SOLDERING RECOMMENDATIONS

When soldering SuperCapacitors to a PCB, the temperature & time that the

body of the SuperCapacitor sees during soldering can have a negative effect

on performance. We advise following these guidelines:

• Do not immerse the SuperCapacitors in solder. Only the leads should

come in contact with the solder.

• Ensure that the body of the SuperCapacitor is never in contact with the

molten solder, the PCB or other components during soldering.

• Excessive temperatures or excessive temperature cycling during

soldering may cause the safety vent to burst or the case to shrink

or crack, potentially damaging the PCB or other components, and

significantly reduce the life of the capacitor.

PRECAUTION: For all products with shrink wrap sleeves, washing in any type of cleaning

agent is prohibited. During all soldering processes, it’s recommended to protect the

shrink wrap from any kind of liquid (including but not limited to: water, strong acid,

strong alkali, strong oxidizing solutions, and strong solvents) to avoid the risk of

damage, cracking, and fading of the outer shrink wrap.

HAND SOLDERING

Keep distance between the SuperCapacitor body and the tip of the soldering

iron and the tip should never touch the body of the capacitor. Contact between

SuperCapacitor body and soldering iron will cause extensive damage to the

SuperCapacitor, and change its electrical properties. It is recommended that

the soldering iron temperature should be less than 350°C, and contact time

should be limited to less than 4 seconds. Too much exposure to terminal

heat during soldering can cause heat to can cause heat to transfer to the

body of the SuperCapacitor, potentially damaging the electrical properties of

the SuperCapacitor.

WAVE SOLDERING

Only use wave soldering on Radial type SuperCapacitors. The PCB should

be preheated only from the bottom and for less than 60 seconds, with

temperature at, or below, 100°C on the top side of the board for PCBs equal

to or greater than 0.8 mm thick.
