Operation
Installation
■Terminal Arrangement ■Solder Conditions
Reflow (Infrared) Soldering Conditions*
Weld a thermocouple on the terminal side of the Sensor with HMP
(high melting point) solder, place the Sensor into the reflow oven and
set the reflow oven so that the peak terminal temperature will be
230°C ± 5°C. Complete soldering within 20 seconds.
The peak terminal temperature must not exceed 240°C.
Desoldering Conditions with Blower
Employed
Desolder the Sensor at a temperature of 240°C within five seconds.
If a soldering iron is applied manually, desolder the Sensor within 10
seconds at an iron tip temperature of 260°C or within three seconds
at an iron tip temperature of 350°C.
* Preheat temperature = 140°C max. for 90 ± 30 seconds.

Precautions
•The Sensor does not use any materials detrimental to the ozone
layer.
•Specifications other than the electrical or mechanical characteris-
tics, external dimensions, or mounting dimensions of the Sensor
are subject to change without notice.
■Handling Precautions
Operating Environment
•The Sensor consists of a Hall IC and a magnet. Check that the
Sensor in operation will not be influenced by any external magnetic
fields.
•Do not install any magnetic materials within 2 mm of the Sensor,
else the performance characteristics of the Sensor may not be
guaranteeable. If there are any objects (e.g., motors and solenoids)
generating magnetic fields near the Sensor, operate and test the
Sensor before the Sensor comes into actual use.
•Do not apply any voltage exceeding 5V to the Sensor, else the Sen-
sor may break.
•Do not wash the Sensor after the Sensor is soldered.
•Do not mount or dismount the Sensor while power is flowing to the
Sensor.
•The Sensor may generate error signals if impacted at a minimum
acceleration of 294 m/s2.
•The Sensor may generate error signals if a vibration at a minimum
frequency of 15 Hz and a minimum acceleration of 15m/s2 is
applied to the Sensor.
•Confirm that no static electricity at a maximum voltage of 5kV is
applied to the pins, else the Sensor may break.
Operating Characteristics
The present output may stay unchanged if the inclination of the Sen-
sor back and forth is 20° or more. Under that condition, the output
might not change even when the Sensor is leaned left or right.
Tape Packing
■Reel Dimensions
Note: 1. This packing conforms to standard of EIAJ.
2. Quantity per reel: 2,000 pieces.
3. Each reel is packaged within a sealed bag to protect the sensor from the effects of moisture and humidity. In order to maintain optimal
solderability and performance, after the bag’s seal is broken, ensure that storage conditions do not exceed 30°C, 80% RH and that reflow
soldering/assembly occurs within two months.
Direction
of gravity
If the Sensor is kept inclined back or forth as shown in the above
illustration, the level of output might not change from high to low or low to
high when the Sensor inclines left or right.

Certain Precautions on Specifications and Use
1. Suitability for Use. Seller shall not be responsible for conformity with any stan-
dards, codes or regulations which apply to the combination of the Product in
Buyer's application or use of the Product. At Buyer's request, Seller will pro-
vide applicable th ird party certification documents identifying r atings and limi ta-
tions of use which apply to the Product. This information by itself is not
sufficient f or a complete determination of the suitability of the Product i n combi-
nation with the end product, machine, system, or other application or use.
Buyer shall be solely responsible for determining appropriateness of the partic-
ular Product with respect to Buyer's application, product or system. Buyer
shall take application responsibility in all cases but the following is a non-
exhaustive list of applications for which particular attention must be given:
(i) Outdoor use, uses involving potential chemical contamination or electrical
interference, or conditions or uses not described in this document.
(ii)Energy control systems, combustion systems, railroad systems, aviation
systems, medical equipment, amusement machines, vehicles, safety
equipment, and installations subject to
separate industry or government regulations.
(iii)Use in consumer products or any use in significant quantities.
(iv)Systems, machines and equipment that could present a risk to life or
property. Pl ease know and observe all prohibi tio ns of use applicable to this
product.
