1. INTRODUCTION
MLCC consists of a conducting material and electrodes. To manufacture a chip-type SMT and achieve
miniaturization, high density and high efficiency, ceramic condensers are used.
WTC HH series MLCC is used at high frequencies generally have a small temperature coefficient of capacitance,
typical within the ±30ppm/°C required for NP0 (C0G) classification and have excellent conductivity internal electrode.
Thus, WTC HH series MLCC will be with the feature of low ESR and high Q characteristics.

◙ Constructions
◙ Storage and handling conditions
(1) To store products at 5 to 40°C ambient temperature and 20 to 70%. related humidity conditions.
(2) The product is recommended to be used within one year after shipment. Check solderability in case of shelf life
extension is needed.
Cautions:
a. Don’t store products in a corrosive environment such as sulfide, chloride gas, or acid. It may cause oxidization
of electrode, which easily be resulted in poor soldering.
b. To store products on the shelf and avoid exposure to moisture.
c. Don’t expose products to excessive shock, vibration, direct sunlight and so on.
◙ Recommended soldering conditions
The lead-free termination MLCCs are not only to be used on SMT against lead-free solder paste, but also suitable
against lead-containing solder paste. If the optimized solder joint is requested, increasing soldering time, temperature
and concentration of N
2
within oven are recommended.
