to be observed:

1.2
Standard series
Leadless NTC thermistors
In case of NTC thermistors without leads, soldering is restricted to devices which are provided
with a solderable metallization. The temperature shock caused by the application of hot solder
may produce fine cracks in the ceramic, resulting in changes in resistance.
To prevent leaching of the metallization, solder with silver additives or with a low tin content
should be used. In addition, soldering methods should be employed which permit short soldering
times.
1.3
SMD NTC thermistors
SMD NTC thermistors can be provided with a nickel barrier termination or on special request with
silver-palladium termination. The use of no-clean solder products is recommended. In any case
mild, non-activated fluxes should be used. Flux residues after soldering should be minimized.
SMD NTCs with AgPd termination are not approved for lead-free soldering.
Nickel barrier termination
Figure 1
SMD NTC thermistors, structure of nickel
barrier termination
The nickel barrier layer of the silver/nickel/tin termination (see figure 1) prevents leaching of the
silver base metallization layer. This allows great flexibility in the selection of soldering parameters.
The tin prevents the nickel layer from oxidizing and thus ensures better wetting by the solder. The
nickel barrier termination is tested for all commonly-used soldering methods according to
IEC 60068-2-58. Insufficient preheating may cause ceramic cracks. Rapid cooling by dipping in
solvent is not recommended.
The following test and process conditions apply for nickel barrier termination.

Conductive adhesion
An alternative to soldering for silver-palladium terminated components is the gluing of thermistors
with conductive adhesives. The benefit of this method is that it involves no thermal stress. The
adhesives used must be chemically inert.
3
Clamp contacting
Pressure contacting by means of clamps is particularly suitable for applications involving frequent
switching and high turn-on powers.
4
Robustness of terminations (leaded types)
The leads meet the requirements of IEC 60068-2-21. They may not be bent closer than 4 mm
from the solder joint on the thermistor body or from the point at which they leave the feedthroughs. During bending, any mechanical stress at the outlet of the leads must be removed. The
bending radius should be at least 0.75 mm.

Torsional strength: Test Uc: severity 2
The lead is bent by 90° at a distance of 6 to 6.5 mm from the thermistor body.
The bending radius of the leads should be approx. 0.75 mm. Two torsions of
180° each (severity 2).
When subjecting leads to mechanical stress, the following should be observed:
Tensile stress on leads
During mounting and operation tensile forces on the leads are to be avoided.
Bending of leads
Bending of the leads directly on the thermistor body is not permissible.
A lead may be bent at a minimum distance of twice the wire's diameter +4 mm from the solder
joint on the thermistor body. During bending the wire must be mechanically relieved at its outlet.
The bending radius should be at least 0.75 mm.

Sealing and potting
Sealing or potting processes can affect the reliability of the component.
When thermistors are sealed, potted or overmolded, there must be no mechanical stress caused
by thermal expansion during the production process (curing / overmolding process) and during
later operation. The upper category temperature of the thermistor must not be exceeded. Ensure
that the materials used (sealing / potting compound and plastic material) are chemically neutral.
As thermistors are temperature sensitive components it should be considered that molding can affect the thermal surrounding and may influence e.g. the response time.
Extensive testing is encouraged in order to determine whether overmolding or potting influences
the functionality and/ or reliability of the component.

Cleaning
Cleaning processes can affect the reliability of the component.
If cleaning is necessary, mild cleaning agents are recommended. Cleaning agents based on water are not allowed. Washing processes may damage the product due to the possible static or
cyclic mechanical loads (e.g. ultrasonic cleaning). They may cause cracks which might lead to reduced reliability and/ or lifetime.
7
Storage
In order to maintain their solderability, thermistors must be stored in a non-corrosive atmosphere.
Humidity, temperature and container materials are critical factors.
Do not store SMDs where they are exposed to heat or direct sunlight. Otherwise, the packing material may be deformed or SMDs may stick together, causing problems during mounting. After
opening the factory seals, such as polyvinyl-sealed packages, use the SMDs as soon as possible.
The components should be left in the original packing. Touching the metallization of unsoldered
thermistors may change their soldering properties.
Storage temperature:
25 °C up to 45 °C
Relative humidity (without condensation):
≤75% annual mean
