Lead (Pb) Soldering Recommendations
The principal techniques used for the soldering of
and Wave soldering. Typical profiles are shown on the right.
The recommended solder for the MHS suppressor is
Wave soldering is the most strenuous of the processes.
To avoid the possibility of generating stresses due to
thermal shock, a preheat stage in the soldering process
is recommended, and the peak temperature of the solder
process should be rigidly controlled.
When using a reflow process, care should be taken to
ensure that the MHS chip is not subjected to a thermal
gradient steeper than 4 degrees per second; the ideal
gradient being 2 degrees per second. During the soldering
process, preheating to within 100 degrees of the solder's
peak temperature is essential to minimize thermal shock.
still necessary to ensure that any further thermal shocks

Device Characteristics
transient voltage suppressor approaches a linear (ohmic)
relationship and shows a temperature dependent effect.
At or below the maximum working voltage, the suppressor
is in a high resistance model (approaching 10
6
Ω at its
maximum rated working voltage). Leakage currents at
maximum rated voltage are below 100µµA;
for 0402 size below 20µµA.

Speed of Response
The Multilayer Suppressor is a leadless device. Its response
time is not limited by the parasitic lead inductances found
in other surface mount packages. The response time of the

in “real world” applications, the associated circuit wiring
is often the greatest factor effecting speed of response.
Therefore, transient suppressor placement within a circuit
can be considered important in certain instances.
