Handling Precautions
1. Circuit Design
1.1
Operating Temperature and Storage Temperature
When operating a components-mounted circuit,
please be sure to observe the “Operating Temperature
Range”, written in delivery specifications. Please
remember not to use the product under the condition
that exceeds the specified maximum temperature.
Storage temperature of PCB after mounting
Thermistors, which is not operated, should be within
the specified “Storage Temperature Range” in the
delivery specifications.
1.2 Operating Power
The electricity applied to between terminals of
Thermistors should be under the specified maximum
power dissipation.
There are possibilities of breakage and burn-out due
to excessive self-heating of Thermistors, if the power
exceeds maximum power dissipation when operating.
Please consider installing protection circuit for your
circuit to improve the safety, in case of abnormal
voltage application and so on.
Thermistors’ performance of temperature detection
would be deteriorated if self-heating occurs,
even when you use it under the maximum power
dissipation.
Please consider the maximum power dissipation and
dissipation factor.
Safety Precautions
The Multilayer NTC Thermistors (Automotive Grade), hereafter referred to as Thermistors, is designed for use in
automotive devices. When subjected to severe electrical, environmental, and/or mechanical stress beyond the
specifications, as noted in the Ratings and Specified Conditions section, the Thermistors’ performance may be
degraded, or become failure mode, such as short circuit mode and open-circuit mode. If you use under the
condition of short-circuit, heat generation of thermistors will occur by running large current due to application of
voltage. There are possibilities of smoke emission, substrate burn-out, and, in the worst case, fire.
For products which require higher safety levels, please carefully consider how a single malfunction can affect your
product. In order to ensure the safety in the case of a single malfunction, please design products with fail-safe,
such as setting up protecting circuits, etc.
● For the following applications and conditions, please contact us for product of special specification not found in
this document.
· When your application may have difficulty complying with the safety or handling precautions specified below.
· High-quality and high-reliability required devices that have possibility of causing hazardous conditions, such as
death or injury (regardless of directly or indirectly), due to failure or malfunction of the product.
1 Aircraft and Aerospace Equipment (artificial satellite, rocket, etc.)
2 Submarine Equipment (submarine repeating equipment, etc.)
3 Transportation Equipment (airplanes, trains, ship, traffic signal controllers, etc.)
4
Power Generation Control Equipment (atomic power, hydroelectric power, thermal power plant control system, etc.)
5 Medical Equipment (life-support equipment, pacemakers, dialysis controllers, etc.)
6 Information Processing Equipment (large scale computer systems, etc.)
7 Electric Heating Appliances, Combustion devices (gas fan heaters, oil fan heaters, etc.)
8 Rotary Motion Equipment
9 Security Systems
J And any similar types of equipment
[Maximum power dissipation]
· The Maximum power that can be continuously
applied under static air at a certain ambient
temperature. The Maximum power dissipation under
an ambient temperature of 25 °C or less is the same
with the rated maximum power dissipation, and
Maximum power dissipation beyond 25 °C depends
on the Decreased power dissipation curve below.
[Dissipation factor]
· The constant amount power required to raise the
temperature of the Thermistor 1 °C through self
heat generation under stable temperatures.
Dissipation factor (mW/°C) = Power consumption
of Thermistor / Temperature rise of element
Decreased power dissipation curve

