Safety precautions
Multilayer NTC Thermistors for General Applications (hereafter referred to as “Thermistors”) are intended to be used in
general-purpose applications as measures against Temperature detection and Temperature compensation in consumer
electronics (audio/visual, home, office, information & communication) equipment.
When subjected to severe electrical, environmental, and/or mechanical stress beyond the specifications, as noted in the
Ratings and Specified Conditions section, the Thermistors’ performance may be degraded,
or become failure mode, such as short circuit mode and open-circuit mode.
If you use under the condition of short-circuit, heat generation of Thermistors will occur by running large current due to
application of voltage. There are possibilities of smoke emission, substrate burn-out, and, in the worst case, fire.
For products which require high safety levels, please carefully consider how a single malfunction can affect your product.
In order to ensure the safety in the case of a single malfunction, please design products with fail-safe, such as setting
up protecting circuits, etc.

(3) The magnitude of mechanical stress applied to the Thermistors when dividing the circuit board in descending
order is as follows: push back < slit < V-groove < perforation. Also take into account the layout of the
Thermistors and the dividing/breaking method.
(4) When the Thermistors are placed near heating elements such as heater, etc., cracks from thermal stresses
may occur under following situation:
・ Soldering the Thermistors directly to heating elements.
・ Sharing the land with heating elements.
If planning to conduct above-mentioned mounting and/or placement, please contact us in advance.
2.5 Mounting Density and Spaces
Intervals between components should not be too narrow to prevent the influence from solder bridges
and solder balls. The space between components should be carefully determined.
Precautions for assembly
1. Storage
(1) The Thermistors shall be stored between 5 to 40 °C and 20 to 70 % RH, not under severe conditions of high
temperature and humidity.
(2) If stored in a place where humidity, dust, or corrosive gasses (hydrogen sulfide, sulfurous acid, hydrogen
chloride and ammonia, etc.) are contained, the solderability of terminals electrodes will be deteriorated.
In addition, storage in a place where the heat or direct sunlight exposure occurs will causes or direct sunlight
exposure occurs will causes mounting problems due to deformation of tapes and reels and components and
taping/reels sticking together.
(3) Do not store components longer than 6 months. Check the solderability of products that have been stored
for more than 6 months before use.
2. Chip mounting consideration
(1) When mounting the Thermistors/components on a PC board, the Thermistor bodies shall be free from
excessive impact loads such as mechanical impact or stress due to the positioning, pushing force and
displacement of vacuum nozzles during mounting.
(2) Maintenance and inspection of the Chip Mounter must be performed regularly.
(3) If the bottom dead center of the vacuum nozzle is too low, the Thermistor will crack from excessive force
during mounting. The following precautions and recommendations are for your reference in use.
(a) Set and adjust the bottom dead center of the vacuum nozzles to the upper surface of the PC board
after correcting the warp of the PC board.
(b) Set the pushing force of the vacuum nozzle during mounting to 1 to 3 N in static load.
(c) For double surface mounting, apply a supporting pin on the rear surface of the PC board to suppress the
bending of the PC board in order to minimize the impact of the vacuum nozzles. Typical examples are
shown in the table below.
(d) Adjust the vacuum nozzles so that their bottom dead center during mounting is not too low.

(4) The closing dimensions of the positioning chucks shall be controlled. Maintenance and replacement of
positioning chucks shall be performed regularly to prevent chipping or cracking of the Thermistors caused
by mechanical impact during positioning due to worn positioning chucks.
(5) Maximum stroke of the nozzle shall be adjusted so that the maximum bending of PC board does not
exceed 0.5 mm at 90 mm span. The PC board shall be supported by an adequate number of supporting pins.
3. Selection of soldering flux
Soldering flux may seriously affect the performance of the Thermistors. The following shall be confirmed
before use.
(1) The soldering flux should have a halogen based content of 0.1 wt% (converted to chlorine) or below.
Do not use soldering flux with strong acid.
(2) When applying water-soluble soldering flux, wash the Thermistors sufficiently because the soldering flux
residue on the surface of PC boards may deteriorate the insulation resistance on the Thermistors’ surface.
4. Soldering
4.1 Reflow soldering
The reflow soldering temperature conditions are composed of temperature curves of Preheating, Temp. rise,
Heating, Peak and Gradual cooling. Large temperature difference inside the Thermistors caused by rapid heat
application to the Thermistors may lead to excessive thermal stresses, contributing to the thermal cracks. The
Preheating temperature requires controlling with great care so that tombstone phenomenon may be prevented.

The rapid cooling (forced cooling) during Gradual cooling part should be avoided, because this may cause defects
such as the thermal cracks, etc. When the Thermistors are immersed into a cleaning solvent, make sure that the
surface temperatures of the devices do not exceed 100 °C. Performing reflow soldering twice under the conditions
shown in the figure above [Recommended profile of Flow soldering (Ex.)] will not cause any problems.
However, pay attention to the possible warp and bending of the PC board.
Recommended soldering condition is for the guideline for ensuring the basic characteristics of the components,
not for the stable soldering conditions. Conditions for proper soldering should be set up according to individual
conditions. The temperature of this product at the time of mounting changes depending on mounting conditions,
therefore, please confirm that Product surface becomes the specified temperature when mounting it on the end
product.

