Product Characteristic data 2-1. Capacitance The capacitance is the ratio of the change in an electric charge according to voltage change. Due to the fact that the capacitance may be subject to change with the measured voltage and frequency, it is highly recommended to measure the capacitance based on the following conditions. 2-1-1. Measure capacitance with voltage and frequency specified in this document. Regarding the voltage/frequency condition for capacitance measurement of each MLCC model, please make sure to follow a section "C. Reliability test Condition - Capacitance" in this document. The following table shows the voltage and frequency condition according to the capacitance range. [The voltage and frequency condition according to MLCC the capacitance range] Class I Capacitance Frequency 1,000 pF 1 MHz 10% > 1,000 pF 1 kHz 10% Voltage 0.5 ~ 5 Vrms Class II Capacitance Frequency Voltage 10 1 kHz 10% 1.0 0.2 Vrms > 10 120 Hz 20% 0.5 0.1 Vrms Exception* 1 kHz 10% 0.5 0.1 Vrms Capacitance shall be measured after the heat treatment of 150+0/-10 for 1hr, leaving at room temperature for 242hr. (Class II) 2-1-2. It is recommended to use measurement equipment with the ALC (Auto Level Control) option. The reason is that when capacitance or measurement frequency is high, the output voltage of measurement equipment can be lower than the setting voltage due to the equipment limitation. Note that when capacitance or measurement frequency is excessively high, the measurement equipment may show ALC off warning and provide a lower output voltage than the setting voltage even with ALC option selected. It is necessary to ensure the output voltage of measurement equipment is the same as the setting voltage before measuring capacitance. 10 MLCC Product Manual 2-1-3. Capacitance value of high dielectric constant (Class II) MLCC changes with applied AC and DC voltage. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account MLCC's AC voltage characteristics and DCbias voltage characteristics when applying MLCC to the actual circuit. 2-1-4. The capacitance is in compliance with the EIA RS-198-1-F-2002. 2-2. Tan (DF) 2-2-1. An ideal MLCC's energy loss is zero, but real MLCC has dielectric loss and resistance loss of electrode. DF (Dissipation Factor) is defined as the ratio of loss energy to stored energy and typically being calculated as percentage. 2-2-2. Quality factor (Q factor) is defined as the ratio of stored energy to loss energy. The equation can be described as 1/DF. Normally the loss characteristic of Class I MLCC is presented in Q, since the DF value is so small whereas the loss characteristic of Class II MLCC is presented in DF. 2-2-3. It is recommended to use Class I MLCC for applications to require good linearity and low loss such as coupling circuit, filter circuit and time constant circuit. 2-3. Insulation Resistance Ceramic dielectric has a low leakage current with DC voltage due to the high insulating properties. Insulation resistance is defined as the ratio of a leakage current to DC voltage. 2-3-1. When applying DC voltage to MLCC, a charging current and a leakage current flow together at the initial stage of measurement. While the charging current decreases, and insulation resistance (IR) in MLCC is saturated by time. Therefore, insulation resistance shall be measured 1 minute after applying the rated voltage. 2-4. Capacitance Aging The aging characteristic is that the high dielectric (Class II) MLCC decreases capacitance value over time. It is also necessary to consider the aging characteristic with voltage and temperature characteristics when Class II MLCC is used in circuitry. 11 MLCC Pro oduct Manual 2-4-1. In ge eneral, aging g causes cap pacitance to decrease lin nearly with th he log of tim me as shown n in the follow wing graph.

Impedance Characteristic Electrrical impedance (Z) of MLCC M is the m measuremen nt of the opp position thatt MLCC pressents to a curre ent (I) when a voltage (V V) is applied. It is defined d as the ratio o of the volttage to the current c (Z=V//I). Impedan nce extends the t concept of resistancce to AC circuits and is a complex number consiisting of the real part off resistance ((R) and the imaginary i pa art of reactaance (X) as Z=R+jX. Z There efore, it is re equired to de esign circuit with consid deration of th he impedancce characterristics of MLCC C based on the t frequenccy ( Z = R + jX ) 2-8-1. MLCC operates as a a capacito or in the low w frequency and its reactance (XC) d decreases ass frequency incre eases ( X_C=1/j2fC ) wh here f is freq quency and C is capacita ance. The resistance (E ESR; Equivale ent Series Reesistance) off MLCC in th he low frequeency mainly comes from m the loss of its dielectricc material. 2-8-2. MLCC operates as a an inducttor in the hig gh frequency y and the inductance off MLCC is ca alled ESL (Equiivalent Serie es Inductance e). The reacttance (XL) off MLCC in th he high frequ uency increa ases as frequ uency increases ( X_L=j2 2fESL ).

