FAQ

Is it suitable for panel washing? Choose the sealed variant with film; otherwise avoid immersion cleaning.
Can it reach 1M cycles? Yes, with optimized force (typically 160–200 gf) and benign environment.
Can we get higher temperature capability? A +105 °C rating is available with specific materials.
Do you offer side-actuation? Yes, a side-act SMT version is available in the same family.
What about gold plating for low-level signals? Optional gold-plated contacts are recommended for <10 mA or corrosive environments.
What is the reflow profile? Standard lead-free profile with peak 245 °C, 60–90 s above 217 °C; full curve provided in the datasheet.
Are 3D files and PCB footprints provided? Yes, STEP/IGES and native footprints for major EDA tools are available.
Can you supply small-batch samples? Yes, we support prototype runs and sample reels with rapid dispatch.
