Note : A ceramic capacitor (0.1 μF) should be connected from pin 6 (VCC) to pin 4 (GND) to stabilize the operation of
the high gain linear amplifier. Failure to provide the bypass may impair the switching property.
The total lead length between capacitor and coupler should not exceed 1 cm.
Note 1: Propagation delay skew is defined as the difference between the largest and smallest propagation delay
times (i.e. tpHL or tpLH) of multiple samples. Evaluations of these samples are conducted under identical test conditions
(supply voltage, input current, temperature, etc).

PRECAUTIONS OF SURFACE MOUNTING TYPE PHOTOCOUPLER SOLDERING &
GENERAL STORAGE
(1) Precautions for Soldering
1) When Using Soldering Reflow
z An example of a temperature profile when Sn-Pb eutectic solder is used:
z An example of a temperature profile when lead(Pb)-free solder is used:
z Reflow soldering must be performed once or twice.
z The mounting should be completed with the interval from the first to the last mountings being 2 weeks.
2) When using soldering Flow (Applicable to both eutectic solder and Lead(Pb)-Free solder)
z Apply preheating of 150 ˚C for 60 to 120 seconds.
z Mounting condition of 260 ˚C and less within 10 seconds is recommended.
z Flow soldering must be performed once
3) When using soldering Iron (Applicable to both eutectic solder and Lead(Pb)-Free solder)
z Complete soldering within 10 seconds for lead temperature not exceeding 260 ˚C or within 3 seconds
not exceeding 350 ˚C .
z Heating by soldering iron must be only once per 1 lead

(2) Precautions for General Storage
1) Do not store devices at any place where they will be exposed to moisture or direct sunlight.
2) When transportation or storage of devices, follow the cautions indicated on the carton box.
3) The storage area temperature should be kept within a temperature range of 5 ˚C
to 35 ˚C, and relative humidity should be maintained at between 45% and 75%.
4) Do not store devices in the presence of harmful (especially corrosive)gases, or in dusty conditions.
5) Use storage areas where there is minimal temperature fluctuation. Because rapid temperature
changes can cause condensation to occur on stored devices, resulting in lead oxidation or corrosion,
as a result, the solderability of the leads will be degraded.
6) When repacking devices, use anti-static containers.
7) Do not apply any external force or load directly to devices while they are in storage.
8) If devices have been stored for more than two years, even though the above conditions have been
followed, it is recommended that solderability of them should be tested before they are used.
