Film Capacitors – AC Line EMI Suppression and RC Networks PME278, Metallized Impregnated Paper, Class X1, 440 VAC 

## **Soldering Process** 

The implementation of the RoHS directive has resulted in the selection of SnAuCu (SAC) alloys or SnCu alloys as primary solder. This has increased the liquidus temperature from that of 183ºC for SnPb eutectic alloy to 217 – 221ºC for the new alloys. As a result, the heat stress to the components, even in wave soldering, has increased considerably due to higher pre-heat and wave temperatures. Polypropylene capacitors are especially sensitive to heat (the melting point of polypropylene is 160 – 170ºC). Wave soldering can be destructive, especially for mechanically small polypropylene capacitors (with lead spacing of 5 – 15 mm), and great care must be taken during soldering. The recommended solder profiles from KEMET should be used. Consult KEMET with any questions. In general, the wave soldering curve from IEC Publication 61760-1 Edition 2 serves as a solid guideline for successful soldering. See Figure 1. 

Reflow soldering is not recommended for through-hole film capacitors. Exposing capacitors to a soldering profile in excess of the recommended limits may result in degradation of or permanent damage to the capacitors. 

Do not place the polypropylene capacitor through an adhesive curing oven to cure resin for surface-mount components. Insert through-hole parts after curing the surface-mount parts. Consult KEMET to discuss the actual temperature profile in the oven, if through-hole components must pass through the adhesive curing process. A maximum of two soldering cycles is recommended. Allow time for the capacitor surface temperature to return to a normal temperature before the second soldering cycle. 

## **Manual Soldering Recommendations**

_Temperature monitored inside the capacitor._ 

## **Selective Soldering Recommendations** 

Selective dip soldering is a variation of reflow soldering. In this method, the printed circuit board with through-hole components to be soldered is preheated and transported over the solder bath, as in normal flow soldering, without touching the solder. When the board is over the bath, it is stopped. Pre-designed solder pots are lifted from the bath with molten solder, only at the places of the selected components, and pressed against the lower surface of the board to solder the components. 

The temperature profile for selective soldering is similar to the double wave flow soldering outlined in this document. **However, instead of two baths, there is only one with a time from 3 to 10 seconds.** In selective soldering, the risk of overheating is greater than in double wave flow soldering. Great care must be taken so that the parts do not overheat.

All product specifi cations, statements, information and data (collectively, the “Information”) in this datasheet are subject to change. The customer is responsible for checking and verifying the extent to which the Information contained in this publication is applicable to an order at the time the order is placed. 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 not intended to constitute – and KEMET specifi cally disclaims – any warranty concerning suitability for a specifi c customer application or use. The Information is intended for use only by customers who have the requisite experience and capability to determine the correct products for their application.

Although KEMET designs and manufactures its products to the most stringent quality and safety standards, given the current state of the art, isolated component failures may still occur. Accordingly, customer applications which require a high degree of reliability or safety should employ suitable designs or other safeguards (such as installation of protective 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.
