■Design Considerations
●Design guide
While operating at IF<1mA, CTR variation may increase.
Please make design considering this fact.
This product is not designed against irradiation and incorporates non-coherent IRED.
●Degradation
In general, the emission of the IRED used in photocouplers will degrade over time.
In the case of long term operation, please take the general IRED degradation (50% degradation over 5
years) into the design consideration.

■Manufacturing Guidelines
●Soldering Method
Refl ow Soldering :
Refl ow soldering should follow the temperature profi le shown below.
Soldering should not exceed the curve of temperature profi le and time.
Please don't solder more than twice.
Flow Soldering :
Due to SHARP's double transfer mold construction submersion in flow solder bath is allowed under the
below listed guidelines.
Flow soldering should be completed below 270C and within 10s.
Preheating is within the bounds of 100 to 150C and 30 to 80s.
Please don't solder more than twice.
Hand soldering
Hand soldering should be completed within 3s when the point of solder iron is below 400C.
Please don't solder more than twice
Other notice
Please test the soldering method in actual condition and make sure the soldering works fine, since
the impact on the junction between the device and PCB varies depending on the tooling and soldering
conditions.

●Cleaning instructions
Solvent cleaning :
Solvent temperature should be 45˚C or below. Immersion time should be 3 minutes or less.
Ultrasonic cleaning :
The impact on the device varies depending on the size of the cleaning bath, ultrasonic output, cleaning time,
size of PCB and mounting method of the device.
Therefore, please make sure the device withstands the ultrasonic cleaning in actual conditions in advance of
mass production.
Recommended solvent materials :
Ethyl alcohol, Methyl alcohol and Isopropyl alcohol.
In case the other type of solvent materials are intended to be used, please make sure they work fine in
actual using conditions since some materials may erode the packaging resin.
●Presence of ODC
This product shall not contain the following materials.
And they are not used in the production process for this product.
Regulation substances : CFCs, Halon, Carbon tetrachloride, 1.1.1-Trichloroethane (Methylchloroform)
Specifi c brominated fl ame retardants such as the PBB and PBDE are not used in this product at all.
This product shall not contain the following materials banned in the RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC).
•Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Hexavalent chromium, Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), Polybrominated
diphenyl ethers (PBDE).
