SMDJ18A - LITTELFUSE

SMDJ18A Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended land pattern for the SMDJ18A?
  The recommended land pattern for the SMDJ18A is a rectangular pad with a size of 2.5mm x 1.5mm, with a 0.5mm radius corner. The pad should be centered on the component and have a solder mask defined gap of 0.2mm.
• How do I handle the SMDJ18A during assembly to prevent damage?
  Handle the SMDJ18A by the body, not the leads, to prevent damage. Use anti-static wrist straps, mats, or floors to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Avoid touching the component pins or leads with bare hands.
• What is the maximum storage temperature for the SMDJ18A?
  The maximum storage temperature for the SMDJ18A is 30°C to 40°C (86°F to 104°F) with a relative humidity of 60% to 90%.
• Can I use the SMDJ18A in a high-reliability application?
  Yes, the SMDJ18A is suitable for high-reliability applications. It is designed and manufactured to meet the requirements of AEC-Q101, which ensures high reliability and performance in harsh environments.
• How do I solder the SMDJ18A?
  Use a soldering iron with a temperature of 250°C to 260°C (482°F to 500°F) and a solder with a melting point of 180°C to 220°C (356°F to 428°F). Apply a small amount of solder to the pad and component lead, and use a soldering technique that minimizes thermal stress.