1.3 Environmental Restrictions
The Thermistors shall not be operated and/or
stored under the following conditions.
(1) Environmental conditions
(a) Under direct exposure to water or salt water
(b) Under conditions where water can condense
and/or dew can form
(c) Under conditions containing corrosive gases
such as hydrogen sulfide, sulfurous acid,
chlorine and ammonia
(2) Mechanical conditions
The place where vibration or impact that
exceeds specified conditions written in delivery
specification is loaded.
1.4 Measurement of Resistance
The resistance of the Thermistors varies depending
on ambient temperatures and self-heating. To
measure the resistance value when examining circuit
configuration and conducting receiving inspection
and so on, the following points should be taken into
consideration:
1 Measurement temp : 25±0.1 °C
Measurement in liquid (silicon oil, etc.) is
recommended for a stable measurement temperature.
2 Power : 0.10 mW max.
4 terminal measurement with a constant-current
power supply is recommended.
2. Design of Printed Circuit Board
2.1 Selection of Printed Circuit Boards
There is a possibility of performance deterioration
by heat shock (temperature cycles), which causes
cracks, from alumina substrate.
Please confirm that the substrate you use does
not deteriorate the Thermistors’ quality.
2.2 Design of Land Pattern
(1) Recommended land dimensions are shown below.
Use the proper amount of solder in order
to prevent cracking. Using too much solder
places excessive stress on the Thermistors.

Recommended Land Dimensions
(2) The land size shall be designed to have equal
space, on both right and left sides. If the
amount of solder on both sides is not equal,
the component may be cracked by stress,
since the side with a larger amount of solder
solidifies later during cooling.
Recommended Amount of Solder
2.3 Utilization of Solder Resist
(1) Solder resist shall be utilized to equalize the
amounts of solder on both sides.
(2) Solder resist shall be used to divide the
pattern for the following cases;
· Components are arranged closely.
· The Thermistor is mounted near a component
with lead wires.
· The Thermistor is placed near a chassis.
Refer to the table below.

2.4 Component Layout
To prevent the crack of Thermistors, try to
place it on the position that could not easily
be affected by the bending stress of substrate
while mounting procedures or procedures
afterwards.
Placement of the Thermistors near heating
elements also requires the great care to be
taken in order to avoid stresses from rapid
heating and cooling.

(1) To minimize mechanical stress caused by the
warp or bending of a PC board, please follow
the recommended Thermistors’ layout below.
(2) The following layout is for your reference since
mechanical stress near the dividing/breaking
position of a PC board varies depending on
the mounting position of the Thermistors.
(3) The magnitude of mechanical stress applied to
the Thermistors when dividing the circuit board
in descending order is as follows:
push back < slit < V-groove < perforation.
Also take into account the layout of the
Thermistors and the dividing/breaking method.
(4) When the Thermistors are placed near heating
elements such as heater, etc., cracks from thermal
stresses may occur under following situation:
· Soldering the Thermistors directly to heating
elements.
· Sharing the land with heating elements.
If planning to conduct above-mentioned mounting
and/or placement, please contact us in advance.
2.5 Mounting Density and Spaces
Intervals between components should not be too
narrow to prevent the influence from solder bridges
and solder balls. The space between components
should be carefully determined.
1. Storage
(1) The Thermistors shall be stored between 5 to
40 °C and 20 to 70 % RH, not under severe
conditions of high temperature and humidity.
(2) If stored in a place where humidity, dust, or
corrosive gasses (hydrogen sulfide, sulfurous
acid, hydrogen chloride and ammonia, etc.) are
contained, the solderability of terminal electrodes
will be deteriorated.
In addition, storage in a places where the heat
or direct sunlight exposure occur will cause
mounting problems due to deformation of tapes
and reels and components and taping/reels
sticking together.
(3) Do not store components longer than 6
months. Check the solderability of products
that have been stored for more than 6 months
before use
2. Chip Mounting Consideration
(1) When mounting the Thermistors/components
on a PC board, the Thermistor bodies shall
be free from excessive impact loads such
as mechanical impact or stress due to the
positioning, pushing force and displacement of
vacuum nozzles during mounting.
(2) Maintenance and inspection of the Chip
Mounter must be performed regularly.
(3) If the bottom dead center of the vacuum
nozzle is too low, the Thermistor will crack from
excessive force during mounting.
The following precautions and recommendations
are for your reference in use.
(a)
Set and adjust the bottom dead center of the
vacuum nozzles to the upper surface of the PC
board after correcting the warp of the PC board.
(b) Set the pushing force of the vacuum nozzle
during mounting to 1 to 3 N in static load.
(c) For double surface mounting, apply a
supporting pin on the rear surface of the PC
board to suppress the bending of the PC
board in order to minimize the impact of the
vacuum nozzles. Typical examples are shown
in the table below.
Item Prohibited mounting
Recommended mounting
Single surface
mouting
The supporting pin does not necessarily
have to be positioned beneath the

