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.
