Recommendation for Processing and Application of Through-Hole Capacitors

Soldering Process

Internal temperature of the capacitor must be kept as follows:

Polyester: preheating:
soldering:
Tmax < 125° C
Tmax < 135° C
Polypropylene: preheating:
soldering:
Tmax < 100° C
Tmax < 110° C

Single wave soldering:
Soldering bath temperature: T < 260°C
Dwell time: t < 5 sec
Double wave soldering:
Soldering bath temperature T < 260°C
Dwell time: ∑ t < 5 sec

Wave soldering

Typical temperature/time graph for double wave soldering.



Due to different soldering processes and heat requirements the graphs are to be regarded as a recommendation only.
