4.6. Important recommendations and notices
Any use of auxiliary substances (lubricants, oil, 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.
5. Storage
Tin-plated and silver-plated surfaces can undergo a physical aging process that may
negatively affect their ability to be soldered. In order to 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 temperature of
21 – 25° C, with a relative humidity of no more than 55%. The components should not 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 specifications are based on experience using components stored under optimal
conditions. They do not constitute a binding commitment for the fulfillment of any
characteristics.

temperatures and environmental conditions.
