NOTES ON CORRECT USE
(1) The space between PC board and root of the lead should be kept more than 1 mm to prevent undesired stress
to the lead and also should be kept less than 4 mm to prevent undesired parasitic inductance.
Recommended that space is 2.0 to 3.0 mm typical.
(2) Recommended torque strength of the screw is 59 to 78 Ncm.
(3) Form the ground pattern as wide as possible to minimize ground impedance.
(to prevent undesired oscillation)
All the ground pins must be connected together with wide ground pattern to decrease impedance difference.
RECOMMENDED SOLDERING CONDITIONS
This product should be soldered and mounted under the following recommended conditions.
For soldering
methods and conditions other than those recommended below, contact your nearby sales office.
Soldering Method
Partial Heating
Soldering Conditions
Peak temperature (pin temperature) : 350°C or below
Soldering time (per pin of device)
Recommended Condition Symbol
Note
: 3 seconds or less
Note The point of pin part heating must be kept more than 1.2 mm distance from the root of lead.

liability arising from the use of such products. No license, express, implied or otherwise, is granted under any
patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of NEC or others.
• Descriptions of circuits, software and other related information in this document are provided for illustrative
purposes in semiconductor product operation and application examples. The incorporation of these
circuits, software and information in the design of customer's equipment shall be done under the full
responsibility of customer. NEC assumes no responsibility for any losses incurred by customers or third

• While NEC endeavours to enhance the quality, reliability and safety of NEC semiconductor products, customers
agree and acknowledge that the possibility of defects thereof cannot be eliminated entirely. To minimize
risks of damage to property or injury (including death) to persons arising from defects in NEC
semiconductor products, customers must incorporate sufficient safety measures in their design, such as
redundancy, fire-containment, and anti-failure features.
• NEC semiconductor products are classified into the following three quality grades:
"Standard", "Special" and "Specific". The "Specific" quality grade applies only to semiconductor products
developed based on a customer-designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The
recommended applications of a semiconductor product depend on its quality grade, as indicated below.
Customers must check the quality grade of each semiconductor product before using it in a particular
application.
"Standard": Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment, audio
and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic equipment
and industrial robots
"Special": Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster
systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed
for life support)
"Specific": Aircraft, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life
support systems and medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of NEC semiconductor products is "Standard" unless otherwise expressly specified in NEC's
data sheets or data books, etc. If customers wish to use NEC semiconductor products in applications not
intended by NEC, they must contact an NEC sales representative in advance to determine NEC's willingness
to support a given application.
(Note)
(1) "NEC" as used in this statement means NEC Corporation, NEC Compound Semiconductor Devices, Ltd.
and also includes its majority-owned subsidiaries.
(2) "NEC semiconductor products" means any semiconductor product developed or manufactured by or for
NEC (as defined above).