Not N recomm mended 19 Recommended MLCC Product Manual 4-2. Caution before Mounting 4-2-1. It is recommended to store and use MLCC in a reel. Do not re-use MLCC that was isolated from the reel. 4-2-2. Check the capacitance characteristics under actual applied voltage. 4-2-3. Check the mechanical stress when actual process and equipment is in use. 4-2-4. Check the rated capacitance, rated voltage and other electrical characteristics before assembly. Heat treatment must be done prior to measurement of capacitance. 4-2-5. Check the solderability of MLCC that has passed shelf life before use. 4-2-6. The use of Sn-Zn based solder may deteriorate the reliability of MLCC. 4-3. Cautions during Mounting with Mounting (pick-and-place) Machines 4-3-1. Mounting Head Pressure Excessive pressure may cause cracks in MLCC. It is recommended to adjust the nozzle pressure within the maximum value of 300g.f. Additional conditions must be set for both thin film and special purpose MLCC. 4-3-2. Bending Stress When using a two-sided substrate, it is required to mount MLCC on one side first before mounting on the other side due to the bending of the substrate caused by the mounting head. Support the substrate as shown in the picture below when MLCC is mounted on the other side. If the substrate is not supported, bending of the substrate may cause cracks in MLCC. 4-3-3. Suction nozzle Dust accumulated in a suction nozzle and suction mechanism can impede a smooth movement of the nozzle. This may cause cracks in MLCC due to the excessive force during mounting. If the mounting claw is worn out, it may cause cracks in MLCC due to the uneven force during positioning. A regular inspection such as maintenance, monitor and replacement for the suction nozzle and mounting claw should be conducted. 20 MLCC Pro oduct Manual 4-4.

Reflow temperature The following quality problem may occur when MLCC is mounted with a lower temperature than the reflow temperature recommended by a solder manufacturer. The specified peak temperature must be maintained after taking into consideration the factors such as the placement of peripheral constituent and the reflow temperature. Drop in solder wettability Solder voids Potential occurrence of whisker Drop in adhesive strength Drop in self-alignment properties Potential occurrence of tombstones 4-4-3. Cooling Natural cooling with air is recommended. 4-4-4. Optimum solder flux for reflow soldering * Overly the thick application of solder pastes results in an excessive solder fillet height. This makes MLCC more vulnerable to the mechanical and thermal stress from the board, which may cause cracks in MLCC. * Too little solder paste results in a lack of the adhesive strength, which may cause MLCC to isolate from PCB * Check if solder has been applied uniformly after soldering is completed. Not enough solder Too Much Solder Weak holding force may cause bad large stress may cause cracks connections or detaching of the capacitor * It is required to design a PCB with consideration of a solder land pattern and its size to apply an appropriate amount of solder to MLCC. The amount of the solder at the edge may impact directly on cracks in MLCC. * The design of a suitable solder land is necessary since the more the solder amount is, the larger the force MLCC experiences and the higher the chance MLCC cracks. 22 MLCC Pro oduct Manual 4-5.

Soldering Iron Manual soldering can pose a great risk on creating thermal cracks in MLCC. The high temperature soldering iron tip may come into a direct contact with the ceramic body of MLCC due to the carelessness of an operator. Therefore, the soldering iron must be handled carefully, and close attention must be paid to the selection of the soldering iron tip and to temperature control of the tip. 4-6-1. How to use a soldering Iron * In order to minimize damages on MLCC, preheating MLCC and PCB is necessary. A hot plate and a hot air type preheater should be used for preheating . Do not cool down MLCC and PCB rapidly after soldering. * Keep the contact time between the outer termination of MLCC and the soldering iron as short as possible. Long soldering time may cause problems such as adhesion deterioration by the leaching phenomenon of the outer termination. Variation of Soldering Pre-heating Soldering Cooling Temp.

