Thin-Film RF/Microwave Inductor Technology
Accu-L® Series
AEC-Q200 High-Q RF Inductor - L0402 & L0805
FINAL QUALITY INSPECTION
Finished parts are tested for electrical parameters and visual/
mechanical characteristics.
PREHEAT & SOLDERING
The rate of preheat in production should not exceed 4°C/second. It is
recommended not to exceed 2°C/second.
Parts are 100% tested for inductance at 450MHz. Parts are 100% tested for
RDC. Each production lot is evaluated on a sample basis for:
Temperature differential from preheat to soldering should not
exceed 150°C.

HAND SOLDERING & REWORK
ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS
Hand soldering is permissible. Preheat of the PCB to 100°C is required.
The most preferable technique is to use hot air soldering tools. Where a
soldering iron is used, a temperature controlled model not exceeding 30
watts should be used and set to not more than 260°C. Max i mum allowed
time at temperature is 1 minute. When hand soldering, the base side
(white side) must be soldered to the board.

Requirement
Components completely immersed in Terminations to be well tinned.
a solder bath at 235 ± 5°C for 2 secs.
Solderability
No visible damage.

COOLING
Good solderability
Storage
Shear
stored in “as received” packaging.
After soldering, the assembly should preferably be allowed to cool
naturally. In the event of assisted cooling, similar conditions to those rec
om mended for preheating should be used.

CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS
5 cycles -55°C to +125°C.
Care should be taken to ensure that the devices are thoroughly cleaned
of flux residues, especially the space beneath the device. Such residues
may otherwise be come conductive and effectively offer a lossy bypass
to the device. Various recommended cleaning conditions (which must be
optimized for the flux system being used) are as follows:

HANDLING
SMD chips should be handled with care to avoid dam age or contamination
from perspiration and skin oils. The use of plastic tipped tweezers or
vacuum pick-ups is strongly recommended for individual components. Bulk
handling should ensure that abrasion and mechanical shock are minimized.
For automatic equipment, taped and reeled product is the ideal medium for
direct presentation to the placement machine.
Temperature................. 80°C maximum (if not otherwise limited by
chosen solvent system).
Time.............................. 5 minutes max
STORAGE CONDITIONS
Recommended storage conditions for Accu-L® prior to use are as follows:
CIRCUIT BOARD TYPE
Temperature................. 15°C to 35°C
Humidity ....................... ≤65%
All flexible types of circuit boards may be used (e.g. FR-4, G-10)
and also alumina.
Air Pressure.................. 860mbar to 1060mbar
For other circuit board materials, please consult factory
RECOMMENDED SOLDERING PROFILE
COMPONENT PAD DESIGN
Component pads must be designed to achieve good joints and minimize
component movement during soldering. Pad designs are given below for
both wave and reflow soldering.
The basis of these designs is:
•
Pad width equal to component width. It is permissible to
decrease this to as low as 85% of component width
but it is not advisable to go be low this.
•
•
Pad overlap about 0.3mm.
Pad extension about 0.3mm for reflow.
Pad ex ten sion about 0.8mm for wave soldering.
REFLOW SOLDERING DIMENSIONS: millimeter (inches)
