SOLDERING
1. When soldering with a soldering iron:
• Soldering conditions (temperature and time) should be within the limits prescribed in the catalogs or the product specifications.
• If the terminal spacing of a capacitor does not fit the terminal hole spacing of the PC board, reform the terminals in a manner to minimize a mechanical
stress into the body of the capacitor.
• Remove the capacitors from the PC board, after the solder is completely melted, reworking by using a soldering iron minimizes the mechanical stress to
the capacitors.
• Do not touch the capacitor body with the hot tip of the soldering iron.
2. Flow Soldering:
• Do not dip the body of a capacitor into the solder bath, only dip the terminals in. The soldering must be done on the reverse side of PC board.
• Do not apply flux to any part of capacitors other than their terminals.
• Make sure the capacitors do not come into contact with any other components while soldering.
• Soldering conditions (preheat, solder temperature and dipping time) should be within the limits prescribed in the picture below.

STORAGE
• Store with the temperature range between 5 to 35°C (If between 35 to 85°C, it should be less than three months), and the relative humidity of 75% without
direct sunshine and store in the package states if possible.
• It is recommended that you open the bag just before use and use up as early as possible.
• Store the capacitors in places free from water, oil or salt water or in condensation status.
• Never store in any area filled with poisonous gases (including hydrogen sulfide, sulfurous acid, nitrous acid, chlorine and ammonia).
• Store the capacitors in places free from ozone, ultraviolet rays or radiation:
