Soldering and Cleaning Instructions:

Use mild "no-clean" fluxes for soldering.
If cleaning is necessary, wash components with water only, avoiding harsh organic solvents.
Clean at room temperature and limit washing to one minute.
Remove excess moisture with forced-air drying immediately after cleaning.
Circuit Design Notes:

Consider protective current-limiting resistors for LED operation within specified limits.
Design the driving circuit to protect against reverse voltages and transient spikes.
Choose safe operating current based on maximum ambient temperature.
