How do I know if a switch is RoHS certified? Where can I go to get the certificate?

How do I know if a part number is RoHS certified?

It is a safe assumption to note that all our switches comply with RoHS standards. You can find our complete library of RoHS certifications by part number, here.

If you need anything specific, please email E-Switch and we will get right back with you. We have quite a selection of switches, including rockers, toggles, tact, pushbutton, snap action, detector, slide, keylock, rotary, DIPs, rotary DIPS, and more. Many of our switches offer IP ratings, and process sealing (for PCB).

Recommended Soldering Guidelines for E-Switch

Please click on the PDF to view the Soldering Profile Guidelines in a printable version.

E-Switch has solder profile recommendations for hand soldering, SMT reflow and wave soldering processes for electronic switches.


Recommended Switch Soldering Guidelines

 

Most contamination problems can be prevented by exercising care during the cleaning and soldering process. Care should be taken not to immerse or spray unsealed switches during flux removal. Contact E-Switch for specific soldering recommendations and specifications not found in this catalog. Generalized soldering procedures are outlined below.


HAND SOLDERING AND TEMPERATURES

Recommend soldering irons of 30 watt maximum with a tip temperature of 345°C (650°F) for 2-3 seconds and solder of 0.030 - 0.040 diameter.


SMT REFLOW (LEAD AND LEAD-FREE)

Image002

Classification Reflow Profile

 

Image003

WAVE SOLDER TIME AND TEMPERATURES

When wave soldering, we recommend using a no-clean flux soldering process, rather than a process that requires washing. The fluxing process must be controlled so as not to have flux migrate inside the switch.


WAVE SOLDER

(Includes Pb-Free, max component side preheat temp-130°C)

Image004


Good venting is required. No-clean flux vapors can enter the switch if adequate venting is not available. The vapors will condense on the internal contacts and become an insulator when they solidify.

·         Preheat temperature/time: Circumferential temperature of the p.c. board not to exceed 100°C (212°F) for 60 seconds.

·         Soldering temperature/time: not to exceed 260°C (500°F) for 5 seconds.

How do I know if a switch is washable or sealed? What are the different seal ratings?

On the product detail page of every series you will find information about the switch. If it is washable or sealed to a certain IP rating, it will list it on the product detail page. To get to the product detail page, go to our product catalog and search by type or by feature. We have a section of sealed switches here.

What are the different seal ratings and what do they mean?

Water-Wash, Process-Sealed, IP67 Switch Seal Rating

Definition of IP Codes (Ingress Protection):

IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) 60529 Standards document specifies an international Classification system for the sealing effectiveness of enclosures of electrical equipment against the "Intrusion into the equipment of foreign bodies and mositure".

1.  Degrees of Protection - First Digit

     6      Dust-tight

2.  Degrees of Protection - Second Digit

     7     Protection against effects of immersion from 15cm to 1m (6" to 40").

Based on the above, our standard for defining a "process-sealed" switch is "sealed to meet the minimum requirements of IP-67".  This means that a switch rated to IP-67 is "Dust-tight" and will pass a water submersion test at 40" (1m), for up to 30 minutes.

Due to the variables encountered in actual water-wash machine processing, IP67 does not necessarily insure that water entry into the switch cannot occur.  the water-wash pressures and air-knife drying that occurs in modern pcb machine-washing can exceed the seal requirements of the IP-67 rating.