Double surface
mounting
(d) Adjust the vacuum nozzles so that their bottom
dead center during mounting is not too low.
(4) The closing dimensions of the positioning
chucks shall be controlled. Maintenance
and replacement of positioning chucks shall
be performed regularly to prevent chipping
or cracking of the Thermistors caused by
mechanical impact during positioning due to
worn positioning chucks.
(5) Maximum stroke of the nozzle shall be
adjusted so that the maximum bending of PC
board does not exceed 0.5 mm at 90 mm
span. The PC board shall be supported by an
adequate number of supporting pins.
3. Selection of Soldering Flux
Soldering flux may seriously affect the performance
of the Thermistors. The following shall be confirmed
before use.
(1)
The soldering flux should have a halogen based
content of 0.1 wt% (converted to chlorine) or below.
Do not use soldering flux with strong acid.
(2) When applying water-soluble soldering flux,
wash the Thermistors sufficiently because
the soldering flux residue on the surface of
PC boards may deteriorate the insulation
resistance on the Thermistors’ surface.

4.1 Reflow Soldering
The reflow soldering temperature conditions are
composed of temperature curves of Preheating,
Temp. rise, Heating, Peak and Gradual cooling.
Large temperature difference inside the Thermistors
caused by rapid heat application to the Thermistors
may lead to excessive thermal stresses, contributing
to the thermal cracks. The Preheating temperature
requires controlling with great care so that tombstone
phenomenon may be prevented.

Recommended pro le of Re ow soldering (EX)
△T : Allowable temperature difference △T < 150 °C
The rapid cooling (forced cooling) during Gradual
cooling part should be avoided, because this may
cause defects such as the thermal cracks, etc.
When the Thermistors are immersed into a cleaning
solvent, make sure that the surface temperatures of
the devices do not exceed 100 °C.
Performing reflow soldering twice under
the conditions shown in the figure above
[Recommended profile of Reflow soldering (EX)] will
not cause any problems. However, pay attention to
the possible warp and bending of the PC board.
4.2 Hand Soldering
Hand soldering typically causes significant temperature
change, which may induce excessive thermal stresses
inside the Thermitors, resulting in the thermal cracks, etc.
In order to prevent any defects, the following should
be observed.
· The temperature of the soldering tips should be
controlled with special care.
· The direct contact of soldering tips with the
Thermistors and/or terminal electrodes should be
avoided.
· Dismounted Thermistors shall not be reused.
(1) Condition 1 (with preheating)
(a) Soldering:
Use thread solder (f1 mm or below) which
contains flux with low chlorine, developed
for precision electronic equipment.
(b) Preheating:
Conduct sufficient pre-heating, and make
sure that the temperature difference
between solder and Thermistors’ surface
is 150 °C or less.
(c) Temperature of Iron tip: 300 °C max.
(The required amount of solder shall be
melted in advance on the soldering tip.)
(d) Gradual cooling:
After soldering, the Thermistors shall be
cooled gradually at room temperature.
Recommended pro le of Hand soldering (EX)
△T : Allowable temperature difference △T < 150 °C
(2) Condition 2 (without preheating)
Hand soldering can be performed without
preheating, by following the conditions below:
(a) Soldering iron tip shall never directly
touch the ceramic and terminal electrodes
of the Thermistors.
(b) The lands are sufficiently preheated with a
soldering iron tip before sliding the soldering
iron tip to the terminal electrodes of the
Thermistors for soldering.
Conditions of Hand soldering without preheating
Item Condition
Temperature of Iron tip 270 °C max.
Wattage 20 W max.
Shape of Iron tip f3 mm max.
Soldering time with
a soldering iron 3 sec max.
5. Post Soldering Cleaning
5.1 Cleaning solvent
Soldering flux residue may remain on the PC
board if cleaned with an inappropriate solvent.
This may deteriorate the electrical characteristics
and reliability of the Thermistors.
5.2 Cleaning conditions
Inappropriate cleaning conditions such as insufficient
cleaning or excessive cleaning may impair the electrical
characteristics and reliability of the Thermistors.
(1) Insufficient cleaning can lead to:
(a) The halogen substance found in the residue
of the soldering flux may cause the metal of
terminal electrodes to corrode.
(b) The halogen substance found in the residue
of the soldering flux on the surface of the
Thermistors may change resistance values.
(c) Water-soluble soldering flux may have more
remarkable tendencies of (a) and (b) above
compared to those of rosin soldering flux.