How to use a spot heater Compared to local heating using a solder iron, heat by a spot heater heats the overall MLCC and the PCB, which is likely to lessen the thermal shocks. For a high density PCB, a spot heater can prevent the problem to connect between a solder iron and MLCC directly. * If the distance from the air nozzle outlet to MLCC is too close, MLCC may be cracked due to the thermal stress. Follow the conditions set in the table below to prevent this problem. * The spot heater application angle as shown in the figure is recommended to create a suitable solder fillet shape. 24 MLCC Product Manual Distance 5 Hot Air Application angle 45 Hot Air Temperature Nozzle Outlet 400 Application Time 10s 4-6-3. Cautions for re-work * Too much solder amount will increase the risk of PCB bending or cause other damages. * Too little solder amount will result in MLCC breaking loose from the PCB due to the inadequate adhesive strength. * Check if the solder has been applied properly and ensure the solder fillet has a proper shape. * Soldering wire below o0.5mm is required for soldering. 4-7. Cleaning 4-7-1. In general, cleaning is unnecessary if rosin flux is used. When acidic flux is used strongly, chlorine in the flux may dissolve into some types of cleaning fluids, thereby affecting the performance of MLCC. This means that the cleansing solution must be carefully selected and should always be new. 4-7-2. Cautions for cleaning MLCC or solder joint may be cracked with the vibration of PCB, if ultrasonic vibration is too strong during cleaning. When high pressure cleaning equipment is used, test should be done for the cleaning equipment and its process before the cleaning in order to avoid damages on MLCC. 25 MLCC Product Manual 4-8. Cautions for using electrical measuring probes * Confirm the position of the support pin or jig when checking the electrical performance of MLCC after mounting on the PCB. * Watch for PCB bending caused by the pressure of a test-probe or other equipment. * If the PCB is bent by the force from the test probe, MLCC may be cracked or the solder joint may be damaged. * Avoid PCB flexing by using the support pin on the back side of the PCB. * Place equipment with the support pin as close to the test-probe as possible. * Prevent shock vibrations of the board when the test-probe contacts a PCB. Not recommended Recommended 4-9. Printed Circuit Board Cropping * Do not apply any stress to MLCC such as bending or twisting the board after mounting MLCC on the PCB. * The stress as shown may cause cracks in MLCC when cutting the board. * Cracked MLCC may cause degradation to the insulation resistance, thereby causing short circuit. * Avoid these types of stresses applied to MLCC. [Bending] [Twisting] 4-9-1. Cautions for cutting PCB Check a cutting method of PCB in advance. The high density board is separated into many individual boards after the completion of soldering. If the board is bent or deformed during separation, MLCC may be cracked. Carefully select a separation method that minimizes the deformation of the PCB. 26 MLCC Product Manual 4-10. Assembly Handling 4-10-1. Cautions for PCB handling Hold the edges of the board mounted with MLCC with both hands since holding with one hand may bend the board. Do not use dropped boards, which may degrade the quality of MLCC. 4-10-2. Mounting other components Pay attention to the following conditions when mounting other components on the back side of The board after MLCC has been mounted on the front side. When the suction nozzle is placed too close to the board, board deflection stress may be applied to MLCC on the back side, resulting in cracks in MLCC. Check if proper value is set on each chip mounter for a suction location, a mounting gap and a suction gap by the thickness of components. 4-10-3. Board mounting components with leads If the board is bent when inserting components (transformer, IC, etc.) into it, MLCC or solder joint may be cracked. Pay attention to the following: * Reduce the stress on the board during insertion by increasing the size of the lead insertion hole. * Insert components with leads into the board after fixing the board with support pins or a dedicated jig. * Support the bottom side of the board to avoid bending the board. * Check the status of the height of each support pin regularly when the support pins are used. Not recommended Recommended 27 MLCC Product Manual 4-10-4. Socket and / or connector attach / detach Since the insertion or removal from sockets and connectors may cause the board to bent, make sure that MLCC mounted on the board should not be damaged in this process. 4-10-5. Fastening screw When attaching a shield on a board, the board may be bent during a screw tightening work Pay attention to the following conditions before performing the work. * Plan the work to prevent the board from bending * Use a torque driver to prevent over-tightening of the screw. * Since the board may be bent by soldering, use caution in tightening the screw. 4-11. Adhesive selection Pay attention to the following if an adhesive is used to position MLCC on the board before soldering. 