3.2 Important recommendations and notices
Any use of auxiliary substances (lubricants, oils, fats, etc.) during the assembly is not
permitted. Any type of contamination during assembly (from dust, moisture, etc.), will have
a negative impact on the lifespan and functionality of the system. Thus, it is very important
to carry out the assembly in clean surroundings.
4 Storage
Tin-plated and silver-plated surfaces can undergo a physikal aging process that may
negatively affect their ability to be soldered. In order maintain the best connection
characteristics, make sure that the following instructions are closely followed during
additional processing steps:
Storage conditions:
The parts should ideally be stored in the original packaging, at a constant temparature of 21
– 25° C, with a relative humidity of no more than 55%. The components should be exposed
to direct light. They should also be protected from any extreme ambient conditions (such as
air pollution).
The storage time should be kept as short as possible, especially for silver-plated components
and for solder connections in general. Our experience is that tin-plated components can be
soldered for about a year after delivery when using the proper conventional flux. Silver-plated
components, owing to their physical characteristics, should be processed within about six
months of delivery.
These specifictaions are based on experience using components stored under optimal
conditions. They do not constitute and binding commitment for the fulfillment of any
characteristics.

temperatures and environmental conditions.
