**Matters to Be Observed When Using This Product** 

## **Matters to Be Observed When Using This Product** 

・ (D-type : V series / SMD-type : HF VF series) 

## **Safety measures** 

An abnormal state for varistors (ZNR surge absorbers) of the D type/V series and SMD-Type/HF, VF Series (hereinafter the product or "the surge absorber") that results from a problem with service conditions (materials used, the surrounding environment, power conditions, circuit conditions, etc.) may cause a fire accident, electric shock accident, burn accident, or product failure. Matters to note when handling this product will hereinafter be described. What is described below should be checked sufficiently before the product is used. 

## ■ Confirming rated capabilities 

Use the surge absorber within the range of its rated capabilities. Each type of surge absorber has specified rated capabilities including a maximum allowable circuit voltage, a surge current tolerance, an energy tolerance, an impulse lifespan (surge lifespan), average pulse power, and a service temperature. Using the surge absorber under severe service conditions that are beyond the rated capabilities causes degraded performance of the surge absorber or destruction of a circuit element, which may lead to smoke generation, ignition, etc. 

- Take the following measures in order to avoid an accident caused by expected phenomenon. 

   - (1) Destruction of the surge absorber may scatter its fractured pieces around. To protect other elements from these pieces, set product in a case or shield it with a cover. 

   - (2) Do not place the surge absorber near combustible materials (vinyl cable, resin mold, etc.). If avoiding the vicinity of combustible materials is difficult, protect the combustible material with an incombustible cover. 

   - (3) Surge absorber placed between lines 

         - When the surge absorber is placed between lines, connect a normal type current fuse in series with the surge absorber. 

         - See "Current fuse" in the "Circuit design and circuit board design" section. 

   - (4) Surge absorber placed between a line and the ground 

      - ① When the surge absorber is placed between a line and the ground, even if the surge absorber short-circuits, ground resistance will remain in the section between the line and the ground, leaving a possibility that the current fuse won’t blow, in which case the outer sheath resin of the surge absorber may generate smoke or ignite due to current flow. To prevent such a case, place an earth leakage breaker in a location closer to the power supply than the surge absorber. When not using an earth leakage breaker, use a current fuse and temperature fuse in series with each other. 

         - See Table 1 in the "Circuit design and circuit board design" section. 

      - ② When the surge absorber is placed between a live part and a metal case, it may cause electric shock if the surge absorber short-circuits. To avoid this, ground the metal case or shield it to prevent direct contact with the metal case. 

- In case the surge absorber should short-circuit and generate smoke or ignite, immediately cut off current flow to the surge absorber. 

## ■ Rated voltage for UL certification, etc. 

To allow the surge absorber to meet leak current requirements, etc., a maximum allowable circuit voltage and rated voltage are specified for the surge absorber. 

When applying for UL certification, etc. of a device equipped with a surge absorber, ensure the working voltage of the device does not exceed the rated voltage of the surge absorber. 

- An unexpected sharp rise in the working voltage, an incoming excessive surge, etc., may cause the surge absorber to generate smoke or ignite. 

   - In such a case, fire spreading through the device should be prevented to avoid expanded damage. To achieve this, take a multi-protection measure, such as adopting fire-resistant materials that make up the outer shell components and structural materials.

We issue a delivery specification sheet for each product ordered. Please confirm the delivery specification sheet when you place an order with us. 

## **Circuit design and circuit board design** 

Meet the following requirements. Not following the requirements can result in a shorter lifespan of the surge absorber or its failure. 

- Choose a surge absorber whose maximum allowable circuit voltage has a margin relative to the maximum voltage range including source voltage fluctuations. 

   - See Table 1 in the "Circuit design and circuit board design" section. 

- When surges are applied intermittently to the surge absorber at short intervals (when pulses of voltages are applied in a noise simulator test, etc.), make sure that the surge power does not exceed the maximum average pulse power of the surge absorber. 

- The product numbers of recommended surge absorbers to choose are shown in Table 1. 

   - (1) The case of placing the surge absorber between lines 

When the source voltage is expected to rise temporarily due to unbalanced single-wire loads in a three-phase three-wire connection configuration, a short circuit between a voltage line and a neutral line, loss of the neutral line, or resonance of a capacitive load caused by switching on/off, use a surge absorber (varistor) indicated by "*" in Table 1. 

- (2) The case of placing the surge absorber between a line and the ground 

   - Line-to-ground voltage may rise with a single-wire ground fault, etc. Use a recommended surge absorber in Table 1 that is different from the surge absorber placed between lines. When the device is subjected to an insulation resistance test (500 V DC), use a D-type surge absorber indicated by "**" in Table 1. 

According to "Electrical Appliance Technical Standards" based on the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Act, when using a varistor voltage which would fail the insulation performance test, the surge absorber may be removed from the device when being subjected to the test, depending on circuit test conditions. 

- See attached table 4, appendix 4, "Electrical Appliance Technical Standards" based on the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Act. 

When conducting a withstand voltage test (1000 V AC or 1200 V AC) of the device, use the recommended D type / 

V series surge absorber indicated by "***" in Table 1.

## **Mounting and storage conditions** 

- When soldering the surge absorber, follow recommended soldering conditions shown in the following table so that solder or the insulation material making up the surge absorber is not melted. 

- When making holes for mounting the surge absorber on the board, check the dimensions of the holes on the board, referencing the central point of the interval between the leads. 

Because the overall dimensional tolerance is large, forming the holes with high precision requires careful processing. 

||Soldering method|Recommended conditions|Mater to note|
|---|---|---|---|
|D-type|Flow soldering<br>(solder bath immersion method)|260℃, 10 seconds or less|The D-type surge absorber should not be soldered by reflow<br>soldering.|
|SMD-type|Flow soldering<br>(solder bath immersion method)|260℃, 10 seconds or less|A high component mounting density may lead to poor<br>solderability. In such a case, consider vent hole formation.|
||Reflow soldering<br>(controlled atmosphere heating<br>method)|Refer to the recommended<br>soldering temperature<br>profile.|When a land is excessively larger than the terminal surface of<br>a component, the component may shift position when solder is<br>melted.|



- Note 1: Soldering the surge absorber under soldering conditions different from the recommended soldering conditions requires extra checking to ensure it won’t cause any problems. 

   - Additional soldering is allowed only once. It must be done within 5 seconds, with the soldering iron temperature kept at 400 ℃ or lower. 

- Note 2: A temperature profile may include a large error, depending on the measurement method used. Be careful in such cases. 

- Note 3: Board temperatures vary depending on the sizes of boards and mounting densities. Confirm the temperature for each type of board.

      - Do not perform reflow soldering more than two times. 

- Mounting the surge absorber (SMD-type) 

   - When mounting the surge absorber on the board, make sure that no excessive impact or load, such as pressure from a suction nozzle for mounting the absorber, positional shift, or mechanical impact/stress caused by a positioning of the absorber, is applied to the surge absorber. There are cases where the surge absorber shifts from its intended position when mounted on the board. In such cases, consider a method of bonding the board and the outer sheath resin together. 

- Do not keep the product in a high-temperature or high-humidity condition. Keep the surge absorber in a room with a temperature of 40 ℃ or lower and a relative humidity of 75% or lower and use the surge absorber within two years of storage. Check the solderability of a surge absorber stored for a long period (two years or more) before using the surge absorber. 

- Keep the surge absorber in a place where no corrosive gas atmosphere (hydrogen sulfide, sulfurous acid, chlorine, ammonia, etc.) is present. 

- Keep the surge absorber in a place where the surge absorber is protected from direct sunlight, dew concentration, etc.
