STAGE PRECAUTION TECHNICAL CONSIDERATION
1. Soldering
2. Cleaning
▶Soldering
1. Temperature, time, amount of solder, etc. are
specified in accordance with the following
recommended conditions.
▶Cleaning conditions
1. When cleaning the PC board after the
diplexer are all mounted, select the
appropriate cleaning solution according to
thetypeoffluxusedandpurposeofthe
cleaning(e.g. to remove soldering flux or
other materials from the production
process.)
2. Cleaning conditions should be determined
after verifying, through a test run, that
the cleaning process does not affect the
diplexer's characteristics.
1-1. Preheating when soldering
Heating : Diplexer should be preheated within 100
to 130℃of the soldering.
Cooling : The temperature difference between the
components and cleaning process should not be
greater than 100℃. Diplexer is susceptible to
thermal shock when exposed to rapid or concentrated
heating or rapid cooling. Therefore, the soldering
process must be conducted with a great care so as
to prevent malfunction of the components due to
excessive thermal shock..

※1. The ideal condition is to have solder mass (fillet)
controlled to 1/2 to 1/3 of the thickness of the
diplexer, as shown below:
2. Because excessive dwell times can detrimentally
affect solderability, soldering duration should be
kept as close to recommended times as possible.
1. The use of inappropriate solutions can cause foreign
substances such as flux residue to adhere to the
splitter, resulting in a degradation of the splitter's
electrical properties (especially insulation resistance).
2. Inappropriate cleaning conditions (insufficient or
excessive cleaning) may detrimentally affect the
performance of the splitters.
(1)Excessive cleaning
In the case of ultrasonic cleaning, too much power
output can cause excessive vibration of the PC board
which may lead to the cracking of the diplexer or the
soldered portion, or decrease the terminal electrodes'
strength. Thus the following conditions should be
carefully checked;
Ultrasonic output Below 20 w/l
Ultrasonic frequency Below 40 kHz
Ultrasonic washing period 5 min. or less
