These components are designed to suppress ESD events, including those specified in IEC 610004-2 or other standards used for Electromagnetic Compliance testing. The MLE Series is typically applied to protect integrated circuits and other components at the circuit board level operating at 18VDC, or less. The fabrication method and materials of these devices result in capacitance characteristics suitable for high frequency attenuation/low-pass filter circuit functions, thereby providing suppression and filtering in a single device. The MLE Series is manufactured from semiconducting ceramics and is supplied in a leadless, surface mount package. The MLE Series is compatible with modern reflow and wave soldering procedures. Littelfuse Inc. manufactures other Multilayer Series products. See the ML Series data sheet for higher energy/peak current transient applications. See the AUML Series for automotive applications and the MLN Quad Array. For high speed applications see the MHS series. ## _**Features**_ - RoHS Compliant - Rated for ESD (IEC-61000-4-2) - Characterized for Impedance and Capacitance - •-55[o] C to +125[o] C Operating Temperature Range - Leadless 0402, 0603, 0805, and 1206 sizes - Operating Voltages up to 18VM(DC) - Multilayer Ceramic Construction Technology ## _**Size**_ |Metric|EIA| |---|---| |1005|0402| |1608|0603| |2012|0805| |3216|1206| ## _**Applications**_ - Protection of Components and Circuits Sensitive to ESD Transients Occurring on Power Supplies, Control and Signal Lines - Suppression of ESD Events Such as Specified in IEC-61000-4-2 or MIL-STD-883C Method-3015.7, for Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC) - Used in Mobile Communications, Computer/EDP Products, Medical Products, Hand Held/Portable Devices, Industrial Equipment, Including Diagnostic Port Protection and I/O Interfaces 162 ~~—_+>—_~~ w w w. l i t t e l f u s e . c o m ~~JT.

## **Lead (Pb) Soldering Recommendations** The principal techniques used for the soldering of components in surface mount technology are IR Re-flow & Wave soldering. Typical profiles are shown in Figures 5 & 6 The recommended solder for the ML suppressor is a 62/36/2 (Sn/Pb/Ag), 60/40 (Sn/Pb) or 63/37 (Sn/Pb). Littelfuse also recommends an RMA solder flux. Wave soldering is the most strenuous of the processes. To avoid the possibility of generating stresses due to thermal shock, a preheat stage in the soldering process is recommended, and the peak temperature of the solder process should be rigidly controlled. _**5.**_ When using a reflow process, care should be taken to ensure that the ML chip is not subjected to a thermal gradient steeper than 4 degrees per second; the ideal gradient being 2 degrees per second. During the soldering process, preheating to within 100 degrees of the solderís peak temperature is essential to minimize thermal shock. Once the soldering process has been completed, it is still necessary to ensure that any further thermal shocks are avoided. One possible cause of thermal shock is hot printed circuit boards being removed from the solder process and subjected to cleaning solvents at room temperature. The boards must be allowed to cool gradually to less than 50˚C before cleaning. ## **Lead-Free (Pb-free) Soldering Recommendations** Littelfuse offers the Nickel-Barrier termination finish for the optimum Pbfree solder performance. The preferred solder is 96.5/3.0/0.5 (SnAgCu) with an RMA flux, but there is a wide selection of pastes & fluxes available with which the nickel barrier parts should be compatible. The reflow profile must be constrained by maximums shown in Figure7. For Pb-free Wave soldering, Figure 6 still applies. Note: the Pb-free paste, flux & profile were used for evaluation purposes by Littelfuse, based upon industry standards & practices. There are multiple choices of all three available, it is advised that the customer explores the optimum combination for their process as processes vary considerably from site to site. _**6.**_ **==> picture [203 x 147] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**
