ZV SMD Series - Low Voltage Varistors
General Information
Multilayered Varistor Symbol
The ZV series of low voltage multilayered varistors is designed to protect sensitive
electronic devices against high voltage surges in the low voltage region. They offer
excellent transient energy absorption due to improved energy volume distribution and
power dissipation. Low voltage varistors cover a wide DC operating voltage range
from 3 V to 170 V.
U
In addition, the ZV series exhibits independent suppression characteristics enabling
stable protection over a wide temperature range of -55 to +125 °C.
ZV varistors are typically applied to protect integrated circuits and other components
at the circuit board level.

Soldering Recommendations for SMD Components
Popular soldering techniques used for surface mounted components are Wave and Infrared Reflow processes. Both processes can be
performed with Pb-containing or Pb-free solders. The termination options available for these soldering techniques are AgPd and NiSn
End Terminations.

Wave Soldering
This process is generally associated with discrete components mounted on the underside of printed circuit boards, or for large top-side
components with bottom-side mounting tabs to be attached, such as the frames of transformers, relays, connectors, etc. SMD varistors
to be wave soldered are first glued to the circuit board, usually with an epoxy adhesive. When all components on the PCB have been
positioned and an appropriate amount of time is allowed for adhesive curing, the completed assembly is then placed on a conveyor and
run through a single, double wave process.
Infrared Reflow Soldering
These reflow processes are typically associated with top-side component placement. This technique utilizes a mixture of adhesive and
solder compounds (and sometimes fluxes) that are blended into a paste. The paste is then screened onto PCB soldering pads specifically designed to accept a particular sized SMD component. The recommended solder paste wet layer thickness is 100 to 300 µm. Once
the circuit board is fully populated with SMD components, it is placed in a reflow environment, where the paste is heated to slightly above
its eutectic temperature. When the solder paste reflows, the SMD components are attached to the solder pads.
Solder Fluxes
Solder fluxes are generally applied to populated circuit boards to keep oxides from forming during the heating process and to facilitate
the flowing of the solder. Solder fluxes can be either a part of the solder paste compound or separate materials, usually fluids.
Recommended fluxes are:
• non-activated (R) fluxes, whenever possible
• mildly activated (RMA) fluxes of class L3CN
• class ORLO
Activated (RA), water soluble or strong acidic fluxes with a chlorine content > 0.2 wt. % are NOT RECOMMENDED. The use of such
fluxes could create high leakage current paths along the body of the varistor components.
When a flux is applied prior to wave soldering, it is important to completely dry any residual flux solvents prior to the soldering process.
Thermal Shock
To avoid the possibility of generating stresses in the varistor chip due to thermal shock, a preheat stage to within 100 °C of the peak soldering process temperature is recommended. Additionally, SMD varistors should not be subjected to a temperature gradient greater than
4 °C/sec., with an ideal gradient being 2 °C/sec. Peak temperatures should be controlled. Wave and Reflow soldering conditions for SMD
varistors with Pb-containing solders are shown on the next page in Fig. 1 and 2 respectively, while Wave and Reflow soldering conditions
for SMD varistors with Pb-free solders are shown in Fig. 1 and 3.
Whenever several different types of SMD components are being soldered, each having a specific soldering profile, the soldering profile
with the least heat and the minimum amount of heating time is recommended. Once soldering has been completed, it is necessary to
minimize the possibility of thermal shock by allowing the hot PCB to cool to less than 50 °C before cleaning.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
Users should verify actual device performance in their specific applications.

Soldering Recommendations for SMD Components (Continued)
Inspection Criteria
When Wave or Infrared Reflow processes are used, the inspection criteria to determine acceptable solder joints will depend on several
key variables, principally termination material process profiles.
Pb-containing Wave and IR Reflow Soldering
Typical “before” and “after” soldering results for Silver/Palladium (AgPd) and NiSn End Terminations can be seen in Fig. 4. Both NiSn
type and silver/palladium terminated varistors form a reliable electrical contact and metallurgical bond between the end terminations and
the solder pads. The bond between these two metallic surfaces is exceptionally strong and has been tested by both vertical pull and
lateral (horizontal) push tests. The results meet or exceed established industry standards for adhesion.
The solder joint appearance of a barrier type terminated versus a sliver/palladium terminated varistor will be slightly different. Solder
forms a metallurgical junction with the thin tin-alloy (over the barrier layer), and due to its small volume “climbs” the outer surface of the
terminations, so the meniscus will be slightly lower. This optical appearance difference should be taken into consideration when
programming visual inspection of the PCB after soldering.

Fig. 5 Soldering Criterion in case of Wave and IR Reflow Pb-free Soldering
Pb-free Wave and IR Reflow Soldering
Solder forms a metallurgical junction with the entire volume of the end termination, i.e., it diffuses from pad to end termination across the
inner side, forming a “mirror” or “negative meniscus. The height of the solder penetration can be clearly seen on the end termination and
is always 30 % higher than the chip height.
Since NiSn end terminations on Bourns® chips do not require the use of sometimes problematic nickel and tin-alloy electroplating processes, these varistors are truly considered environmentally friendly.
Solder Test and Retained Samples
Reflow soldering test based on J-STD-020D.1 and soldering test by dipping based on IEC 60068- 2 for Pb-free solders are performed on
each production lot as shown in the following chart. Test results and accompanying samples are retained for a minimum of two (2) years.
The solderability of a specific lot can be checked at any time within this period, should a customer require this information.

Soldering Recommendations for SMD Components (Continued)
Rework Criteria - Soldering Iron
Unless absolutely necessary, the use of soldering irons is NOT recommended for reworking varistor chips. If no other means of rework is
available, the following criteria must be strictly followed:
• Do not allow the tip of the iron to directly contact the top of the chip
• Do not exceed the following soldering iron specifications:
Output Power........................................30 Watts Maximum
Temperature of Soldering Iron Tip........280 °C Maximum
Soldering Time......................................10 Seconds Maximum
Storage Conditions
SMD varistors should be used within 1 year of purchase to avoid possible soldering problems caused by oxidized terminals. The storage
environment should be controlled, with humidity less than 40 % and temperature between -25 and +45 °C. Varistor chips should always
be stored in their original packaged unit.
When varistor chips have been in storage for more than 1 year, and when there is evidence of solderability difficulties, Bourns can often
“refresh” the terminations to eliminate these problems.
Reliability - Lifetime
Pb-free Wave and IR Reflow Soldering
In general, reliability is the ability of a component to perform and maintain its functions in routine circumstances, as well as in hostile or
unexpected circumstances.
The Mean life of the ZV series is a function of:
• Factor of Applied Voltage
• Ambient Temperature
Mean life is closely related to Failure rate (formula).
Mean life (ML) is the arithmetic mean (average) time to failure of a component.
Failure rate is the frequency with which an engineered system or component fails, expressed, for example, in failures per hour. Failure
rate is usually time dependent, and an intuitive corollary is that the rate changes over time versus the expected life cycle of a system.
