1. Soldering (1) TZ03 series can be soldered by flow soldering method and soldering iron. Do not use reflow soldering method. (2) Soldering condition Refer to the temperature profile. If the soldering conditions are not suitable, e.g., excessive time and/or excessive temperature, the trimmer capacitor may deviate from the specified characteristics. (3) The dimension of mounting hole should be Murata's standard mounting hole used at flow soldering. The amount of solder is critical. Insufficient amounts of solder can lead to insufficient soldering strength on PCB. Excessive amounts of solder may cause bridging between the terminals or contact failure due to flux wicking up. (4) When using soldering iron, the string solder shall be applied to the lower part of the terminal only. Do not apply flux except to the terminals. Excessive amounts of solder and/or applying solder to the upper part of the terminal may cause fixed rotor or the contact failure due to flux invasion into the movable part and/or the contact point. The soldering iron should not come in contact with the plastic case of the trimmer capacitor. If such contact does occur, the trimmer capacitor may be damaged. (5) Our recommended chlorine content of string solder is 0.5wt% max. (6) Do not use water-soluble flux (for water cleaning). To prevent the deterioration of trimmer capacitor characteristics, apply flux only to terminals. 2. Mounting (1) Do not apply excessive force (preferably 5.0 N [Ref: 500gf] max.), when the trimmer capacitor is mounted on the PCB. (2) Use the suitable PCB holes which are the same pitch as the terminal of the trimmer capacitor. If it would not fit with the terminal, the excessive stress would be applied to the terminal and the trimmer capacitor may deviate from the specified characteristics. (3) Do not apply bending stress more than 10.0N (Ref: 1kgf) after the trimmer capacitor has been mounted on the PCB. (4) Mount trimmer capacitor in contact with PCB. (5) In case of bending the terminals, do not apply excessive force to the body of the product and prevent the terminal fixing part from damaging. 3. Cleaning Isopropyl alcohol and Ethyl alcohol are available material for cleaning. If you use any other types of solvents, please evaluate performance by your set. Moreover, please confirm no damage for trimmer capacitor after cleaning by your conditions. 4. Other Note the polarity of the trimmer capacitor to minimize influence by stray capacitance. (Refer to the dimensions concerning the polarity.)