4.2 Hand Soldering
Hand soldering typically causes significant temperature change, which may induce excessive thermal stresses
inside the Thermitors, resulting in the thermal cracks, etc. In order to prevent any defects, the following should
be observed.
· The temperature of the soldering tips should be controlled with special care.
· The direct contact of soldering tips with the Thermistors and/or terminal electrodes should be avoided.
· Dismounted Thermistors shall not be reused.
(1) Condition 1 (with preheating)
(a) Soldering : Use thread solder (ø1.0 mm or below) which contains flux with low chlorine, developed for
precision electronic equipment.
(b) Preheating : Conduct sufficient pre-heating, and make sure that the temperature difference between
solder and Thermitors’ surface is 150 ℃ or less.
(c) Temperature of Iron tip: 300 ℃ max.
(The required amount of solder shall be melted in advance on the soldering tip.)
(d) Gradual cooling : After soldering, the Thermitors shall be cooled gradually at room temperature.

5. Post soldering cleaning
5.1 Cleaning solvent
Soldering flux residue may remain on the PC board if cleaned with an inappropriate solvent.
This may deteriorate the electrical characteristics and reliability of the Thermistors.
5.2 Cleaning conditions
Inappropriate cleaning conditions such as insufficient cleaning or excessive cleaning may impair the electrical
characteristics and reliability of the Thermitors.
(1) Insufficient cleaning can lead to :
(a) The halogen substance found in the residue of the soldering flux may cause the metal of terminal
electrodes to corrode.
(b) The halogen substance found in the residue of the soldering flux on the surface of the Thermitors may
change resistance values.
(c) Water-soluble soldering flux may have more remarkable tendencies of (a) and (b) above compared to
those of rosin soldering flux.
(2) Excessive cleaning can lead to :
(a) When using ultrasonic cleaner, make sure that the output is not too large, so that the substrate will not
resonate. The resonation causes the cracks in Thermitors and/or solders, and deteriorates the strength of
the terminal electrodes. Please follow these conditions for Ultrasonic cleaning:
Ultrasonic wave output
: 20 W/L max.
Ultrasonic wave frequency
: 40 kHz max.
Ultrasonic wave cleaning time : 5 min. max.

Multilayer NTC Thermistors (Automotive Grade)
5.3 Contamination of Cleaning solvent
Cleaning with contaminated cleaning solvent may cause the same results as that of insufficient cleaning
due to the high density of liberated halogen.
6. Inspection process
The pressure from measuring terminal pins might bend the PCB when implementing circuit inspection
after mounting Thermitors on PCB, and as a result, cracking may occur.
(1) Mounted PC boards shall be supported by an adequate number of supporting pins on the back with bend
settings of 90 mm span 0.5 mm max.
(2) Confirm that the measuring pins have the right tip shape, are equal in height, have the right pressure and
are set in the correct positions. The following figures are for your reference to avoid bending the PC board.

7. Protective coating
Make sure characteristics and reliability when using the resin coating or resin embedding for the purpose of
improvement of humidity resistance or gas resistance, or fixing of parts because failures of a thermistors such
as 1) ,2) and 3) may be occurred.
(1) The solvent which contained in the resin permeate into the Thermitors, and it may deteriorate the
characteristic.
(2) When hardening the resin, chemical reaction heat (curing heat generation) happen and it may occurs the
infection to the Thermistors.
(3) The lead wire might be cut down and the soldering crack might be happen by expansion or contraction of
resin hardening.
8. Dividing/Breaking of PC Boards
(1) Please be careful not to stress the substrate with bending/twisting when dividing, after mounting
components including Thermistors. Abnormal and excessive mechanical stress such as bending or
torsion shown below can cause cracking in the Thermistors.
Torsion
Bending
(2) Dividing/Breaking of the PC boards shall be done carefully at moderate speed by using a jig or apparatus to
prevent the Thermistors on the boards from mechanical damage.
(3) Examples of PCB dividing/breaking jigs: The outline of PC board breaking jig is shown below. When PC board
are broken or divided, loading points should be close to the jig to minimize the extent of the bending.
Also, planes with no parts mounted on should be used as plane of loading, in order to prevent tensile stress
induced by the bending, which may cause cracks of the Thermistors or other parts mounted on the PC boards.

9. Mechanical impact
(1) The Thermistors shall be free from any excessive mechanical impact.
The Thermistor body is made of ceramics and may be damaged or cracked if dropped. Never use a
Thermistor which has been dropped; their quality may already be impaired, and in that case,
failure rate will increase.
(2) When handling PC boards with Thermistors mounted on them, do not allow the Thermistors to collide with
another PC board.
When mounted PC boards are handled or stored in a stacked state, the corner of a PC board might strike
Thermistors, and the impact of the strike may cause damage or cracking and can deteriorate the
withstand voltage and insulation resistance of the Thermistors.
