12.2 Flux and solder used
Flux
• Use a rosin-based flux.
• Do not use a highly acidic flux with a halide content exceeding 0.2(wt)% (chlorine conversion value).
• Do not use a water-soluble flux.
Solder
• Use Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder.
• Standard thickness of solder paste: 100 μm to 150 μm
If you want to use a flux other than the above, please consult our technical department.
12.3 Soldering conditions (reflow)
• 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 product 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.

12.4 Reworking with soldering iron
The following requirements must be met to rework a soldered product using a soldering iron.
Item
Requirement
Pre-heating
150°C/approx. 1 min
Tip temperature of soldering iron
350°C max.
Power consumption of soldering iron
80 W max.
Tip diameter of soldering iron
ø3 mm max.
Soldering time
3 s (+1 s, -0 s)
Number of reworking operations
2 times max.
* Avoid a direct contact of the tip of the soldering iron with the product. Such a
direction contact may cause cracks in the ceramic body due to thermal shock.
12.5 Solder volume
Solder shall be used not to be exceeded the upper limits as shown below.
An increased solder volume increases mechanical stress on the product. Exceeding solder volume may cause the failure of
mechanical or electrical performance.
12.6 Product's location
The following shall be considered when designing and laying out PCBs.
(1) PCB shall be designed so that products are not subject to mechanical stress due to warping the board.
[Products direction]
Products shall be located in the sideways direction (length: a < b) to the mechanical stress.
a
b
〈 Poor example〉
〈 Good example〉
(2) Components location on PCB 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
*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.

Spec No.: JELF243B_0049D-01
P8/9
(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.
12.7 Handling of 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
12.8 Cleaning
The product shall be cleaned under the following conditions.
(1) The cleaning temperature shall be 60°C max. If isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is used, the cleaning temperature shall be 40°C
max.
(2) Perform ultrasonic cleaning under the following conditions. Exercise caution to prevent resonance phenomenon in
mounted products and the PCB.

Power
Time
20 W/L max.
5 min max.
Frequency
28 kHz to 40 kHz
(3) Cleaner
Alcohol-based cleaner: IPA
Aqueous agent: PINE ALPHA ST-100S
(4) There shall be no residual flux or residual cleaner. When using aqueous agent, rinse the product with deionized water
adequately and completely dry it so that no cleaner is left.
* For other cleaning, consult our technical department.
12.9 Storage and transportation
Storage period
Use the product within 6 months after delivery.
If you do not use the product for more than 6 months, check solderability before using it.
Storage conditions
• The products shall be stored in a room not subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity.
The recommended temperature range is -10°C to +40°C. The recommended relative humidity
range is 15% to 85%.
Keeping the product in corrosive gases, such as sulfur, chlorine gas or acid may cause the poor
solderability.
• Do not place the products directly on the floor; they should be placed on a palette so that they are
not affected by humidity or dust.
• Avoid keeping the products in a place exposed to direct sunlight, heat or vibration.
• Avoid storing the product by itself bare (i.e. exposed directly to air).
Transportation
Excessive vibration and impact reduces the reliability of the products. Exercise caution when
handling the products.
12.10 Resin coating
The inductance value may change and/or it may affect on the product's performance due to high cure-stress of resin to be
used for coating/molding products. So please pay your careful attention when you select resin. In prior to use, please make
the reliability evaluation with the product mounted in your application set.

12.11 Handling of product
Inductance could change due to the effect of magnetism. Do not use magnetized tweezers, magnets, or other similar tools
when handling the product (instead, use tweezers with resin or ceramic tips).
12.12 Magnetic saturation
A current exceeding the rated current could cause the inductance value to drop due to magnetic saturation.
