## Safety Precautions 

Multilayer NTC Thermistors for Automotive Grade (hereafter referred to as “Thermistors”) are intended to be used in general-purpose applications as measures against Temperature detection and Temperature compensation in automotive Grade equipment. 

When subjected to severe electrical, environmental, and/or mechanical stress beyond the specifications, 

as noted in the Ratings and Specified Conditions section, the Thermistors’ performance may be degraded, or become failure mode, such as short circuit mode and open-circuit mode. 

If you use under the condition of short-circuit, heat generation of Thermistors will occur by running large current due to application of voltage. There are possibilities of smoke emission, substrate burn-out, and, in the worst case, fire.  For products which require high safety levels, please carefully consider how a single malfunction can affect your product. In order to ensure the safety in the case of a single malfunction, please design products with fail-safe, such as setting up protecting circuits, etc.

- (1) To minimize mechanical stress caused by the warp or bending of a PC board, please follow the recommended Thermistors’ layout below. 

- (2) The following layout is for your reference since mechanical stress near the dividing/breaking position of a PC board varies depending on the mounting position of the Thermistors. 

- (3) The magnitude of mechanical stress applied to the Thermistors when dividing the circuit board in descending order is as follows: push back < slit < V-groove < perforation.  Also take into account the layout of the Thermistors and the dividing/breaking method. 

- (4) When the Thermistors are placed near heating elements such as heater, etc., cracks from thermal stresses may occur under following situation: 

- ・ Soldering the Thermistors directly to heating elements. 

- ・ Sharing the land with heating elements. 

If planning to conduct above-mentioned mounting and/or placement, please contact us in advance. 

## **2.5 Mounting Density and Spaces** 

Intervals between components should not be too narrow to prevent the influence from solder bridges and solder balls. The space between components should be carefully determined. 

## ee **Precautions for Assembly** 

## **1. Storage** 

- (1)  The Thermistors shall be stored between 5 to 40 °C and 20 to 70 % RH, not under severe conditions of high temperature and humidity. 

- (2) If stored in a place where humidity, dust, or corrosive gasses (hydrogen sulfide, sulfurous acid, hydrogen chloride and ammonia, etc.) are contained, the solderability of terminals electrodes will be deteriorated. In addition, storage in a place where the heat or direct sunlight exposure occurs will causes or direct sunlight exposure occurs will causes mounting problems due to deformation of tapes and reels and components and taping/reels sticking together. 

- (3) Do not store components longer than 6 months. Check the solderability of products that have been stored for more than 6 months before use. 

## **2. Chip Mounting Consideration** 

- (1) When mounting the Thermistors/components on a PC board, the Thermistor bodies shall be free from excessive impact loads such as mechanical impact or stress due to the positioning, pushing force and displacement of  vacuum nozzles during mounting. 

- (2) Maintenance and inspection of the Chip Mounter must be performed regularly. 

- (3) If the bottom dead center of the vacuum nozzle is too low, the  Thermistor will crack from excessive force during mounting. The following precautions and recommendations are for your reference in use. 

   - (a) Set and adjust the bottom dead center of the vacuum nozzles to the upper surface of the PC board after correcting the warp of the PC board. 

   - (b) Set the pushing force of the vacuum nozzle during mounting to 1 to 3 N in static load. 

   - (c) For double surface mounting, apply a supporting pin on the rear surface of the PC board to suppress the bending of the PC board in order to minimize the impact of the vacuum nozzles. Typical examples are shown in the table below. 

   - (d) Adjust the vacuum nozzles so that their bottom dead center during mounting is not too low.

- (4) The closing dimensions of the positioning chucks shall be controlled. Maintenance and replacement of positioning chucks shall be performed regularly to prevent chipping or cracking of the Thermistors caused by mechanical impact during positioning due to worn positioning chucks. 

- (5) Maximum stroke of the nozzle shall be adjusted so that the maximum bending of PC board does not exceed 0.5 mm at 90 mm span. The PC board shall be supported by an adequate number of supporting pins. 

## **3. Selection of Soldering Flux** 

Soldering flux may seriously affect the performance of the Thermistors.  The following shall be confirmed before use. 

- (1) The soldering flux should have a halogen based content of 0.1 wt% (converted to chlorine) or below. Do not use soldering flux with strong acid. 

- (2) When applying water-soluble soldering flux, wash the Thermistors sufficiently because the soldering flux residue on the surface of PC boards may deteriorate the insulation resistance on the Thermistors’ surface. 

## **4. Soldering** 

## **4.1 Reflow Soldering** 

The reflow soldering temperature conditions are composed of temperature curves of Preheating, Temp. rise, Heating, Peak and Gradual cooling. Large temperature difference inside the Thermistors caused by rapid heat application to the Thermistors may lead to excessive thermal stresses, contributing to the thermal cracks. The Preheating temperature requires controlling with great care so that tombstone phenomenon may be prevented.

The rapid cooling (forced cooling) during Gradual cooling part should be avoided, because this may cause defects such as the thermal cracks, etc. When the Thermistors are immersed into a cleaning solvent, make sure that the surface temperatures of the devices do not exceed 100 °C. Performing reflow soldering twice under the conditions shown in the figure above [Recommended profile of Flow soldering (Ex.)] will not cause any problems. However, pay attention to the possible warp and bending of the PC board. 

