Overview
The R46 series is constructed of metallized polypropylene
lmencapsulatedwithself-extinguishingresininaboxof
material that meets the requirements of UL 94 V–0.
Applications
For worldwide use in electromagnetic interference (EMI)
suppression in across-the-line applications that require X2
safetyclassication.Intendedforuseinsituationsinwhich
capacitorfailurewouldnotresultinexposuretoelectric
shock. Not for use in "series with mains" type applications.

Metallized Polypropylene Film EMI Suppression Capacitors
R46 (Miniature), Class X2, 275 VAC, 110°C
Soldering Process
The implementation of the RoHS directive has resulted in the selection of SnAuCu (SAC) alloys or SnCu alloys as primary
soldermaterial.Thishasincreasedtheliquidustemperaturefrom183°CforSnPbeutecticalloysto217–221°Cforthenew
alloys.Asaresult,theheatstresstothecomponents,eveninwavesoldering,hasincreasedconsiderablyduetohigherpre-
heat and wave temperatures. Polypropylene capacitors are especially sensitive to heat (the melting point of polypropylene
is160–170°C).Wavesolderingcanbedestructive,especiallyformechanicallysmallpolypropylenecapacitors(withlead
spacingof5–15mm).Greatcaremustbetakenduringsoldering.TherecommendedsolderprolesfromKEMETshouldbe
used.ConsultKEMETwithanyquestions.Ingeneral,thewavesolderingcurvefromIECPublication61760-1Edition2serves
as a solid guideline for successful soldering. See Figure 1.
Reowsolderingisnotrecommendedforthrough-holelmcapacitors.Exposingcapacitorstoasolderingproleinexcess
oftheabove-recommendedlimitsmayresulttodegradationoforpermanentdamagetothecapacitors.
Do not place the polypropylene capacitor through an adhesive curing oven to cure resin for surface mount components.
Insertthrough-holepartsaftercuringsurfacemountparts.ConsultKEMETtodiscusstheactualtemperatureprolein
theoven,ifthrough-holecomponentsmustpassthroughtheadhesivecuringprocess.Amaximumtwosolderingcycles
isrecommended.Allowtimeforthecapacitorsurfacetemperaturetoreturntonormaltemperaturebeforeperformingthe
second soldering cycle.
Manual Soldering Recommendations
Following is the recommendation for manual
soldering with a soldering iron.
The soldering iron tip temperature should
besetat350°C(+10°Cmaximum),withthe
solderingdurationnottoexceedmorethan
3 seconds.

Selective Soldering Recommendations
Selectivedipsolderingisavariationofreowsoldering.Inthismethod,theprintedcircuitboardwiththrough-hole
componentstobesolderedispreheatedandtransportedoverthesolderbathasitisinnormalowsoldering,without
touchingthesolder.Whentheboardisoverthebath,itisstopped.Pre-designedsolderpotsareliftedfromthebathwith
moltensolder,onlyattheplacesoftheselectedcomponents,andpressedagainstthelowersurfaceoftheboardtosolder
the components.
Thetemperatureproleforselectivesolderingissimilartothedoublewaveowsolderingoutlinedinthisdocument.
However, instead of two baths, there is only one with a time from 3 – 10 seconds. In selective soldering, the risk of
overheatingisgreaterthanindoublewaveowsoldering,andgreatcaremustbetakensothatthepartsdonotoverheat.
