Soldering Process
The implementation of the RoHS directive has resulted in the selection of SnAgCu (SAC) alloys or SnCu alloys as primary solder.
This has increased the liquidus temperature from that of 183ºC for SnPb eutectic alloy to 217 – 221ºC for the new alloys. As a
result, the heat stress to the components, even in wave soldering, has increased considerably due to higher pre-heat and wave
temperatures. Polypropylene capacitors are especially sensitive to heat (the melting point of polypropylene is 160 – 170ºC). Wave
soldering can be destructive, especially for mechanically small polypropylene capacitors (with lead spacing of 5 mm to 15 mm),
andgreatcarehastobetakenduringsoldering.TherecommendedsolderprolesfromKEMETshouldbeused.Pleaseconsult
KEMET with any questions. In general, the wave soldering curve from IEC Publication 61760-1 Edition 2 serves as a solid guideline
for successful soldering. Please see Figure 1.
Reowsolderingisnotrecommendedforthrough-holelmcapacitors.Exposingcapacitorstoasolderingproleinexcessofthe
above the recommended limits may result to degradation or permanent damage to the capacitors.
Do not place the polypropylene capacitor through an adhesive curing oven to cure resin for surface mount components. Insert
through-holepartsafterthecuringofsurfacemountparts.ConsultKEMETtodiscusstheactualtemperatureproleintheoven,
if through-hole components must pass through the adhesive curing process. A maximum two soldering cycles is recommended.
Please allow time for the capacitor surface temperature to return to a normal temperature before the second soldering cycle.

componentstobesolderedispreheatedandtransportedoverthesolderbathasinnormalowsolderingwithouttouching
the solder. When the board is over the bath, it is stopped and pre-designed solder pots are lifted from the bath with molten
solder only at the places of the selected components, and pressed against the lower surface of the board to solder the
components.
Thetemperatureproleforselectivesolderingissimilartothedoublewaveowsolderingoutlinedinthisdocument,
however, instead of two baths, there is only one bath with a time from 3 to 10 seconds. In selective soldering, the risk of
