・Use Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder.
・Standard thickness of solder paste: 100μm to 150μm.
11.3 Flow soldering / Reflow soldering conditions
・Pre-heating should be in such a way that the temperature difference between solder and product
surface is limited to 150°C max. Cooling into solvent after soldering also should be in such a way that
the temperature difference is limited to 100°C max.
Insufficient pre-heating may cause cracks on the product, resulting in the deterioration of products
quality.
・Standard soldering profile and the limit soldering profile is as follows.
The excessive limit soldering conditions may cause leaching of the electrode and/or resulting in the
deterioration of product quality.

11.5 Solder Volume
・Solder shall be used not to be exceeded the upper limits as shown below.
・Accordingly increasing the solder volume, the mechanical stress to Chip is also increased.
Exceeding solder volume may cause the failure of mechanical or electrical performance.

11.6 Product’s location
The following shall be considered when designing and laying out P.C.B.'s.
(1) P.C.B. shall be designed so that products are not subject to the mechanical stress due to warping the board.
[Products direction]
a
b
〈 Poor example〉
Products shall be located in the sideways
direction (Length: a‹b) to the mechanical
stress.
〈 Good example 〉
(2)Components location on P.C.B. separation.
It is effective to implement the following measures, to reduce stress in separating the board.
It is best to implement all of the following three measures; however, implement as many measures
as possible to reduce stress.
Contents of Measures
Stress Level
(1) Turn the mounting direction of the component parallel to the board separation surface.
A > D *1
(2) Add slits in the board separation part.
A > B
(3) Keep the mounting position of the component away from the board separation surface.
A > C
Perforation
C
B
D
A
Slit
*1 A > D is valid when stress is added vertically to the perforation as with Hand Separation.
If a Cutting Disc is used, stress will be diagonal to the PCB, therefore A > D is invalid.
(3) Mounting Components Near Screw Holes
When a component is mounted near a screw hole, it may be affected by the board deflection that occurs
during the tightening of the screw. Mount the component in a position as far away from the screw holes
as possible.
Screw Hole
Recommended
11.7 Cleaning Conditions
Products shall be cleaned on the following conditions.
(1) Cleaning temperature shall be limited to 60°C max. (40°C max for IPA)
(2) Ultrasonic cleaning shall comply with the following conditions with avoiding the resonance
phenomenon at the mounted products and P.C.B.
Power : 20 W / l max.
Frequency : 28kHz to 40kHz
Time : 5 min max.
(3) Cleaner
1. Alcohol type cleaner
Isopropyl alcohol (IPA)
2. Aqueous agent

(4) There shall be no residual flux and residual cleaner after cleaning.
In the case of using aqueous agent, products shall be dried completely after rinse with de-ionized
water in order to remove the cleaner.
(5) Other cleaning
Please contact us.
11.8 Resin coating
Inductance value may be changed due to the large cure-stress of the resin when products are coated with
resin. In this case, take care when you select resin to prevent the deterioration of the product quality.
11.9 Caution for use
There is possibility that the inductance value change due to magnetism. Don‘t use a magnet or a pair of
tweezers with magnetism when chip coil are handled. (The tip of the tweezers should be molded with resin
or pottery.)
11.10 Magnetic Saturation
When the excessive current over rated current is applied, the inductance value may change due to
magnetism.
11.11 Handling of a substrate
After mounting products on a substrate, do not apply any stress to the product caused by bending or
twisting to the substrate when cropping the substrate, inserting and removing a connector from the
substrate or tightening screw to the substrate.
Excessive mechanical stress may cause cracking in the product.
Bending
Twisting
11.12 Storage and Handing Requirements
(1) Storage period
Use the products within 6 months after delivered.
Solderability should be checked if this period is exceeded.
(2) Storage conditions
・Products should be stored in the warehouse on the following conditions.
Temperature : -10°C to 40°C
Humidity
: 15% to 85% relative humidity
No rapid change on temperature and humidity
Don't keep products in corrosive gases such as sulfur,chlorine gas or acid, or it may cause oxidization of
electrode, resulting in poor solderability.
・Products should be stored on the palette for the prevention of the influence from humidity, dust and so
on.
・Products should be stored in the warehouse without heat shock, vibration, direct sunlight and so on.
・Products should be stored under the airtight packaged condition.
(3) Handling Condition
Care should be taken when transporting or handling product to avoid excessive vibration or mechanical
shock.
