Page 7 of 20 Temperature measurement B57867S Miniature sensors with bendable wires S867 Mounting instructions 1 Soldering 1.1 Leaded NTC thermistors Leaded thermistors comply with the solderability requirements specified by CECC. When soldering, care must be taken that the NTC thermistors are not damaged by excessive heat. The following maximum temperatures, maximum time spans and minimum distances have to be observed: Dip soldering Iron soldering Bath temperature max. 260 °C max. 360 °C Soldering time max. 4 s max. 2 s Distance from thermistor min. 6 mm min. 6 mm Under more severe soldering conditions the resistance may change. 1.2 Leadless NTC thermistors In case of NTC thermistors without leads, soldering is restricted to devices which are provided with a solderable metallization. The temperature shock caused by the application of hot solder may produce fine cracks in the ceramic, resulting in changes in resistance. To prevent leaching of the metallization, solder with silver additives or with a low tin content should be used. In addition, soldering methods should be employed which permit short soldering times. 1.3 SMD NTC thermistors SMD NTC thermistors can be provided with a nickel barrier termination or on special request with silver-palladium termination. The usage of mild, non-activated fluxes for soldering is recommended as well as a proper cleaning of the PCB. Nickel barrier termination The nickel barrier layer of the silver/nickel/tin termination (see figure 1) prevents leaching of the silver base metalization layer. This allows great flexibility in the selection of soldering parameters. The tin prevents the nickel layer from oxidizing and thus ensures better wetting by the solder. The nickel barrier termination is suitable for all commonly-used soldering methods. Note: SMD NTCs with AgPd termination are not approved for lead-free soldering.

Please read Cautions and warnings and Important notes at the end of this document. Page 12 of 20 Temperature measurement B57867S Miniature sensors with bendable wires 2 S867 Conductive adhesion An alternative to soldering is the gluing of thermistors with conductive adhesives. The benefit of this method is that it involves no thermal stress. The adhesives used must be chemically inert. 3 Clamp contacting Pressure contacting by means of clamps is particularly suitable for applications involving frequent switching and high turn-on powers. 4 Robustness of terminations (leaded types) The leads meet the requirements of IEC 60068-2-21. They may not be bent closer than 4 mm from the solder joint on the thermistor body or from the point at which they leave the feedthroughs. During bending, any mechanical stress at the outlet of the leads must be removed. The bending radius should be at least 0.75 mm. Tensile strength: Test Ua1: Leads 0.25 < 0.35 < 0.50 < 0.80 < ∅ ≤0.25 mm = 1.0 N ∅ ≤0.35 mm = 2.5 N ∅ ≤0.50 mm = 5.0 N ∅ ≤0.80 mm = 10.0 N ∅ ≤1.25 mm = 20.0 N Bending strength: Test Ub: Two 90°-bends in opposite directions at a weight of 0.25 kg. Torsional strength: Test Uc: severity 2 The lead is bent by 90° at a distance of 6 to 6.5 mm from the thermistor body. The bending radius of the leads should be approx. 0.75 mm. Two torsions of 180° each (severity 2). When subjecting leads to mechanical stress, the following should be observed: Tensile stress on leads During mounting and operation tensile forces on the leads are to be avoided. Bending of leads Bending of the leads directly on the thermistor body is not permissible. A lead may be bent at a minimum distance of twice the wire's diameter +2 mm from the solder joint on the thermistor body. During bending the wire must be mechanically relieved at its outlet. The bending radius should be at least 0.75 mm. Twisting of leads The twisting (torsion) by 180° of a lead bent by 90° is permissible at 6 mm from the bottom of the thermistor body. Please read Cautions and warnings and Important notes at the end of this document. Page 13 of 20 Temperature measurement B57867S Miniature sensors with bendable wires 5 S867 Sealing and potting When thermistors are sealed, potted or overmolded, there must be no mechanical stress caused by thermal expansion during the production process (curing / overmolding process) and during later operation. The upper category temperature of the thermistor must not be exceeded. Ensure that the materials used (sealing / potting compound and plastic material) are chemically neutral. 6 Cleaning Washing processes may damage the product due to the possible static or cyclic mechanical loads (e.g. ultrasonic cleaning). They may cause cracks to develop on the product and its parts, which might lead to reduced reliability or lifetime. 7 Storage In order to maintain their solderability, thermistors must be stored in a non-corrosive atmosphere. Humidity, temperature and container materials are critical factors. Do not store SMDs where they are exposed to heat or direct sunlight. Otherwise, the packing material may be deformed or SMDs may stick together, causing problems during mounting. After opening the factory seals, such as polyvinyl-sealed packages, use the SMDs as soon as possible. The components should be left in the original packing. Touching the metallization of unsoldered thermistors may change their soldering properties. Storage temperature: 25 °C up to 45 °C Relative humidity (without condensation): ≤75% annual mean <95%, maximum 30 days per annum Solder the thermistors listed in this data book after shipment from EPCOS within the time specified: SMDs with nickel barrier termination: 12 months SMDs with AgPd termination: 6 months Leaded components: 24 months Please read Cautions and warnings and Important notes at the end of this document. Page 14 of 20 Temperature measurement B57867S Miniature sensors with bendable wires 8 S867 Placement and orientation of SMD NTC thermistors on PCB a) Component placement It is recommended that the PC board should be held by means of some adequate supporting pins such as shown left to prevent the SMDs from being damaged or cracked. b) Cracks When placing a component near an area which is apt to bend or a grid groove on the PC board, it is advisable to have both electrodes subjected to uniform stress, or to position the component's electrodes at right angles to the grid groove or bending line (see c) Component orientation). c) Component orientation Choose a mounting position that minimizes the stress imposed on the chip during flexing or bending of the board. Please read Cautions and warnings and Important notes at the end of this document. Page 15 of 20 Temperature measurement B57867S Miniature sensors with bendable wires S867 Cautions and warnings See "Important notes". Storage Store thermistors only in original packaging. Do not open the package prior to storage. Storage conditions in original packaging: storage temperature 25 °C ... +45 °C, relative humidity ≤75% annual mean, <95% maximum 30 days per annum, dew precipitation is inadmissible. Do not store thermistors where they are exposed to heat or direct sunlight. Otherwise, the packing material may be deformed or components may stick together, causing problems during mounting. Avoid contamination of thermistor surface during storage, handling and processing. Avoid storage of thermistors in harmful environments like corrosive gases (SOx, Cl etc). Use the components as soon as possible after opening the factory seals, i.e. the polyvinyl-sealed packages. Solder thermistors within the time specified after shipment from EPCOS. For leaded components this is 24 months, for SMD components with nickel barrier termination 12 months, for SMD components with AgPd termination 6 months. Handling NTC thermistors must not be dropped. Chip-offs or any other damage must not be caused during handling of NTCs. Do not touch components with bare hands. Gloves are recommended. Avoid contamination of thermistor surface during handling. Washing processes may damage the product due to the possible static or cyclic mechanical loads (e.g. ultrasonic cleaning). They may cause cracks to develop on the product and its parts, which might lead to reduced reliability or lifetime. Bending / twisting leads A lead (wire) may be bent at a minimum distance of twice the wire’s diameter plus 4 mm from the component head or housing. When bending ensure the wire is mechanically relieved at the component head or housing. The bending radius should be at least 0.75 mm. Twisting (torsion) by 180° of a lead bent by 90° is permissible at 6 mm from the bottom of the thermistor body. Soldering Use resin-type flux or non-activated flux. Insufficient preheating may cause ceramic cracks. Rapid cooling by dipping in solvent is not recommended. Complete removal of flux is recommended.

