Even if the storage period is short, do not exceed the specified atmospheric conditions.
1-2. Corrosive gas can react with the termination (external) electrodes or lead wires of capacitors, and result
in poor solderability. Do not store the capacitors in an atmosphere consisting of corrosive gas (e.g.,hydrogen
sulfide, sulfur dioxide, chlorine, ammonia gas etc.).
1-3. Due to moisture condensation caused by rapid humidity changes, or the photochemical change caused
by direct sunlight on the terminal electrodes and/or the resin/epoxy coatings, the solderability and
electrical performance may deteriorate. Do not store capacitors under direct sunlight or in high huimidity
conditions
■Rating
1.Temperature Dependent Characteristics
1. The electrical characteristics of the capacitor can change with temperature.
1-1. For capacitors having larger temperature dependency, the capacitance may change with temperature
changes. The following actions are recommended in order to ensure suitable capacitance values.
(1) Select a suitable capacitance for the operating temperature range.
(2) The capacitance may change within the rated temperature.
When you use a high dielectric constant type capacitor in a circuit that needs a tight (narrow) capacitance
tolerance (e.g., a time-constant circuit), please carefully consider the temperature characteristics, and
carefully confirm the various characteristics in actual use conditions and the actual system.

2.Measurement of Capacitance
1. Measure capacitance with the voltage and frequency specified in the product specifications.
1-1. The output voltage of the measuring equipment may decrease occasionally when capacitance is high.
Please confirm whether a prescribed measured voltage is impressed to the capacitor.
1-2. The capacitance values of high dielectric constant type capacitors change depending on the AC voltage applied.
Please consider the AC voltage characteristics when selecting a capacitor to be used in a AC circuit.
3.Applied Voltage
1. Do not apply a voltage to the capacitor that exceeds the rated voltage as called out in the specifications.
1-1. Applied voltage between the terminals of a capacitor shall be less than or equal to the rated voltage.
(1) When AC voltage is superimposed on DC voltage, the zero-to-peak voltage shall not exceed the rated DC voltage.
When AC voltage or pulse voltage is applied, the peak-to-peak voltage shall not exceed the rated DC voltage.
(2) Abnormal voltages (surge voltage, static electricity, pulse voltage, etc.) shall not exceed the rated DC voltage.
Typical Voltage Applied to the DC capacitor
DC Voltage DC Voltage+AC AC Voltage Pulse Voltage
(E：Maximum possible applied voltage.)
1-2. Influence of over voltage
Over voltage that is applied to the capacitor may result in an electrical short circuit caused by the breakdown
of the internal dielectric layers .
The time duration until breakdown depends on the applied voltage and the ambient temperature.
4.Type of Applied Voltage and Self-heating Temperature
1.Confirm the operating conditions to make sure that no large current is flowing into the capacitor due to the
continuous application of an AC voltage or pulse voltage.
When a DC rated voltage product is used in an AC voltage circuit or a pulse voltage circuit, the AC current
or pulse current will flow into the capacitor; therefore check the self-heating condition.
Please confirm the surface temperature of the capacitor so that the temperature remains within the upper limits
of the operating temperature, including the rise in temperature due to self-heating. When the capacitor is
used with a high-frequency voltage or pulse voltage, heat may be generated by dielectric loss.
<Applicable to Rated Voltage of less than 100VDC>
1-1. The load should be contained to the level
such that when measuring at atmospheric
temperature of 25°C, the product's self-heating
remains below 20°C and the surface
temperature of the capacitor in the actual circuit
remains within the maximum operating
temperature.

5. DC Voltage and AC Voltage Characteristic
1. The capacitance value of a high dielectric constant type
capacitor changes depending on the DC voltage applied.
Please consider the DC voltage characteristics when a
capacitor is selected for use in a DC circuit.
1-1. The capacitance of ceramic capacitors may change
sharply depending on the applied voltage. (See figure)
Please confirm the following in order to secure the
capacitance.
(1) Determine whether the capacitance change caused
by the applied voltage is within the allowed range .
(2) In the DC voltage characteristics, the rate of
capacitance change becomes larger as voltage
increases, even if the applied voltage is below
the rated voltage. When a high dielectric constant
type capacitor is used in a circuit that requires a
tight (narrow) capacitance tolerance (e.g., a time
constant circuit), please carefully consider the
voltage characteristics, and confirm the various
characteristics in the actual operating conditions
of the system.
2. The capacitance values of high dielectric
constant type capacitors changes depending
on the AC voltage applied.
Please consider the AC voltage characteristics
when selecting a capacitor to be used in a
AC circuit.
6. Capacitance Aging
[Example of Change Over Time (Aging characteristics) ]
1. The high dielectric constant type capacitors
have an Aging characteristic in which the capacitance
value decreases with the passage of time.
When you use a high dielectric constant type
capacitors in a circuit that needs a tight (narrow)
capacitance tolerance (e.g., a time-constant circuit),
please carefully consider the characteristics
of these capacitors, such as their aging, voltage,
and temperature characteristics. In addition,
check capacitors using your actual appliances
at the intended environment and operating conditions.
7.Vibration and Shock
1. Please confirm the kind of vibration and/or shock, its condition, and any generation of resonance.
Please mount the capacitor so as not to generate resonance, and do not allow any impact on the terminals.
2. Mechanical shock due to being dropped may cause damage or
a crack in the dielectric material of the capacitor.
Do not use a dropped capacitor because the quality and reliability
may be deteriorated.
3. When printed circuit boards are piled up or handled, the corner
of another printed circuit board
should not be allowed to hit the capacitor in order to avoid
a crack or other damage to the capacitor.

