About contamination of internal switch contacts during soldering and cleaning processes
Publish Time: Author: Site Editor Visit: 4
Most manufacturing and field problems experienced by users of unsealed switches are caused by contamination of the internal switch contacts during soldering and cleaning processes. Switches may become intermittent, especially in low power applications, and may fail open during factory testing or later in the field. Careful handling during soldering and cleaning can prevent most process contamination problems encountered.
