Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. CE-018U
5. Solder and Flux
(1) Solder Paste
Use Sn:Pb=60:40wt% ,Sn:Pb=63:37wt%, Sn:Ag:Cu=96.5:3.0:0.5wt% or equivalent type of solder paste.
Do not use strong acidic flux (with halide content exceeding 0.2wt%).
Use of the solder containing Zn may reduce adhesive strength.
When you use the solder containing Zn, please contact us in advance.
For your reference, we are using
‘63Sn/37Pb RMA9086 90-3-M18’, manufactured by Alpha Metals Japan Ltd.,
’96.5Sn/3.0Ag/0.5Cu M705-GRN360-K2-V’, manufactured by Senju Metal Industry Co.,LTD.
for any Internal tests of this product.
(2) Flux
Use rosin type flux in soldering process.
If below flux is used, some problems might be caused in the product characteristics and reliability.
Please do not use below flux.
・
Strong acidic flux (with halide content exceeding 0.2wt%).
・Water-soluble flux(*Water-soluble flux can be defined as non rosin type flux including wash-type
flux and non-wash-type flux.)
6. For removing the flux after soldering, observe the following points in order to avoid deterioration of the
characteristics or any change of the external electrodes quality.
(1) Cleaning Conditions
(2) Drying: After cleaning, dry promptly this product.
7. In your mounting process, observe the following points in order to avoid deterioration of the
characteristics or destruction of this product. The mounting quality of this product may also be affected by
the mounting conditions, shown the points below.
This product is for only reflow soldering. Flow soldering shall not be allowed.
Please mount this product by soldering. When mounted by other methods, such as conductive adhesives,
please contact us in advance.
(1) Standard Land Size
Too big land size gives too much solder paste on the land. It may cause destruction of this product,
because of the mechanical stress especially in the case of board bending.
(2) Printing Conditions of Solder Paste
i. Standard thickness of solder paste printing shall be from 0.10 to 0.15 mm.
ii. After soldering, the solder fillet shall be a height from 0.2 mm to the thickness of this product.
(See the figures below.)
iii. Too much solder gives too strong mechanical stress to this product, such stress may cause cracking or
any mechanical damage. And also, it can destroy the electrical performance of this product.
Less than 5 min.
at room temp.
or
Less than 2 min.
at 40°C max.
Less than 1 min.
20W/L max.
Frequency of several 10 kHz
to several 100 kHz.
A sufficient cleaning shall
be applied to remove flux
completely.