■Soldering and Mounting
1.Mounting Position
1. Confirm the best mounting position and direction that minimizes the stress imposed on the capacitor during flexing
or bending the printed circuit board.
1-1.Choose a mounting position that minimizes the stress imposed on the chip during flexing or bending of the board.
[Component Direction]
Locate chip horizontal to the
direction in which stress acts.
(Bad Example) (Good Example)
[Chip Mounting Close to Board Separation Point]
It is effective to implement the following measures, to reduce stress in separating the board.
It is best to implement all of the following three measures; however, implement as many measures as possible
to reduce stress.
Stress Level
(1) Turn the mounting direction of the component parallel to the board separation surface.
A > D *1
(2) Add slits in the board separation part.
A > B
(3) Keep the mounting position of the component away from the board separation surface.
A > C
*1 A > D is valid when stress is added vertically to the perforation as with Hand Separation.
If a Cutting Disc is used, stress will be diagonal to the PCB, therefore A > D is invalid.
[Mounting Capacitors Near Screw Holes]
When a capacitor is mounted near a screw hole, it may be affected by the board deflection that occurs during
the tightening of the screw. Mount the capacitor in a position as far away from the screw holes as possible.
2.Information before Mounting
1. Do not re-use capacitors that were removed from the equipment.
2. Confirm capacitance characteristics under actual applied voltage.
3. Confirm the mechanical stress under actual process and equipment use.
4. Confirm the rated capacitance, rated voltage and other electrical characteristics before assembly.
5. Prior to use, confirm the solderability of capacitors that were in long-term storage.
6. Prior to measuring capacitance, carry out a heat treatment for capacitors that were in long-term storage.
7.The use of Sn-Zn based solder will deteriorate the reliability of the MLCC.
Please contact our sales representative or product engineers on the use of Sn-Zn based solder in advance.

3.Maintenance of the Mounting (pick and place) Machine
1. Make sure that the following excessive forces are not applied to the capacitors.
1-1. In mounting the capacitors on the printed circuit board, any bending force against them shall be kept
to a minimum to prevent them from any damage or cracking. Please take into account the following precautions
and recommendations for use in your process.
(1) Adjust the lowest position of the pickup nozzle so as not to bend the printed circuit board.
(2) Adjust the nozzle pressure within a static load of 1N to 3N during mounting.
[Incorrect]
[Correct]
2.Dirt particles and dust accumulated between the suction nozzle and the cylinder inner wall prevent
the nozzle from moving smoothly. This imposes greater force upon the chip during mounting,
causing cracked chips. Also, the locating claw, when worn out, imposes uneven forces on the chip
when positioning, causing cracked chips. The suction nozzle and the locating claw must be maintained,
checked and replaced periodically.

4-1.Reflow Soldering
1. When sudden heat is applied to the components, the [Standard Conditions for Reflow Soldering]
mechanical strength of the components will decrease
because a sudden temperature change causes
deformation inside the components. In order to prevent
mechanical damage to the components, preheating is
required for both the components and the PCB.
Preheating conditions are shown in table 1. It is required to
keep the temperature differential between the solder and

2. Solderability of tin plating termination chips might be
deteriorated when a low temperature soldering profile where
the peak solder temperature is below the melting point of
tin is used. Please confirm the solderability of tin plated

4. Optimum Solder Amount for Reflow Soldering
4-1. Overly thick application of solder paste results in a excessive solder fillet height.
This makes the chip more susceptible to mechanical and thermal stress on the board and may cause the chips to crack.
4-2. Too little solder paste results in a lack of adhesive strength on the termination, which may result in chips breaking loose
from the PCB.
4-3. Please confirm that solder has been applied smoothly to the termination.
Make sure not to impose any abnormal mechanical shocks to the PCB.

