General technical information
Storage
Only store CeraLink capacitors in their original packaging. Do not open the package prior to
processing.
Storage conditions in original packaging: temperature −25 °C to +45 °C, relative humidity ≤ 75%
annual average, maximum 95%, dew precipitation is inadmissible.
Do not store CeraLink capacitors where they are exposed to heat or direct sunlight. Otherwise the
packaging material may be deformed or CeraLink may stick together, causing problems during
mounting.
Avoid contamination of the CeraLink surface during storage, handling and processing.
Avoid storing CeraLink devices in harmful environments where they are exposed to corrosive
gases (e.g. SOx, Cl).
Use CeraLink as soon as possible after opening factory seals such as polyvinyl-sealed packages.
Solder CeraLink components within 6 months after shipment.
Handling
Do not drop CeraLink components or allow them to be chipped.
Do not clamp CeraLink components on the face sides (e.g. during pick-and-place). A vacuumbased pick-and-place process picking the component on the top side is recommended.
Do not touch CeraLink with your bare hands - gloves are recommended.
Avoid contamination of the CeraLink surface during handling.
The CeraLink FA series was tested to withstand the board flex test defined in the AEC-Q200 rev D,
method 005.
The CeraLink FA series uses copper-invar lead frames to prevent mechanical stress to the ceamic.
Too much bending causes open mode. Avoid high mechanical stress like twisting after soldering
on a PCB.

Mounting
Do not subject CeraLink devices to mechanical stress when encapsulating them with sealing
material or overmolding with plastic material. Encapsulation may lead to worse heat dissipation
too. Please ask for further information.
Do not scratch the electrodes before, during or after the mounting process.
Make sure contacts and housings used for assembly with CeraLink components are clean before
mounting.
The surface temperature of an operating CeraLink can be higher than the ambient temperature.
Ensure that adjacent components are placed at a sufficient distance from a CeraLink to allow
proper cooling.
Avoid contamination of the CeraLink surface during processing.
Soldering guidelines
The use of mild, non-activated fluxes for soldering is recommended, as well as proper cleaning of
the PCB.
Complete removal of flux is recommended to avoid surface contamination that can result in an
instable and/or high leakage current.
Use resin-type or non-activated flux.
Bear in mind that insufficient preheating may cause ceramic cracks.
Rapid cooling by dipping in solvent is not recommended, otherwise a component may crack.
Excessive usage of solder paste can reduce the mechanical robustness of the device, whereas
insufficient solder may cause the CeraLink to detach from the PCB. Use an adequate amount of
solder paste, but on the landing pads only.
If an unsuitable cleaning fluid is used, flux residue or foreign particles may stick to the CeraLink
surface and deteriorate its insulation resistance. Insufficient or improper cleaning of the CeraLink
may cause damage to the component.
Excessive washing like ultrasonic cleaning, can affect the connection between the ceramic chip
and the outer electrode. To avoid this, we give the following recommendation:
o Power: 20 W/l max.
o Frequency: 40 kHz max.
o Washing time: 5 minutes max.

Cautions and warnings
General
Not for use in resonant circuits, where a voltage of alternating polarity occurs.
Not for AC applications. Consult our local representative for further details.
If used in snubber circuits, ensure that the sum of all voltages remains at the same polarity.
Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our CeraLink components for
certain areas of application, including recommendations about incorporation/design-in of these
products into customer applications. The statements are based on our knowledge of typical
requirements often made of our CeraLink devices in the particular areas. We nevertheless expressly
point out that such statements cannot be regarded as binding statements about the suitability of our
CeraLink components for a particular customer application. As a rule, TDK is either unfamiliar with
individual customer applications or less familiar with them than the customers themselves. For these
reasons, it is always incumbent on the customer to check and decide whether the CeraLink devices
with the properties described in the product specification are suitable for use in a particular customer
application.
Do not use CeraLink components for purposes not identified in our specifications.
Ensure the suitability of a CeraLink in particular by testing it for reliability during design-in.
Always evaluate a CeraLink component under worst-case conditions.
Pay special attention to the reliability of CeraLink devices intended for use in safety-critical
applications (e.g. medical equipment, automotive, spacecraft, nuclear power plant).
Design notes
Consider derating at higher operating temperatures. As a rule, lower temperatures and voltages
increase the life time of CeraLink devices.
If steep surge current edges are to be expected, make sure your design is as low-inductive as
possible.
In some cases the malfunctioning of passive electronic components or failure before the end of
their service life cannot be completely ruled out in the current state of the art, even if they are
operated as specified. In applications requiring a very high level of operational safety and
especially when the malfunction or failure of a passive electronic component could endanger
human life or health (e.g. in accident prevention, life-saving systems, or automotive battery line
applications such as clamp 30), ensure by suitable design of the application or other measures
(e.g. installation of protective circuitry, fuse or redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained
by third parties in the event of such a malfunction or failure.
Specified values only apply to CeraLink components that have not been subject to prior electrical,
mechanical or thermal damage. The use of CeraLink devices in line-to-ground applications is
therefore not advisable, and it is only allowed together with safety countermeasures such as
thermal fuses.

Important notes
The following applies to all products named in this publication:
1. Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our products for
certain areas of application. These statements are based on our knowledge of typical
requirements that are often placed on our products in the areas of application concerned. We
nevertheless expressly point out that such statements cannot be regarded as binding
statements about the suitability of our products for a particular customer application. As a
rule we are either unfamiliar with individual customer applications or less familiar with them than
the customers themselves. For these reasons, it is always ultimately incumbent on the customer
to check and decide whether a product with the properties described in the product specification is
suitable for use in a particular customer application.
2. We also point out that in individual cases, a malfunction of electronic components or failure
before the end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in the current state
of the art, even if they are operated as specified. In customer applications requiring a very high
level of operational safety and especially in customer applications in which the malfunction or
failure of an electronic component could endanger human life or health (e.g. in accident
prevention or life-saving systems), it must therefore be ensured by means of suitable design of the
customer application or other action taken by the customer (e.g. installation of protective circuitry
or redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained by third parties in the event of malfunction or
failure of an electronic component.
3. The warnings, cautions and product-specific notes must be observed.
4. In order to satisfy certain technical requirements, some of the products described in this
publication may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g.
because they are classed as hazardous). Useful information on this will be found in our Material
Data Sheets on the Internet (www.tdk-electronics.tdk.com/material). Should you have any more
detailed questions, please contact our sales offices.
5. We constantly strive to improve our products. Consequently, the products described in this
publication may change from time to time. The same is true of the corresponding product
specifications. Please check therefore to what extent product descriptions and specifications
contained in this publication are still applicable before or when you place an order.
We also reserve the right to discontinue production and delivery of products. Consequently,
we cannot guarantee that all products named in this publication will always be available.
The aforementioned does not apply in the case of individual agreements deviating from the
foregoing for customer-specific products.
6. Unless otherwise agreed in individual contracts, all orders are subject to our General Terms
and Conditions of Supply.
7. Our manufacturing sites serving the automotive business apply the IATF 16949 standard.
The IATF certifications confirm our compliance with requirements regarding the quality
management system in the automotive industry. Referring to customer requirements and
customer specific requirements (“CSR”) TDK always has and will continue to have the policy of
respecting individual agreements. Even if IATF 16949 may appear to support the acceptance of
unilateral requirements, we hereby like to emphasize that only requirements mutually agreed
upon can and will be implemented in our Quality Management System. For clarification
purposes we like to point out that obligations from IATF 16949 shall only become legally binding if
individually agreed upon.
