Soldering:
• The solder profile must comply with the Würth Elektronik technical soldering specification. All other profiles will void the warranty.
• All other soldering methods are at the customers’ own risk.
Cleaning and Washing:
• Washing agents used during the production to clean the customer application might damage or change the characteristics of the
component. Washing agents may have a negative effect on the long-term functionality of the product.
• Using a brush during the cleaning process may damage the component. Therefore, we do not recommend using a brush during the PCB
cleaning process.
Potting:
• If the product is potted in the customer application, the potting material might shrink or expand during and after hardening. Shrinking
could lead to an incomplete seal, allowing contaminants into the components. Expansion could damage the components. We
recommend a manual inspection after potting or coating to avoid these effects.
Storage Conditions:
• A storage of Würth Elektronik products for longer than 12 months is not recommended. Therefore, all products shall be used within the
period of 12 months based on the day of shipment.
• Do not expose the components to direct sunlight.
• The storage conditions in the original packaging are defined according to DIN EN 61760-2.
• The storage conditions stated in the original packaging apply to the storage time and not to the transportation time of the components.
Packaging:
• The packaging specifications apply only to purchase orders comprising whole packaging units. If the ordered quantity exceeds or is
lower than the specified packaging unit, packaging in accordance with the packaging specifications cannot be ensured.
Handling:
• The maximum permissible torques must be observed to prevent mechanical destruction of the component and PCB.
• It may occur that the hole and/or the thread is not completely coated. Stains and/or deposits may arise during rinsing and drying the
component. The soldering, storage and holding forces are not affected thereby.
• Violation of the technical product specifications will void the warranty.
• The temperature rise of the component must be taken into consideration. The operating temperature is comprised of ambient
temperature and temperature rise of the component.The operating temperature of the component shall not exceed the maximum
temperature specified.