5.Washing
Excessive ultrasonic oscillation during cleaning can cause the PCBs to resonate, resulting in cracked chips
or broken solder joints. Take note not to vibrate PCBs.
6.Electrical Test on Printed Circuit Board
1. Confirm position of the support pin or specific jig, when inspecting the electrical performance of a
capacitor after mounting on the printed circuit board.
1-1. Avoid bending the printed circuit board by the pressure of a test-probe, etc.
The thrusting force of the test probe can flex the PCB, resulting in cracked chips or open solder
joints. Provide support pins on the back side of the PCB to prevent warping or flexing.
Install support pins as close to the test-probe as possible.
1-2. Avoid vibration of the board by shock when a test -probe contacts a printed circuit board.
[Not Recommended] [Recommended]
7.Printed Circuit Board Cropping
1. After mounting a capacitor on a printed circuit board, do not apply any stress to the capacitor that
caused bending or twisting the board.
1-1. In cropping the board, the stress as shown may cause the capacitor to crack.
Cracked capacitors may cause deterioration of the insulation resistance, and result in a short.
Avoid this type of stress to a capacitor.
[Bending] [Twisting]
2. Check the cropping method for the printed circuit board in advance.
2-1. Printed circuit board cropping shall be carried out by using a jig or an apparatus (Disc separator, router
type separator, etc.) to prevent the mechanical stress that can occur to the board.
* When a board separation jig or disc separator is used, if the following precautions are not observed,
a large board deflection stress will occur and the capacitors may crack.
Use router type separator if at all possible.

(1) Example of a suitable jig
[In the case of Single-side Mounting]
An outline of the board separation jig is shown as follows.
Recommended example: Stress on the component mounting position can be minimized by holding the
portion close to the jig, and bend in the direction towards the side where the capacitors are mounted.
Not recommended example: The risk of cracks occurring in the capacitors increases due to large stress
being applied to the component mounting position, if the portion away from the jig is held and bent in the
direction opposite the side where the capacitors are mounted.
[Outline of jig] [Hand Separation]
[In the case of Double-sided Mounting]
Since components are mounted on both sides of the board, the risk of cracks occurring can not be avoided with the
above method. Therefore, implement the following measures to prevent stress from being applied to the components.
(Measures)
(1) Consider introducing a router type separator.
If it is difficult to introduce a router type separator, implement the following measures.
(Refer to item 1. Mounting Position)
(2) Mount the components parallel to the board separation surface.
(3) When mounting components near the board separation point, add slits in the separation position
near the component.
(4) Keep the mounting position of the components away from the board separation point.
(2) Example of a Disc Separator
An outline of a disc separator is shown as follows. As shown in the Principle of Operation, the top
blade and bottom blade are aligned with the V-grooves on the printed circuit board to separate the board.
In the following case, board deflection stress will be applied and cause cracks in the capacitors.
(1) When the adjustment of the top and bottom blades are misaligned, such as deviating in the top-bottom,
left-right or front-rear directions
(2) The angle of the V groove is too low, depth of the V groove is too shallow, or the V groove is misaligned
top-bottom
IF V groove is too deep, it is possible to brake when you handle and carry it. Carefully design depth of the
V groove with consideration about strength of material of the printed circuit board.

(3) Example of Router Type Separator
The router type separator performs cutting by a router
rotating at a high speed. Since the board does not
bend in the cutting process, stress on the board can
be suppressed during board separation.
When attaching or removing boards to/from the router type
separator, carefully handle the boards to prevent bending.
8. Assembly
1. Handling
If a board mounted with capacitors is held with one hand, the board may bend.
Firmly hold the edges of the board with both hands when handling.
If a board mounted with capacitors is dropped, cracks may occur in the capacitors.
Do not use dropped boards, as there is a possibility that the quality of the capacitors may be impaired.
2. Attachment of Other Components
2-1. Mounting of Other Components
Pay attention to the following items, when mounting other components on the back side of the board after
capacitors have been mounted on the opposite side.
When the bottom dead point of the suction nozzle is set too low, board deflection stress may be applied
to the capacitors on the back side (bottom side), and cracks may occur in the capacitors.
· After the board is straightened, set the bottom dead point of the nozzle on the upper surface of the board.
· Periodically check and adjust the bottom dead point.
2-2. Inserting Components with Leads into Boards
When inserting components (transformers, IC, etc.) into boards, bending the board may cause cracks in the
capacitors or cracks in the solder. Pay attention to the following.
· Increase the size of the holes to insert the leads, to reduce the stress on the board during insertion.
· Fix the board with support pins or a dedicated jig before insertion.
· Support below the board so that the board does not bend. When using multiple support pins on the board,
periodically confirm that there is no difference in the height of each support pin.
2-3. Attaching/Removing Sockets
When the board itself is a connector, the board may bend when a socket is attached or removed.
Plan the work so that the board does not bend when a socket is attached or removed.
2-4. Tightening Screws
The board may be bent, when tightening screws, etc. during the attachment of the board to a shield or
chassis. Pay attention to the following items before performing the work.
· Plan the work to prevent the board from bending.
· Use a torque screwdriver, to prevent over-tightening of the screws.
· The board may bend after mounting by reflow soldering, etc. Please note, as stress may be applied
to the chips by forcibly flattening the board when tightening the screws.

