Handling and Precautions:

Handle with care to avoid electrostatic discharge and power surge damage.
Use wrist bands or anti-electrostatic gloves when handling LEDs.
Ensure all devices, equipment, and machinery are electrically grounded.
Soldering and Cleaning Recommendations:

Through-hole displays are incompatible with reflow soldering.
Use mild "no-clean" fluxes for soldering.
Clean components with water only; avoid harsh organic solvents.
Perform cleaning at room temperature, not exceeding one minute.
Remove excess moisture with forced-air drying after washing.
Mounting and Circuit Design Notes:

Do not bend component leads by hand without proper tools.
Ensure terminal pitch matches substrate board's hole pitch.
Place component at least 5mm from PCB edge to avoid heat damage during soldering.
Use protective current-limiting resistors for LED operation within specified range.
Design driving circuit to protect against reverse voltages and transient spikes.