Page 16 of 20 Temperature measurement B57867S Miniature sensors with bendable wires S867 Mounting Ensure that no thermo-mechanical stress occurs due to production processes (curing or overmolding processes) when thermistors are sealed, potted or overmolded or during their subsequent operation. The maximum temperature of the thermistor must not be exceeded. Ensure that the materials used (sealing/potting compound and plastic material) are chemically neutral. Electrodes/contacts must not be scratched or damaged before/during/after the mounting process. Contacts and housing used for assembly with the thermistor must be clean before mounting. Ensure that adjacent materials are designed for operation at temperatures comparable to the surface temperature of the thermistor. Be sure that surrounding parts and materials can withstand the temperature. Avoid contamination of the thermistor surface during processing. The connections of sensors (e.g. cable end, wire end, plug terminal) may only be exposed to an environment with normal atmospheric conditions. Tensile forces on cables or leads must be avoided during mounting and operation. Bending or twisting of cables or leads directly on the thermistor body is not permissible. Avoid using chemical substances as mounting aids. It must be ensured that no water or other liquids enter the NTC thermistors (e.g. through plug terminals). In particular, water based substances (e.g. soap suds) must not be used as mounting aids for sensors. Operation Use thermistors only within the specified operating temperature range. Use thermistors only within the specified power range. Environmental conditions must not harm the thermistors. Only use the thermistors under normal atmospheric conditions or within the specified conditions. Contact of NTC thermistors with any liquids and solvents shall be prevented. It must be ensured that no water enters the NTC thermistors (e.g. through plug terminals). For measurement purposes (checking the specified resistance vs. temperature), the component must not be immersed in water but in suitable liquids (e.g. Galden). Avoid dewing and condensation unless thermistor is specified for these conditions. Bending or twisting of cables and/or wires is not permissible during operation of the sensor in the application.

Page 19 of 20 Important notes The following applies to all products named in this publication: 1. Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our products for certain areas of application. These statements are based on our knowledge of typical requirements that are often placed on our products in the areas of application concerned. We nevertheless expressly point out that such statements cannot be regarded as binding statements about the suitability of our products for a particular customer application. As a rule, EPCOS is either unfamiliar with individual customer applications or less familiar with them than the customers themselves. For these reasons, it is always ultimately incumbent on the customer to check and decide whether an EPCOS product with the properties described in the product specification is suitable for use in a particular customer application. 2. We also point out that in individual cases, a malfunction of electronic components or failure before the end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in the current state of the art, even if they are operated as specified. In customer applications requiring a very high level of operational safety and especially in customer applications in which the malfunction or failure of an electronic component could endanger human life or health (e.g. in accident prevention or lifesaving systems), it must therefore be ensured by means of suitable design of the customer application or other action taken by the customer (e.g. installation of protective circuitry or redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained by third parties in the event of malfunction or failure of an electronic component. 3. The warnings, cautions and product-specific notes must be observed. 4. In order to satisfy certain technical requirements, some of the products described in this publication may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g. because they are classed as hazardous). Useful information on this will be found in our Material Data Sheets on the Internet (www.epcos.com/material). Should you have any more detailed questions, please contact our sales offices. 5. We constantly strive to improve our products. Consequently, the products described in this publication may change from time to time. The same is true of the corresponding product specifications. Please check therefore to what extent product descriptions and specifications contained in this publication are still applicable before or when you place an order. We also reserve the right to discontinue production and delivery of products. Consequently, we cannot guarantee that all products named in this publication will always be available. The aforementioned does not apply in the case of individual agreements deviating from the foregoing for customer-specific products. 6. Unless otherwise agreed in individual contracts, all orders are subject to the current version of the "General Terms of Delivery for Products and Services in the Electrical Industry" published by the German Electrical and Electronics Industry Association (ZVEI). 7.
