12.7 Handling of substrate
(1) The stress applied to the chip varies depending on the material and construction of the mounted substrate.
If the coefficients of thermal expansion for the substrate and chip vary significantly, the difference in thermal expansion and
shrinkage could cause cracks to form in the chip.
We assume that the products are mounted on glass-epoxy substrate. Assessment has not been conducted on substrates
where the coefficient of thermal expansion varies significantly from glass-epoxy substrates. If mounting on these
substrates, be sure to conduct full assessments before use.
(2) After mounting products on a substrate, do not apply any stress to the product caused by bending or twisting to the
substrate when cropping the substrate, inserting and removing a connector from the substrate or tightening screw to the
substrate.
Excessive mechanical stress may cause cracking in the product.
Also, if mounting on flexible substrates, excessive mechanical stress could be applied to the chip by even slight bending or
twisting when handling this substrate, and so please conduct full assessments before use.

12.8 Cleaning
The product shall be cleaned under the following conditions.
(1) The cleaning temperature shall be 60°C max. If isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is used, the cleaning temperature shall be 40°C
max.
(2) Perform ultrasonic cleaning under the following conditions. Exercise caution to prevent resonance phenomenon in
mounted products and the PCB.
Item
Power
Requirement
20 W/L max.
Time
5 min max.
Frequency
(3) Cleaner
28 kHz to 40 kHz
Alcohol-based cleaner: IPA
Aqueous agent: PINE ALPHA ST-100S
(4) There shall be no residual flux or residual cleaner. When using aqueous agent, rinse the product with deionized water
adequately and completely dry it so that no cleaner is left.
* For other cleaning, consult our technical department.
12.9 Storage and transportation
Storage period
Use the product within 12 months after delivery.
If you do not use the product for more than 12 months, check solderability before using it.
Storage conditions • The products shall be stored in a room not subject to rapid changes in temperature and
humidity. The recommended temperature range is -10°C to +40°C. The recommended relative
humidity range is 15% to 85%.
Keeping the product in corrosive gases, such as sulfur, chlorine gas or acid may cause the poor
solderability.
• Do not place the products directly on the floor; they should be placed on a palette so that they
are not affected by humidity or dust.
• Avoid keeping the products in a place exposed to direct sunlight, heat or vibration.
• Do not keep products in bulk packaging. Bulk storage could result in collisions between the
products or between the products and other parts, resulting in chipping or wire breakage.
• Avoid storing the product by itself bare (i.e. exposed directly to air).
Transportation
Excessive vibration and impact reduces the reliability of the products. Exercise caution when
handling the products.
12.10 Resin coating (including moisture-proof coating)
Before applying any resin coating, please consult our technical department.
12.11 Mounting conditions
Check the mounting condition before using.
Using mounting conditions (nozzles, equipment conditions, etc.) that are not suitable for products may lead to pick up errors,
misalignment, or damage to the product.
