When a resin s hardening temperature is higher than the capacitor s operating temperature. The stresses generated by the excess heat may lead to capacitor damage or destruction. The use of such resins molding materials is not recommended. 7. Handling Breakaway PC boards (splitting along Mechanical considerations perforations) 1. 1. excessive mechanical shocks. When splitting the PC board after mounting capacitors and other components, (1) If ceramic capacitors are dropped onto the floor or a hard surface, they should not be used. care is required so as not to give any (2) When handling the mounted boards, be careful that stresses of twisting to board. 2. Be careful not to subject the capacitors to the mounted components do not come in contact with Board separation should not be done or bump against other boards or components. manually, but by using the appropriate devices. 8.Storage Storage Condition 1. To maintain the solderability of terminal s 1. If the parts are stored in a high temperature and humidity environment, problems such as electrodes and to keep the packaging reduced solderability caused by oxidation of material in good condition, care must be terminal electrodes and deterioration of taken to control temperature and humidity taping/packaging materials may take place. For in the storage area. Humidity should this reason, components should be used within especially be kept as low as possible. 6 months from the rime of delivery. If exceeding Recommended conditions the above period, please check solderability Temperature before using the capacitors. Humidity 0 40 Below 70% RH The room temperature must below 40 .Even under ideal storage conditions capacitor electrode solderability decreased as time passes, so ceramic chip capacitors should be used within 6 months from the time of delivery. The packaging material should be kept where nochlorine or sulfur exist in the air. 2.The capacitance value of high dielectric constant capacitors (type 2&3) will gradually decrease with the Passage of time, so this should be taken into consideration in the circuit design. If such a capacitance reduction occurs, a heat treatment of 150 160 for 1 hour will return the capacitance to its initial level.
