Instruction Manual

There are several important general soldering considerations

• Recommended soldering profiles are designed to insure that the temperature of the internal construction of the

capacitors does not exceed +220°C.

• Positioning capacitors near components radiating heat such as power transistors should be avoided.

• Allow for an increase to ESR ratings of 1.25 x catalog limit post PCB assembly.

nemco Low Profile . Soldering Surface Mount Tantalum Soldering Tantalum capacitors are lead-free system compatible system components, meeting the requirements of J-STD-020 standard. Maximum peak temperature 260°C for 10 seconds maximum, 3 reflow cycles. See further details below. There are several important general soldering considerations for tantalum capacitors. • Soldering temperature and time should be the minimum for a good connection.
