AC Line EMI Suppression and RC Networks – PME295, Metallized Impregnated Paper, Class Y1, 440 VAC/480 VAC
Soldering Process
The implementation of the RoHS directive has resulted in the selection of SnAuCu (SAC) alloys or SnCu alloys as primary
solder. This has increased the liquidus temperature from 183°C for SnPb eutectic alloys to 217 – 221°C for the new alloys.
As a result, the heat stress to the components, even in wave soldering, has increased considerably due to higher preheat and
wave temperatures. Polypropylene capacitors are especially sensitive to heat (the melting point of polypropylene is 160 –
170°C). Wave soldering can be destructive, especially for mechanically small polypropylene capacitors (with lead spacing of
5 to 15 mm), and great care must be taken during soldering. The recommended solder profiles from KEMET should be used.
Consult KEMET with any questions. In general, the wave soldering curve from IEC Publication 61760-1, Edition 2 serves as a
solid guideline for successful soldering. See Figure 1.
Reflow soldering is not recommended for through-hole film capacitors. Exposing capacitors to a soldering profile in excess
of the above the recommended limits may result in degradation of or permanent damage to the capacitors.
Do not place the polypropylene capacitor through an adhesive curing oven to cure resin for surface mount components.
Insert through-hole parts after the curing of surface mount parts. Consult KEMET to discuss the actual temperature profile in
the oven, if through-hole components must pass through the adhesive curing process. A maximum of two soldering cycles is
recommended. Allow time for the capacitor surface temperature to return to normal before the second soldering cycle.

Selective Soldering Recommendations
Selective dip soldering is a variation of reflow soldering. In this method, the printed circuit board with through-hole
components to be soldered is preheated and transported over the solder bath, as in normal-flow soldering, without touching
the solder. When the board is over the bath, it is stopped. Pre-designed solder pots are lifted from the bath with molten
solder only at the places of the selected components, and then pressed against the lower surface of the board to solder
the components.
The temperature profile for selective soldering is similar to the temperature profile for double-wave flow soldering outlined in
this document. However, instead of two baths, there is only one with a time from 3 to 10 seconds. In selective soldering, the
risk of overheating is greater than in double-wave flow soldering, and great care must be taken so that the parts do
not overheat.
