Soldering Process
The implementation of the RoHS Directive has required the use
of SnAuCu (SAC) or SnCu alloys as primary solder. These alloys
require a higher liquidus temperature (217ºC – 221ºC) as compared
to SnPb eutectic alloy (183ºC). Due to the higher pre-heat and
wave temperatures, the heat stress to components has increased
considerably. Polypropylene capacitors are especially sensitive
to soldering temperature due to the relatively low melting point of
polypropylene material (160ºC – 170ºC). As a result, wave soldering
can be destructive, especially to mechanically small polypropylene
capacitors with lead spacings of 5 – 10 mm. For more information,
please refer to KEMET's Recommended Soldering Proles or contact
a KEMET representative. IEC Publication 61760–1 Edition 2 may
also be consulted for general guidelines.

All Information given herein is believed to be accurate and reliable, but it is presented without guarantee, warranty, or responsibility of any kind, expressed or implied.
Statements of suitability for certain applications are based on KEMET Electronics Corporation’s (“KEMET”) knowledge of typical operating conditions for such applications, but are

circuitry or redundancies) in order to ensure that the failure of an electrical component does not result in a risk of personal injury or property damage.
Although all product–related warnings, cautions and notes must be observed, the customer should not assume that all safety measures are indicted or that other measures may not
be required.
