Place a single drop of conductive epoxy onto each micro strip as illustrated the edge of the epoxy shall be at least .003- .004 back from the edge of the trace to prevent filling the gap with epoxy. 2. Centering the termination gap of the capacitor within the gap in the micro strip, press with careful, even pressure onto the micro strip ensuring the terminations make good contact with the epoxy drops. 3. Cure according to the epoxy manufacturers preferred schedule, typically 125C to 150C max. 4. After curing, inspect joint for epoxy shorts across the termination and micro strip gaps that would cause a short across the cap. Isopropanol and Methanol are both safe to use to pre clean Opti-Caps . Isopropanol, and Methanol are not to be used after mounting with conductive epoxy as they act as a solvent Recommended attachment to soft or hard substrate using Solder 1. Place a single drop of solder paste onto each micro strip as illustrated the edge of the solder shall be at least .001- .002 back from the edge of the trace to prevent filling the gap with solder. 4. After the reflow step is completed, inspect joint for voids or 2. Centering the termination gap of the capacitor within the gap excess flux and non-reflowed solder balls that can degrade performance or cause shorts across the gaps. in the micro strip, press with careful, even pressure onto the micro strip ensuring the terminations make good contact with Proper cleaning after the reflow process is crucial to avoiding performance degradation and discovering poor solder the drops of solder paste. joints. 3. Reflow according to the solder manufacturers preferred profile, ensuring the reflow temperature does not exceed Isopropanol and Methanol are both safe to use with soldered Opti-Caps . 250C. 10104/17/v4 Copyright: Knowles Corporation 2017 - Design: www.panpublicity.co.uk
