The use of plastic tipped tweezers or vacuum pick-ups is strongly recommended for individual components. Bulk handling should ensure that abrasion and mechanical shock are minimized. For automatic equipment, taped and reeled product is the ideal medium for direct presentation to the placement machine. Hand soldering is permissible. Preheat of the PCB to 100C is required. The most preferable technique is to use hot air soldering tools. Where a soldering iron is used, a temperature controlled model not exceeding 30 watts should be used and set to not more than 260C. Maximum allowed time at temperature is 1 minute. When hand soldering, the base side (white side) must be soldered to the board. COOLING CIRCUIT BOARD TYPE 2 All flexible types of circuit boards may be used (e.g. FR-4, G-10) and also alumina. For other circuit board materials, please consult factory. After soldering, the assembly should preferably be allowed to cool naturally. In the event of assisted cooling, similar conditions to those recommended for preheating should be used. CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS COMPONENT PAD DESIGN Component pads must be designed to achieve good joints and minimize component movement during soldering. Pad designs are given below for both wave and reflow soldering. The basis of these designs is: a. Pad width equal to component width. It is permissible to decrease this to as low as 85% of component width but it is not advisable to go below this. b. Pad overlap about 0.3mm. c. Pad extension about 0.3mm for reflow. Pad extension about 0.8mm for wave soldering.

For further specific application or process advice, please consult AVX. 40 Care should be taken to ensure that the devices are thoroughly cleaned of flux residues, especially the space beneath the device. Such residues may otherwise become conductive and effectively offer a lossy bypass to the device.