4-11-1. Requirements for Adhesives * They must have enough adhesive strength to prevent MLCC from slipping or moving during the handling the board. * They must maintain their adhesive strength when exposed to soldering temperatures. * They should not spread when applied to the PCB. * They should have a long pot life. * They should hardened quickly. * They should not corrode the board or MLCC materials. * They should be an insulator type that does not affect the characteristic of MLCC. * They should be non-toxic, not harmful, and particularly safe when workers touch the adhesives. 4-11-2. Caution before Applying Adhesive Check the correct application conditions before attaching MLCC to the board with an adhesive. If the dimension of land, the type of adhesives, the amount of coating, the contact surface areas, the curing temperature, or other conditions are not appropriate, it may degrade the MLCC performance. 28 MLCC Product Manual 4-11-3. Cautions for selecting Adhesive Depending on the type of the chosen adhesive, MLCC insulation resistance may be degraded. In addition, MLCC may be cracked by the difference in contractile stress caused by the different contraction rate between MLCC and the adhesive. 4-11-4. Cautions for the amount of applied adhesive and curing temperature * The inappropriate amount of the adhesive cause the weak adhesive strength, resulting in the a mounting defect in MLCC * Excessive use of the adhesive may cause a soldering defect, loss of electrical connection, incorrect curing, or slippage of a mounting position, thereby an inflow of the adhesive onto a land section should be avoided. * If the curing temperature is too high or the curing time is too long, the adhesive strength will be degraded. In addition, oxidation both on the outer termination (Sn) of MLCC and the surface of the board may deteriorate the solderability. 4-12. Flux 4-12-1. The excessive amount of flux generates excessive flux gases which may deteriorate solderability. Therefore, apply the flux thin and evenly as a whole. 4-12-2. Flux with a high ratio of halogen may oxidize the outer termination of MLCC, if cleaning is not done properly. Therefore, use flux with a halogen content of 0.1% max. 4-12-3. Strong acidic flux can degrade the MLCC performance 4-12-4. Check the solder quality of MLCC and the amount of remaining flux surrounding MLCC after the mounting process. 4-13. Coating 4-13-1. Crack caused by Coating A crack may be caused in the MLCC due to amount of the resin and stress of thermal contraction of the resin during coating process. During the coating process, the amount of resin and the stress of thermal contraction of the resin may cause cracks in MLCC The difference of thermal expansion coefficient between the coating, or a molding resin may cause destruction, deterioration of insulation resistance or dielectric breakdown of MLCC such as cracks or detachment, etc. 29 MLCC Product Manual 4-13-2. Recommended Coating material * A thermal expansion coefficient should be as close to that of MLCC as possible. * A silicone resin can be used as an under-coating to buffer the stress. * The resin should have a minimum curing contraction rate. * The resin should have a minimum sensitivity (ex. Epoxy resin). * The insulation resistance of MLCC can be deteriorated if a high hygroscopic property resin is used in a high humidity condition. * Do not use strong acid substances due to the fact that coating materials inducing a family of halogen substances and organic acid may corrode MLCC. 30 MLCC Product Manual 5. Design 5-1. Circuit design When the board is dropped or bent, MLCC mounted on the board may be short-circuited by the drop in insulation resistance. Therefore, it is required to install safety equipment such as a fuse to prevent additional accidents when MLCC is short-circuited, otherwise, electric short and fire may occur. This product is not a safety guaranteed product.. 5-2. PCB Design 5-2-1. Unlike lead type components, SMD type components that are designed to be mounted directly on the board are fragile to the stress. In addition, they are more sensitive to mechanical and thermal stress than lead type components. 5-2-2. MLCC crack by PCB material type A great difference of the thermal expansion coefficient between PCB and MLCC causes thermal expansion and contraction, resulting in cracks in MLCC. Even though MLCC is mounted on a board with a fluorine resin or on a single-layered glass epoxy, cracks in MLCC may occur. 5-3. Design system evaluation 5-3-1. Evaluate the actual design with MLCC to make sure there is no functional issue or violation of specifications of the finished goods. 5-3-2. Please note that the capacitance may differ based on the operating condition of the actual system since Class 2 MLCC capacitance varies with applied voltage and temperature. 5-3-3. Surge resistance must be evaluated since the excessive surge caused by the inductance of the actual system may apply to MLCC. 5-3-4. Note the actual MLCC size and the termination shape. 31 MLCC Pro oduct Manual 5-4 Land d dimension The reccommended d land dimen nsion is deteermined by evaluating e th he actual SETT and a board.
