24-Aug-22 

**Multilayer Varistors (Automotive grade)** 

## ~~LT~~ **Operating conditions and circuit design** 

## **1. Circuit design** 

## **1.1 Operating temperature and storage temperature** 

When operating a components-mounted circuit, please be sure to observe the “Operating Temperature Range”, written in delivery specifications. Storage temperature of PCB after mounting Varistors, which is not operated, should be within the specified “Storage Temperature Range” in the delivery specifications. Please remember not to use the product under the condition that exceeds the specified maximum temperature. 

## **1.2 Operating voltage** 

The Varistors shall not be operated in excess of the “Maximum allowable voltage”. If the Varistors are operated beyond the specified Maximum allowable voltage, it may cause short and/or damage due to thermal run away. The circuit that continuously applies high frequency and/or steep pulse voltage please examines the reliability of the Varistor even if it is used within a “Maximum allowable voltage”. Also, it would be safer to check also the safety and reliability of your circuit. 

## **1.3 Self-heating** 

The surface temperature of the Varistors shall be under the specified Maximum Operating Temperature in the Specifications including the temperature rise caused by self-heating. Check the temperature rise of the Varistor in your circuit. 

## **1.4 Environmental restrictions** 

The Varistors does not take the use under the following special environments into consideration. Accordingly, the use in the following special environments, and such environmental conditions may affect the performance of the product; prior to use, verify the performance, reliability, etc. thoroughly. 

- ① Use in liquids such as water, oil, chemical, and organic solvent. 

- ② Use under direct sunlight, in outdoor or in dusty atmospheres. 

- ③ Use in places full of corrosive gases such as sea breeze, Cl2，H2S，NH3，SO2，and NOx. 

- ④ Use in environment with large static electricity or strong electromagnetic waves or strong radial ray. 

- ⑤ Where the product is close to a heating component, or where an inflammable such as a polyvinyl chloride wire is arranged close to the product. 

- ⑥ Where this product is sealed or coated with resin etc. 

- ⑦ Where solvent, water, or water-soluble detergent is used in flux cleaning after soldering. 

   - (Pay particular attention to water-soluble flux.) 

- ⑧ Use in such a place where the product is wetted due to dew condensation. 

- ⑨ Use the product in a contaminated state. 

   - Ex.) Do not handle the product such as sticking sebum directly by touching the product after mounting printed circuit board.

## **2. Design of printed circuit board** 

## **2.1 Selection of printed circuit boards** 

There is a possibility of performance deterioration by heat shock (temperature cycles), which causes cracks, from alumina substrate. Please confirm that the substrate you use does not deteriorate the Varistors’ quality. 

- **2.２ Design of land pattern** 

   - (1) Recommended land dimensions are shown below. Use the proper amount of solder in order to prevent cracking. Using too much solder places excessive stress on the Varistors. 

Recommended land dimensions(Ex.) 

SMD Unit : mm Land Size code Component dimensions a b c / EIA L W T Solder resist 0(0402) 1.0 0.5 0.5 0.4 to 0.5 0.4 to 0.5 0.4 to 0.5 1(0603) 1.6 0.8 0.8 0.8 to 1.0 0.6 to 0.8 0.6 to 0.8 b a ~~a aT~~ (2) The land size shall be designed to have equal space, on both right and left side. If the amount of  solder on the right land is different from that of the left land, the component may be cracked by stress since the side with a larger amount of solder solidifies later during cooling. 

Recommended amount of solder 

(a) Excessive amount (b) Proper amount (c) Insufficient amount 

24-Aug-22 

**Multilayer Varistors (Automotive grade)** 

## **2.3 Utilization of solder resist**

**Multilayer Varistors (Automotive grade)** 

## ~~eee~~ **Precautions for assembly** 

## **1. Storage** 

- (1) The Varistors shall be stored between 5 to 40 ℃ 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 12 months. Check the solderability of products that have been stored for more than 12 months before use. 

## **2. Adhesives for Mounting** 

- (1) The amount and viscosity of an adhesive for mounting shall be such that the adhesive will not flow off on the land during its curing. 

- (2) If the amount of adhesive is insufficient for mounting, the Varistors may fall off after or during soldering. 

- (3) Low-viscosity of the adhesive causes displacement of Varistors. 

- (4) The heat-curing methods for adhesive are ultraviolet radiation, far-infrared radiation, and so on. In order to prevent the terminal electrodes of the Varistors from oxidizing, the curing shall be under the following conditions:160 °C max., for 2 minutes max. 

