Introduction 1.1 General NXP Semiconductors is not the owner of customer processes and cannot test them under all conditions. Therefore, the information below is a general guideline for product handling and package assembly. It does not replace the process development and release by the customer. 1.2 Package information .0 $ The products KMA22x and KMA32x use the package SOT1188. It is fit for soldering and welding. The leads can be bent according to customer requirements. The products require gentle handling as especially the leads can bend unintentionally due to their small cross section and length. DDD Fig 1. KMA220 device in SOT1188 package 2. Storage 2.1 Store conditions Secure and clean store areas must be provided to isolate and protect the products. Conditions in the store areas shall be such that the quality of the products does not deteriorate due to, among others, harmful gasses or electrical fields. Storage conditions: • Temperature – Min. +8 C – Max. +45 C • Humidity – Min. 25 % – Max. 75 % – No condensation is allowed under any condition • Light intensity – No direct sunlight AN11717 Application note All information provided in this document is subject to legal disclaimers.

Precautions 3.1 Stress to sensor head As all MagnetoResistive (MR) sensors, KMA22x and KMA32x react on severe mechanical stress. It can compromise the accuracy of the device. Prevent bending (warping) of the sensor head as that applies enormous stress to the sensor chip. DDD Fig 2. Straight and warped sensor head Often the sensor is attached to a substrate (e.g. a throttle body cover). The sensor should be decoupled as much as possible from the substrate, e.g. by using a soft silicone glue to fix the sensor. 3.2 Stress to sensor leads Caused by differences in thermal expansion of sensor and environment (socket), high amount of stress can be generated. To reduce that stress, bend the sensor or external leads to prepare a flexible region. Bending recommendations see Section 5.2.

Product handling 4.1 ESD protection Despite the KMA22x and KMA32x devices being equipped with capacitors to increase the ESD robustness, apply the usual ESD protection measures.

All rights reserved. 4 of 13 AN11717 NXP Semiconductors KMA22x; KMA32x handling information 4.2 Forces on body Forces on the plastic body during general handling should not exceed 10 N. Apply forces via flat surfaces, parallel to the sensor surface. Avoid stress concentrations at smaller areas. 4.3 Forces along leads .0 $ Maximum pull force along leads is limited to 10 N per lead. Forces in other directions should be prevented as the leads tend to bend easily. Pushing of leads can cause caving-in. ) DDD Fig 4. Pull force along lead 4.4 Forces at fin Maximum pull force is limited to 15 N. Forces perpendicular to the fin should be prevented as the fin tends to bend easily. .0 $ ) DDD Fig 5.

Red areas should not be used for alignment due to uncontrolled package outline caused by gate remains or potential mold compound flash. Other areas can be used for alignment.

Therefore, it has the same tolerance of 0.1 mm. . 0 $ ULP ILQ DDD Fig 8. Reading point alignment features 5.1.3 Pin alignment Just aligning the package at the sensor head may not be sufficient to ensure proper positioning of the pins to their external counterparts. Align the product at the rim. It is also possible to align at the leads itself. DOLJQPHQWIHDWXUHVDWSDFNDJHVLGHVULP FORVHWRJDWHORFDWLRQWRDOLJQVHQVRUOHDGV ZLWKH[WHUQDOOHDGV DDD Fig 9.

All rights reserved. 7 of 13 AN11717 NXP Semiconductors KMA22x; KMA32x handling information 5.2 Lead bending To adapt the packages to customer requirements, the leads can be bent as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11. It is not recommended to bend the dambar (and fin) region (see Figure note 1 of Figure 11) as the lead geometry in those areas can compromise the bending result. Instead, bending is recommended at the straight parts of the leads. .0 $ To prevent lead pull forces at the entrance to the plastic body, use proper clamping at the leads in between the bending position and the plastic body.

To limit the stress, control the heat by verifying that the Sn reflow zone does stop in front of plastic body (at body entrance). ERG\HQWUDQFH ZHOGLQJ]RQH DDD Fig 15.
