4-1.Reflow Soldering
1. When sudden heat is applied to the components, the

mechanical strength of the components will decrease
because a sudden temperature change causes

deformation inside the components. In order to prevent
mechanical damage to the components, preheating is
required for both the components and the PCB board.
Preheating conditions are shown in table 1. It is required to
keep the temperature differential between the solder and
the components surface (ΔT) as small as possible.
2. Solderability of Tin plating termination chips might be
deteriorated when a low temperature soldering profile where
the peak solder temperature is below the melting point of
Tin is used. Please confirm the Solderability of Tin plated
termination chips before use.
Vapor Reflow
3. When components are immersed in solvent after mounting,
be sure to maintain the temperature difference (ΔT)
between the component and the solvent within the range
shown in the table 1.

4. Optimum Solder Amount for Reflow Soldering
4-1. Overly thick application of solder paste results in
a excessive solder fillet height.
In case of repeated soldering, the accumulated

and thermal stress on the board and may cause
the chips to crack.
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.
* GRM02/03: 1/3 of Chip Thickness min.
Make sure not to impose any abnormal mechanical shocks to the PCB.
