Soldering

1.1

Solderability of leads

The solderability of terminal leads is tested to IEC 60068-2-20:2008, test Ta, method 1.

Before a solderability test is carried out, terminals are subjected to accelerated ageing (to

IEC 60068-2-2:2007, test Ba: 4 h exposure to dry heat at 155 C). Since the ageing temperature

is far higher than the upper category temperature of the capacitors, the terminal wires should be

cut off from the capacitor before the ageing procedure to prevent the solderability being impaired

by the products of any capacitor decomposition that might occur.

1.2

Resistance to soldering heat

Resistance to soldering heat is tested to IEC 60068-2-20:2008, test Tb, method 1. Conditions:

Solder bath temperature

235 ±5 °C

Soldering time

2.0 ±0.5 s

Immersion depth

2.0 +0/-0.5 mm from capacitor body or seating plane

Evaluation criteria:

Visual inspection

Wetting of wire surface by new solder 90%, free-flow-
