Surface Mount Polyethylene Naphthalate (PEN) Film Capacitor
LDE, Unencapsulated Stacked Chip, Size 1206 – 6054, 50 – 1,000 VDC (Automotive Grade)
Flux/Cleaning/Storage and Moisture cont'd
Manual soldering recommendations
LDEandLDBserieshavebeendesignedforSurfaceMountTechnology,pickandplacemachinesandreowsoldering
systems. Using a manual soldering iron, issues may occur because the typical temperature for manual soldering is around
350°C.Thereforepleasepaycarefulattention:
• Never touch the capacitor body with the soldering iron but rather touch the soldering iron and the end termination with the
tin wire edge (see Fig. 2);
• If the soldering iron is equipped with a temperature controller device:
 Setthetemperatureto250±3°CandproceedasperFig.2(themaximumsolderingtime,onbothterminations,is5
seconds);
• If the soldering iron is NOT equipped with a temperature controller device:
 Thisistheworstsituation.Thefollowingareafewpracticalsuggestionsbut,clearly,theoperator’sexperienceis
extremely important:
1. Proceed as per Fig. 2;
2. As soon as the tin wire starts melting, move the soldering iron away as quickly as possible;
3. Wait a few seconds and check that the soldering joint has been properly created;
• Ifthesolderingironisequippedwithahotairowdevice:
 Setthehotairtemperatureto250±3°Canddonotsendthehotairdirectlyontothecapacitorplasticbody.Inthis
situation,theoperator’sexperienceisveryimportant;
• In any case, avoid mass-mounting SMD Film Capacitors manually.
