_(1) Insert lead and packaging code. See Ordering Options Table for available options._ 

## **Soldering Process** 

The implementation of the RoHS Directive has required the use of SnAgCu (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 Profiles or contact a KEMET representative. IEC Publication 61760–1 Edition 2 may also be consulted for general guidelines.
