I have to solder emva250ada470mf55g capacitor but it has plastic base around the legs. Do i solder it directly onto the pins or do i have to remove the plastic base?
You Should not remove the plastic base, it will give the electrical isolation.
Re flow soldering is preferred for this capacitor, You can do soldering by hand also
Hello jimkess,
Ensure the surfaces you're going to solder to are clean and free of solder.
You can remove the plastic base as suggested by smijesh to give your iron
tip more room to maneuver.
Melt a small amount of solder on only ONE of the pads. Let the solder solidify.
Align the capacitor over the pads to be soldered, making sure that you leave
some gap between the ends of the pads.
Apply heat to the solder you placed prior to, at the same time aligning the tabs
of the capacitor. Once solder has adhered to that single pad, allow it to cool.
Make sure the cap has stuck. You can now solder the other end.
I hope the above helps.
Please let us know how you get on.
Regards,
Relayer
