A.【About the J-STD-020 Reflow profile 】
TDK MLCCs are compatible with the reflow condition defined in J-STD-020 by JEDEC (JEDEC Solid State Technology Association) below.
Depending upon the mounting conditions, such as solder type, solder amount and board design, mechanical/thermal stress levels should be considered.
Please verify the mounting conditions and performance by the actual circuit board.

【Profile Feature】

Peak temp Package thickness <2.5mm : 260℃
Package thickness >2.5mm : 250℃

(According to JEDEC J-STD-020, peak temperature 250℃ is applied for product > 2.5mm. In case of TDK MLCC, 260℃ is applicable also for >2.5mm also, except CKG Series.)
Time within peak temp-5℃ 30sec Max.
Package thickness 2.5mm and thinner : 255℃
Package thickness thicker than 2.5mm : 245℃
Liquidus temp of solder 217℃ (Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu)
Time above 217℃ 60~150sec
Heating Gradient - *1
Cooling Gradient Natural cooling *2
Preheating condition CGA5 (C3216) and smaller : ΔT≦150℃
CGA6 (C3225) and larger : ΔT≦130℃
  • *1 : For heating gradient, please apply pre-heating with consideration of the gap of temperature DT between peak and pre-heat to avoid thermal shock.
  • *2 : Natural cooling is recommended. In case of forced-air cooling, please confirm the mounting conditions and performance with consideration for solder type, solder amount, and board design.
