Notes on Handling
1) Static charge prevention
2) Soldering
3) Dust and dirt protection
4) Installing (attaching)
5) Others
CCD image sensors are easily damaged by static discharge. Before handling be sure to take the following
protective measures.
a) Either handle bare handed or use non-chargeable gloves, clothes or material.
b) When handling directly use an earth band.
c) Install a conductive mat on the floor or working table to prevent the generation of static electricity.
d) Ionized air is recommended for discharge when handling CCD image sensor.
e) For the shipment of mounted substrates, use boxes treated for the prevention of static charges.
a) Make sure the upper surface of ceramic package temperature does not exceed 80°C.
b) Solder dipping in a mounting furnace causes damage to the glass and other defects. Use a ground 30W
c) To dismount an image sensor, do not use a solder suction equipment. When using an electric desoldering
Image sensors are packed and delivered by taking care of protecting its glass plates from harmful dust and
dirt. Clean glass plates with the following operation as required, and use them.
a) Perform all assembly operations in a clean room (class 1000 or less).
b) Do not either touch glass plates by hand or have any object come in contact with glass surfaces. Should
c) Clean with a cotton bud and ethyl alcohol if the grease stained. Be careful not to scratch the glass.
d) Keep in a case to protect from dust and dirt. To prevent dew condensation, preheat or precool when
