When soldering supercapacitors to a PCB, the temperature & time
that the body of the supercapacitor sees during soldering can have a
negative effect on performance. We advise following these guidelines:
• Do not immerse the supercapacitors in solder. Only the leads
should come in contact with the solder.
• Ensure that the body of the supercapacitor is never in contact with
the molten solder, the PCB or other components during soldering.
• Excessive temperatures or excessive temperature cycling during
soldering may cause the safety vent to burst or the case to shrink or
crack, potentially damaging the PCB or other components, and
significantly reduce the life of the capacitor.
HAND SOLDERING
Keep distance between the supercapacitor body and the tip of the
soldering iron and the tip should never touch the body of the capacitor.
Contact between supercapacitor body and soldering iron will cause
extensive damage to the supercapacitor, and change its electrical
properties. It is recommended that the soldering iron temperature
should be less than 350°C, and contact time should be limited to less
than 4 seconds. Too much exposure to terminal heat during soldering
can cause heat to transfer to the body of the supercapacitor,
potentially damaging the electrical properties of the supercapacitor.
WAVE SOLDERING
Only use wave soldering on Radial type supercapacitors. The PCB
should be preheated only from the bottom and for less than 60
seconds, with temperature at, or below, 100°C on the top side of
the board for PCBs equal to or greater than 0.8 mm thick.
REFLOW SOLDERING
Infrared or conveyor over reflow techniques can be used on these
supercapacitors. Do not use a traditional reflow oven without clear
rated reflow temperature for supercapacitors.
