Precautionary Notes:
1. Storage
Store the capacitors where the temperature and relative humidity don’t exceed 40°C and 70%RH. We
recommend that the capacitors be used within 12 months from the date of manufacturing. Store the products in
the original package and do not open the outer wrapped, polyethylene bag, till just before usage. If it is open, seal
it as soon as possible or keep it in a desiccant with a desiccation agent.
2. Construction of Board Pattern
Improper circuit layout and pad/land size may cause excessive or not enough solder amount on the PC board.
Not enough solder may create weak joint, and excessive solder may increase the potential of mechanical or
thermal cracks on the ceramic capacitor. Therefore we recommend the land size to be as shown in the following
table:

2.2 Mechanical strength varies according to location of chip capacitors on the P.C. board.
Design layout of components on the PC board such a way to minimize the stress imposed on the
components, upon flexure of the boards in depanelization or other processes.
Component layout close to the edge of the board or the “depanelization line” is not recommended.

3. Mounting
3.1 Sometimes crack is caused by the impact load due to suction nozzle in pick and place operation.
In pick and place operation, if the low dead point is too low, excessive stress is applied to component. This may
cause cracks in the ceramic capacitor, therefore it is required to move low dead point of a suction nozzle to the
higher level to minimize the board warp age and stress on the components. Nozzle pressure is typically
adjusted to 1N to 3N (static load) during the pick and place operation.

4. Soldering
4.1. Wave Soldering
Most of components are wave soldered with solder at Peak Temperature.. Adequate care must be taken to
prevent the potential of thermal cracks on the ceramic capacitors. Refer to the soldering methods below for
optimum soldering benefits.

To optimize the result of soldering, proper preheating is essential:
1) Preheat temperature is too low
a. Flux flows to easily
b. Possibility of thermal cracks
2) Preheat temperature is too high
a. Flux deteriorates even when oxide film is removed
b. Causes warping of circuit board
c. Loss of reliability in chip and other components
Cooling Condition:
Natural cooling using air is recommended. If the chips are dipped into a solvent for cleaning, the temperature
difference ( T) between the solvent and the chips must be less than 100°C.
Δ
4.2 Reflow Soldering
Preheat and gradual increase in temperature to the reflow temperature is recommended to decrease the
potential of thermal crack on the components. The recommended heating rate depends on the size of
component, however it should not exceed 3°C/Sec.
Recommend reflow profile for Lead-Free soldering temperature Profile (MIL-STD-202G #210F)

4.3 Hand Soldering
Sudden temperature change in components, results in a temperature gradient recommended in the following
table, and therefore may cause internal thermal cracks in the components. In general a hand soldering method
is not recommended unless proper preheating and handling practices have been taken. Care must also be
taken not to touch the ceramic body of the capacitor with the tip of solder Iron.

How to Solder Repair by Solder Iron
1) Selection of the soldering iron tip
The required temperature of solder iron for any type of repair depends on the type of the tip, the substrate
material, and the solder land size.
2) recommended solder iron condition
a.) Preheating Condition Board and components should be preheated sufficiently at 150°C or over,
and soldering should be conducted with soldering iron as boards and components are maintained
at sufficient temperatures.
b.) Soldering iron power shall not exceed 30 W.
c.) Soldering iron tip diameter shall not exceed 3mm.
d.) Temperature of iron tip shall not exceed 350°C., and the process should be finished within 5 seconds.
( refer to MIL-STD-202G)
f.) Do not touch the ceramic body with the tip of solder iron. Direct contact of the soldering iron tip to ceramic
body may cause thermal cracks.
g.) After soldering operation, let the products cool down gradually in the room temperature.

5. Handling after chip mounted
5.1 Proper handling is recommended, since excessive bending and twist of the board, depends on the orientation
of the chip on the board, may induce mechanical stress and cause internal crack in the capacitor.

5.3 Mechanical stress due to warping and torsion.
(a) Crack occurrence ratio will be increased by manual separation.
(b) Crack occurrence ratio will be increased by tensile force , rather than compressive force.

6.2 In piling and stacking of the P.C. boards after mounting for storage or handling, the corner of the P.C. board
may hit the chip capacitor mounted on another board to cause crack.

7. Safekeeping condition and period
For safekeeping of the products, we recommend to keep the storage temperature between +5 to +40°C and
under humidity of 20 to 70% RH. The
he shelf life of capacitors is 12 months.
