In case of repeated soldering, the accumulated soldering time must be within the range shown above. 4. Optimum Solder Amount for Reflow Soldering 4-1. Overly thick application of solder paste results in 0.2mm min a excessive solder fillet height. This makes the chip more susceptible to mechanical and thermal stress on the board and may cause the chips to crack. in section 4-2. Too little solder paste results in a lack of adhesive strength on the outer electrode, which may result in chips breaking loose from the PCB. 4-3. Make sure the solder has been applied smoothly to the end surface to a height of 0.2mm min. Inverting the PCB Make sure not to impose any abnormal mechanical shocks to the PCB. JEMCCC-0010Q 16

! Caution 4-2.Leaded Component Insertion 1. If the PCB is flexed when leaded components (such as transformers and ICs) are being mounted, chips may crack and solder joints may break. Before mounting leaded components, support the PCB using backup pins or special jigs to prevent warping. 5.Washing Excessive ultrasonic oscillation during cleaning can cause the PCBs to resonate, resulting in cracked chips or broken solder joints. Take note not to vibrate PCBs. 6.Electrical Test on Printed Circuit Board 1. Confirm position of the support pin or specific jig, when inspecting the electrical performance of a capacitor after mounting on the printed circuit board. 1-1. Avoid bending printed circuit board by the pressure of a test pin, etc. The thrusting force of the test probe can flex the PCB, resulting in cracked chips or open solder joints. Provide support pins on the back side of the PCB to prevent warping or flexing. 1-2. Avoid vibration of the board by shock when a test pin contacts a printed circuit board. □ Not recommended □ Recommended Support pin Peeling Test-pin Test-pin JEMCCC-0010Q 17

! Caution 7.Printed Circuit Board Cropping 1. After mounting a capacitor on a printed circuit board, do not apply any stress to the capacitor that is caused by bending or twisting the board. 1-1.

Notice ■ Rating 1.Operating Temperature 1. The operating temperature limit depends on the capacitor. 1-1.Do not apply temperatures exceeding the upper operating temperature. It is necessary to select a capacitor with a suitable rated temperature which will cover the operating temperature range. Also it is necessary to consider the temperature distribution in equipment and the seasonal temperature variable factor. 1-2.Consider the self-heating of the capacitor The surface temperature of the capacitor shall be the upper operating temperature or less when including the self-heating factors. 2.Atmosphere surroundings (gaseous and liquid) 1. Restriction on the operating environment of capacitors. 1-1. The capacitor, when used in the above, unsuitable, operating environments may deteriorate 　due to the corrosion of the terminations and the penetration of moisture into the capacitor. 1-2. The same phenomenon as the above may occur when the electrodes or terminals of the capacitor are subject to moisture condensation. 1-3. The deterioration of characteristics and insulation resistance due to the oxidization or corrosion of 　　 terminal electrodes may result in breakdown when the capacitor is exposed to corrosive or volatile gases or solvents for long periods of time. 3.Piezo-electric Phenomenon 1. When using high dielectric constant type capacitors in AC or pulse circuits, the capacitor itself vibrates at specific frequencies and noise may be generated. Moreover, when the mechanical vibration or shock is added to capacitor, noise may occur. JEMCCC-0010Q 20

Notice ■ Soldering and Mounting 1.PCB Design 1. Notice for Pattern Forms 1-1. Unlike leaded components, chip components are susceptible to flexing stresses since they are mounted directly on the substrate. They are also more sensitive to mechanical and thermal stresses than leaded components. Excess solder fillet height can multiply these stresses and cause chip cracking. When designing substrates, take land patterns and dimensions into consideration to eliminate the possibility of excess solder fillet height. 1-2.There is a possibility of chip crack caused by PCB expansion/contraction with heat. (cid:10) (cid:10) (cid:10) Because stress for chip is different depend on PCB material and structure.Especially metal PCB such as alumina has a greater risk of chip crack because of large difference of thermal expansion coefficient. In case of chip below 0402 size, there is also the same possibility of crack with a single-layered glass epoxy board.

Notice 2.Washing 1. Please evaluate a capacitor by actual cleaning equipment and condition surely for confirming the quality and select the applicable solvent. 2. Unsuitable cleaning solvent may leave residual flux, other foreign substances, causing deterioration of electrical characteristics and the reliability of the capacitors. 3. Select the proper cleaning conditions. 3-1. Improper cleaning conditions (excessive or insufficient) may result in the deterioration of the performance of the capacitors. 3.Coating 1. A crack may be caused in the capacitor due to the stress of the thermal contraction of the resin during 　curing process. The stress is affected by the amount of resin and curing contraction. Select a resin with small curing contraction. The difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between a coating resin or a molding resin and capacitor may cause the destruction and deterioration of the capacitor such as a crack or peeling, and lead to the deterioration of insulation resistance or dielectric breakdown. Select a resin for which the thermal expansion coefficient is as close to that of capacitor as possible. A silicone resin can be used as an under-coating to buffer against the stress. 2. Select a resin that is less hygroscopic. Using hygroscopic resins under high humidity conditions may cause the deterioration of the insulation resistance of a capacitor. An epoxy resin can be used as a less hygroscopic resin. ■ Others 1.Transportation 1. The performance of a capacitor may be affected by the conditions during transportation. 1-1. The capacitors shall be protected against excessive temperature, humidity and mechanical force during transportation. (1) Climatic condition － low air temperature：－40℃ － change of temperature air/air：－25℃/＋25℃ － low air pressure：30 kPa － change of air pressure：6 kPa/min (2) Mechanical condition Transportation shall be done in such a way that the boxes are not deformed and forces are not directly passed on to the inner packaging. 1-2. Do not apply excessive vibration, shock, and pressure to the capacitor. (1) When excessive mechanical shock or pressure is applied to a capacitor, chipping or cracking may occur in the ceramic body of the capacitor. (2) When a sharp edge of an air driver, a soldering iron, tweezers, a chassis, etc. impacts strongly on the surface of capacitor, the capacitor may crack and short-circuit. 1-3. Do not use a capacitor to which excessive shock was applied by dropping etc. The capacitor dropped accidentally during processing may be damaged. JEMCCC-0010Q 23
