflow or hand-soldering applications. If such application is required, test and
evaluate in your specific application to confirm that the breaker can be used.
10. When mounting and after mounting the breaker, do not apply supersonic vibration. Vibration and heat may cause the breaker resistance
to increase or may cause body damage. If you apply supersonic vibration after mounting the breaker, test and evaluate in your specific
application to confirm that the breaker can be used.
11. Do not use the breaker in the following abnormal environments:
a) Water, oil, chemicals or organic solutions
b) Direct sunlight, outdoor exposure, dust
c) Dew condensation, allowing the breaker to get wet
d) Salt breeze, chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, ammonium, sulfide-oxidation, hydrogen chloride, and anywhere there is a possibility of
generating corrosive gas such as ulfurous acid gas
e) Strong static electric charge or electromagnetic wave
12. Thie breaker is not designed or tested for, and should not be used in aerospace, airplane, nuclear, military, life-sustaining medical and
other related equipment.

Since the breaker body is composed of plastic parts, do not clamp or dent with tools as this could cause a resistance increase or body
damage.
Breaker terminals are thin copper-alloy with right angle edges. Handle carefully to avoid injury to fingers. Handling while wearing finger
cots and tweezers is recommended.
When welding breaker terminals or mounting the breaker on a cell or PCM board, be careful to avoid placing excessive stress on the
breaker body and terminals. Excessive stress may cause a resistance increase or body damage. Please refer to the following cautions:
a) Do not apply more than 10 N moment to the breaker body (refer to Figure 1)
b) Do not apply more than 1.5 cN-m twist torque to the breaker body (refer to Figure 2)
c) Do not apply more than 20 N bending force to the breaker body (refer to Figure 3)
d) Do not apply more than 0.6 cN-m twist torque to the breaker terminals (refer to Figure 4)
e) Do not apply more than 2 N force to the breaker terminals (refer to Figure 5)
f)
Do not bend terminals more than 45 ° at root (refer to Figure 6)
g) Do not twist terminals more than 20 ° with the breaker body affixed.

In breaker body welding, normally there is direct welding (Figure 7) and series welding (Figure 8). In either case, use a suitable jig so that
there will be no stress as stated above.
Pull-and-detach strength of the terminal welding should be to your own specification. If the welding result is controlled by resistance,
measurement should be made at close point to the breaker body by “4-point clip method” using a milliohm meter to ensure accuracy
(refer to Figure 9).
Avoid putting stress as shown above in 3-a) to 3-g) when the jig is used for welding/additional processing.