■Rating
1.Operating Temperature
1. The operating temperature limit depends on the capacitor.
1-1. Do not apply temperatures exceeding the maximum operating temperature.
It is necessary to select a capacitor with a suitable rated temperature that will cover the operating temperature range.
It is also necessary to consider the temperature distribution in equipment and the seasonal temperature variable
factor.
1-2. Consider the self-heating factor of the capacitor
The surface temperature of the capacitor shall not exceed the maximum operating temperature including self-heating.
2.Atmosphere Surroundings (gaseous and liquid)
1. Restriction on the operating environment of capacitors.
1-1. Capacitors, when used in the above, unsuitable, operating environments may deteriorate due to the corrosion
of the terminations and the penetration of moisture into the capacitor.
1-2. The same phenomenon as the above may occur when the electrodes or terminals of the capacitor are subject
to moisture condensation.
1-3. The deterioration of characteristics and insulation resistance due to the oxidization or corrosion of terminal
electrodes may result in breakdown when the capacitor is exposed to corrosive or volatile gases or solvents
for long periods of time.
3.Piezo-electric Phenomenon
1. When using high dielectric constant type capacitors in AC or pulse circuits, the capacitor itself vibrates
at specific frequencies and noise may be generated.
Moreover, when the mechanical vibration or shock is added to capacitor, noise may occur.

■Soldering and Mounting
1.PCB Design
1. Notice for Pattern Forms
1-1. Unlike leaded components, chip components are susceptible to flexing stresses since they are mounted
directly on the substrate.
They are also more sensitive to mechanical and thermal stresses than leaded components.
Excess solder fillet height can multiply these stresses and cause chip cracking.
When designing substrates, take land patterns and dimensions into consideration to eliminate the possibility
of excess solder fillet height.
1-2. There is a possibility of chip cracking caused by PCB expansion/contraction with heat, because stress  
on a chip is different depending on PCB material and structure.When the thermal expansion coefficient
greatly differs between the board used for mounting and the chip,it will cause cracking of the chip due to
the thermal expansion and contraction. When capacitors are mounted on a fluorine resin printed circuit
board or on a single-layered glass epoxy board, it may also cause cracking of the chip for the same reason.

2.Reflow soldering
The halogen system substance and organic acid are included in solder paste, and a chip corrodes
by this kind of solder paste.
Do not use strong acid flux.
Do not use water-soluble flux.*
(*Water-soluble flux can be defined as non-rosin type flux including wash-type flux and non-wash-type flux.)
3.Washing
1. Please evaluate the capacitor using actual cleaning equipment and conditions to confirm the quality,
and select the solvent for cleaning.
2. Unsuitable cleaning solvent may leave residual flux or other foreign substances, causing deterioration of
electrical characteristics and the reliability of the capacitors.
3. Select the proper cleaning conditions.
3-1. Improper cleaning conditions (excessive or insufficient) may result in the deterioration of the performance
of the capacitors.
4.Coating
1. A crack may be caused in the capacitor due to the stress of the thermal contraction of the resin during curing process.
The stress is affected by the amount of resin and curing contraction. Select a resin with low curing contraction.
The difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between a coating resin or a molding resin and the capacitor
may cause the destruction and deterioration of the capacitor such as a crack or peeling, and lead to the deterioration
of insulation resistance or dielectric breakdown.
Select a resin for which the thermal expansion coefficient is as close to that of the capacitor as possible.
A silicone resin can be used as an under-coating to buffer against the stress.
2. Select a resin that is less hygroscopic.
Using hygroscopic resins under high humidity conditions may cause the deterioration of the insulation resistance
of a capacitor. An epoxy resin can be used as a less hygroscopic resin.
3．The halogen system substance and organic acid are included in coating material, and a chip corrodes
by the kind of Coating material. Do not use strong acid type.