(2) Excessive cleaning can lead to:
(a) When using ultrasonic cleaner, make sure that the
output is not too large, so that the substrate will
not resonate. The resonation causes the cracks
in Varistors and/or solders, and deteriorates the
strength of the terminal electrodes. Please follow
these conditions for Ultrasonic cleaning:
Ultrasonic wave output : 20 W/L max.
Ultrasonic wave frequency : 40 kHz max.
Ultrasonic wave cleaning time : 5 min. max.
5.3 Contamination of Cleaning solvent
Cleaning with contaminated cleaning solvent may
cause the same results as insufficient cleaning
due to the high density of liberated halogen.
6. Inspection Process
The pressure from measuring terminal pins might
bend the PCB when implementing circuit inspection
after mounting Thermistors on PCB, and as a result,
cracking may occur.
(1) Mounted PC boards shall be supported by an
adequate number of supporting pins on the back
with bend settings of 90 mm span 0.5 mm max.
(2) Confi rm that the measuring pins have the right
tip shape, are equal in height, have the right
pressure, and are set in the correct positions.
The following figures are for your reference to
avoid bending the PC board.
Item Prohibited setting Recommended
setting

7. Protective Coating
When the surface of a PC board on which the
Thermistors have been mounted is coated with resin
to protect against moisture and dust, it shall be
confirmed that the protective coating does not affect the
performance of Varistors.
(1) Choose the material that does not emit the
decomposition and/or reaction gas. The Gas may
affect the composing members of the Varistors.
(2) Shrinkage and expansion of resin coating when
curing may apply stress to the Varistors and may
lead to occurrence of cracks.
8. Dividing/Breaking of PC Boards
(1) Please be careful not to stress the substrate with
bending/twisting when dividing, after mounting
components including Varistors. Abnormal and
excessive mechanical stress such as bending or
torsion shown below can cause cracking in the
Thermistors.
(2) Dividing/Breaking of the PC boards shall be
done carefully at moderate speed by using a jig
or apparatus to protect the Thermistors on the
boards from mechanical damage.
(3) Examples of PCB dividing/breaking jigs:
The outline of PC board breaking jig is shown
below. When PC boards are broken or divided,
loading points should be close to the jig to minimize
the extent of the bending
Also, planes with no parts mounted on should be
used as plane of loading, in order to prevent tensile
stress induced by the bending, which may cause
cracks of the Thermistors or other parts mounted on
the PC boards.
Prohibited dividing Recommended dividing
9. Mechanical Impact
(1) The Thermistors shall be free from any excessive
mechanical impact.
The Thermistor body is made of ceramics and
may be damaged or cracked if dropped.
Never use a Thermistor which has been
dropped; their quality may be impaired and
failure rate increased.
(2) When handling PC boards with Thermistors mounted
on them, do not allow the Thermistors to collide
with another PC board.
When mounted PC boards are handled or stored
in a stacked state, the corner of a PC board might
strike Thermistors, and the impact of the strike may
cause damage or cracking and can deteriorate the
withstand voltage and insulation resistance of the
Thermistor.
The various precautions described above are typical.
For special mounting conditions, please contact us.
