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