- (5) Insufficient curing may cause the Varistors to fall off after or during soldering. In addition, insulation resistance between terminal electrodes may deteriorate due to moisture absorption. In order to prevent these problems, please observe proper curing conditions. 

## **3. Chip Mounting Consideration** 

- (1) When mounting the Varistors components on a PC board, the Varistor 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 Varistor will crack from excessive force during mounting. Pease refer to the following precautions and recommendations. 

   - (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 secondary. 

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

**Multilayer Varistors (Automotive grade)** 

## **4. Selection of soldering flux** 

Soldering flux may seriously affect the performance of the Varistors. Please confirm enough whether the soldering flux have an influence on performance of the Varistors or not, before using. 

## **5. Soldering** 

## **5.1 Flow soldering** 

When conducting flow soldering, stress from abrupt temperature change is applied to the Varistors, so the temperature, especially temperature of solder should be controlled very carefully. Varistors should not be subjected to abrupt temperature change because it causes occurrence of thermal cracks as a result of excessive thermal stress inside of the Varistors from flow soldering. You should be careful to temperature difference. Therefore it is essential that soldering process follow these recommended conditions. 

- (1) Application of Soldering flux : 

The soldering flux shall be applied to the mounted Varistors thinly and uniformly by foaming method. 

- (2) Preheating : Conduct sufficient pre-heating, and make sure that the temperature  difference between solder and Varistors’ surface is 150 ℃ or less. 

- (3) Immersion into Soldering bath : 

The Varistors shall be immersed into a soldering bath of 240 to 260 °C for 3 to 5 seconds. 

- (4) Gradual Cooling : After soldering, avoid rapid cooling (forced cooling) and conduct gradual cooling, so that thermal cracks do not occur. 

- (5) Flux Cleaning : When the Varistors are immersed into a cleaning solvent, be sure that the surface temperatures of devices do not exceed 100 ℃. 

- (6) Performing flow soldering once under the conditions shown in the figure below 

- [Recommended profile of Flow soldering (Ex.)] will not cause any problems. 

   - However, pay attention to the possible warp and bending of the PC board.

## **5.2 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 Varistors caused by rapid heat application to the Varistors 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.

**Multilayer Varistors (Automotive grade)** 

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 Varistors 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. 

## **5.3 Hand soldering** 

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

- Control the temperature of the soldering tips with special care. 

- Avoid the direct contact of soldering tips with the Varistors and/or terminal electrodes. 

- Do not reuse dismounted Varistors. 

- (1) Condition 1 (with preheating) 

   - (a) Soldering : Use thread solder (ø1.0 mm or below) which contains flux with low chlorine, developed for precision electronic equipment.

**Multilayer Varistors (Automotive grade)** 

## **6. Post soldering cleaning** 

## **6.1 Cleaning solvent** 

Soldering flux residue may remain on the PC board if cleaned with an inappropriate solvent. This may deteriorate the performance of Varistors, especially insulation resistance. 

## **6.2 Cleaning conditions** 

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

- (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 Varistors 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 Varistors 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. 

## **6.3 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. 

## **7. Inspection process** 

The pressure from measuring terminal pins might bend the PCB when implementing circuit inspection after mounting Varistors 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.

## **8. 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  Varistors, 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 Varistors. 

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

## **9. Dividing / Breaking of PC boards** 

- (1) Please be careful not to stress the substrate with bending/twisting when dividing, after mounting components including Varistors. Abnormal and excessive mechanical stress such as bending or torsion shown below can cause cracking in the Varistors. 

**==> picture [142 x 9] intentionally omitted <==**

Bending Torsion<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


- (2) Dividing/Breaking of the PC boards shall be done carefully at moderate speed by using a jig or apparatus to prevent the Varistors on the boards from mechanical damage. 

24-Aug-22 

**Multilayer Varistors (Automotive grade)** 

- (3) Examples of PCB dividing/breaking jigs: The outline of PC board breaking jig is shown below. When PC board are broken or divided, loading points should be close to the jig to minimize the extent of the bending. Also, planes with no parts mounted on should be used as plane of loading, in order to prevent tensile stress induced by the bending, which may cause cracks of the Varistors or other parts mounted on the PC boards.

## **10. Mechanical Impact** 

- (1) The Varistors shall be free from any excessive mechanical impact. The Varistor body is made of ceramics and may be damaged or cracked if dropped. Never use a Varistor which has been dropped; their quality may already be impaired, and in that case, failure rate will increase. 

- (2) When handling PC boards with Varistors mounted on them, do not allow the Varistors 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 Varistors, and the impact of the strike may cause damage or cracking and can deteriorate the withstand voltage and insulation resistance of the Varistor.
