The components in this catalog are manufactured with ceramic dielectrics. To minimize possible damage to the components
during installation, the recommendations below should be followed. For information concerning other installation require-
ments and/or component modifications, consult TUSONIX Customer Engineering at (520) 744-0400.
General RecommendationsGeneral Recommendations
General RecommendationsGeneral Recommendations
General Recommendations
Handling: Excessive force or direct impact to the component may result in breakage. Lead bending or cutting,
if necessary, should be done with a support for the lead to prevent mechanical stress to the
component. Components with required lead modifications are available from TUSONIX.
Lead Soldering: Use a temperature controlled soldering iron with SN60 or SN63 RMA Flux core wire. Maximum
soldering temperature to be 500°F(260°C) with a dwell time of 3 seconds maximum. The use of a
heat sink between the component body and the solder joint is highly recommended.
Flux Removal: Optimum flux removal can be achieved by vapor degreasing the components immediately after the
soldering operation. Total immersion of the components is not recommended.

Mounting: Use a convection or infrared oven and SN60 or SN63 solder paste, or solder preforms, with RMA
Flux. The oven profile should slowly heat the entire assembly to a reflow temperature of 430°F
(221°C), with a rate of change not to exceed 5°F,3°C/Sec. and a dwell time as short as possible.
Internal Use a temperature controlled soldering iron with SN62 silver bearing (2%) RMA Flux core solder
Electrode wire. The components should be preheated to 300°F (150°C), then soldered with a maximum
Soldering: temperature of 500°F (260°C) and a dwell of 3 seconds maximum.