Recommended soldering condition is for the guideline for ensuring the basic characteristics of the components, not for the stable soldering conditions. Conditions for proper soldering should be set up according to individual conditions. The temperature of this product at the time of mounting changes depending on mounting conditions, therefore, please confirm that Product surface becomes the specified temperature when mounting it on the end product.

**Multilayer NTC Thermistors (Automotive Grade)** 

## **4.2 Hand Soldering** 

Hand soldering typically causes significant temperature change, which may induce excessive thermal stresses inside the  Thermitors, resulting in the thermal cracks, etc. In order to prevent any defects, the following should be observed. 

- The temperature of the soldering tips should be controlled with special care. 

- The direct contact of soldering tips with the Thermistors and/or terminal electrodes should be avoided. 

- Dismounted Thermistors shall not be reused. 

## (1) Condition 1 (with preheating) 

- (a) Soldering : Use thread solder ( _φ_ 1.0 mm or below) which contains flux with low chlorine, developed for precision electronic equipment. 

- (b) Preheating : Conduct sufficient pre-heating, and make sure that the temperature difference between solder and Thermitors’ surface is 150 °C or less. 

- (c) Temperature of Iron tip: 300 °C max. 

(The required amount of solder shall be melted in advance on the soldering tip.) 

- (d) Gradual cooling : After soldering, the Thermitors shall be cooled gradually at room temperature.

terminal electrodes of the  Thermitors for soldering. 

## **5. Post Soldering Cleaning** 

## **5.1 Cleaning solvent** 

Soldering flux residue may remain on the PC board if cleaned with an inappropriate solvent. This may deteriorate the electrical characteristics and reliability of the Thermistors. 

## **5.2 Cleaning conditions** 

Inappropriate cleaning conditions such as insufficient cleaning or excessive cleaning may impair the electrical characteristics and reliability of the Thermitors. 

- (1) Insufficient cleaning can lead to : 

   - (a) The halogen substance found in the residue of the soldering flux may cause the metal of terminal electrodes to corrode. 

   - (b) The halogen substance found in the residue of the soldering flux on the surface of the Thermitors may change resistance values. 

   - (c) Water-soluble soldering flux may have more remarkable tendencies of (a) and (b) above compared to those of rosin soldering flux. 

- (2) Excessive cleaning can lead to : 

   - (a) When using ultrasonic cleaner, make sure that the output is not too large, so that the substrate will not resonate. The resonation causes the cracks in  Thermitors and/or solders, and deteriorates the strength of the terminal electrodes. Please follow these conditions for Ultrasonic cleaning: 

      - Ultrasonic wave output : 20 W/L max. 

   - Ultrasonic wave frequency : 40 kHz max. 

      - Ultrasonic wave cleaning time : 5 min. max.

**Multilayer NTC Thermistors (Automotive Grade)** 

## **5.3 Contamination of Cleaning solvent** 

Cleaning with contaminated cleaning solvent may cause the same results as that of insufficient cleaning due to the high density of liberated halogen. 

## **6. Inspection Process** 

The pressure from measuring terminal pins might bend the PCB when implementing circuit inspection after mounting Thermitors on PCB, and as a result, cracking may occur. 

- (1) Mounted PC boards shall be supported by an adequate number of supporting pins on the back with bend settings of 90 mm span 0.5 mm max. 

- (2) Confirm that the measuring pins have the right tip shape, are equal in height, have the right pressure and are set in the correct positions. The following figures are for your reference to avoid bending the PC board.

## **7.Protective Coating** 

Make sure characteristics and reliability when using the resin coating or resin embedding for the purpose of improvement of humidity resistance or gas resistance, or fixing of parts because failures of a thermistors such as 1) ,2) and 3) may be occurred. 

- (1) The solvent which contained in the resin permeate into the Thermitors, and it may deteriorate the characteristic. 

- (2) When hardening the resin, chemical reaction heat (curing heat generation) happen and it may occurs the infection to the Thermistors. 

- (3) The lead wire might be cut down and the soldering crack might be happen by expansion or contraction of resin hardening. 

## **8. Dividing/Breaking of PC Boards** 

- (1) Please be careful not to stress the substrate with bending/twisting when dividing, after mounting 

components including Thermistors. Abnormal and excessive mechanical stress such as bending or torsion shown below can cause cracking in the Thermistors.

**Multilayer NTC Thermistors (Automotive Grade)** 

## **10. Mechanical Impact** 

- (1) The Thermistors shall be free from any excessive mechanical impact. 

The Thermistor body is made of ceramics and may be damaged or cracked if dropped.  Never use a Thermistor which has been dropped; their quality may already be impaired,  and in that case, failure rate will increase. 

- (2) When handling PC boards with Thermistors mounted on them, do not allow the Thermistors to collide with another PC board. 

When mounted PC boards are handled or stored in a stacked state, the corner of a PC board might strike Thermistors, and the impact of the strike may cause damage or cracking and can deteriorate the withstand voltage and insulation resistance of the Thermistors.
