Printed Circuit Board Materials:
The 255D is
compatible with commonly used printed circuit board
materials (alumina substrates, FR4, FR5, G10, PTFE-
fluorocarbon and porcelainized steel).
Recommended Mounting Pad Geometries:
Proper
mounting pad geometries are essential for successful
solder connections. These dimensions are highly
process sensitive and should be designed to minimize
component rework due to unacceptable solder joints.
The dimensional configurations shown are the
recommended pad geometries for both wave and reflow
soldering techniques. These dimensions are intended
to be a starting point for circuit board designers and
may be fine tuned if necessary based upon the
peculiarities of the soldering process and/or circuit
board design.

Attachment:
Solder Paste:
The recommended thickness of the
solder paste after application is .007"
±
.001" [.178mm
±
0.025mm]. Care should be exercised in selecting
the solder paste. The metal purity should be high as
practical. The flux (in the paste) must be active enough
to remove the oxides formed on the metallization prior
to the exposure to soldering heat. In practice this can
be aided by extending the solder preheat time at
temperatures below the liquidous of the solder.
Soldering:
Capacitors can be attached by
conventional soldering techniques - vapor phase,
infrared reflow, wave soldering and hot plate methods.
The Soldering Profile chart shows maximum
recommended mended time/temperature conditions for
soldering. Attachment with a soldering iron is not
recommended due to the difficulty of controlling
temperature and time at temperature. If hand soldering
is necessary, the soldering iron must never come in
contact with the capacitor.

Cleaning (Flux Removal) After Soldering:
The 255D
is compatible with all commonly used solvents such as
TES, TMS, Prelete, Chlorethane, Terpene and aqueous
cleaning media. However, CFC/ODS products are not
used in the production of these devices and are not
recommended. Solvents containing methylene chloride
or other epoxy solvents should be avoided since these
will attack the epoxy encapsulation material.
When using ultrasonic cleaning, the board may
resonate if the output power is too high. This vibration
can cause cracking or a decrease in the adherence-
of the termination. DO NOT EXCEED 9W/L @ 40kHz
for 2 minutes.

10. Leakage Current:
Slight increases in DC leakage may
be observed occassionally following normal reflow
solder conditions, unbiased high-temp storage,
elevated levels of humidity exposure, and temperture
cycling. In such instances, the leakage currrent will
typically decrease when voltage is applied to the device.
