Notes on Handling
1) Static charge prevention
2) Soldering
3) Dust and dirt protection
4) Do not expose to strong light (sun rays) for long periods, color filters will be discolored.
5) Exposure to high temperature or humidity will affect the characteristics. Accordingly avoid storage or usage
6) CCD image sensors are precise optical equipment that should not be subject to mechanical shocks.
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 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
a) Operate in clean environments (around class 1000 is appropriate).
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
e) When a protective tape is applied before shipping, just before use remove the tape applied for
in such conditions.
Also use conductive shoes.
