. Fixing of the ferrite bead Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with a
lead free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
Fix the ferrite bead to the frame in the following (Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come
procedure. printed with the lead free mark due to their particular size.)

1. Stick the double-faced tape (Sony Chemicals G9000 or : LEAD FREE MARK
the equivalent: size of 4 mm x 4 mm) on the MA-146
board as shown in the following illustration. m
. Be sure to use the unleaded solder for the printed circuit
MA-146 board board printed with the lead free mark.
. The unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40 dC
higher than the ordinary solder, therefore, it is recom-
mended to use the soldering iron having a temperature
regulator.
. The ordinary soldering iron can be used but the iron tip
has to be applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer
Frame Double-faced tape (4 mm x 4 mm)
time. The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if
the heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful.
2. Place the ferrite bead on the double-faced tape.
3. Fix the ferrite bead to the frame at the two points using
the adhesive bond (Sony Chemicals SC608LVZ or the
equivalent). (Refer to the illustration below.)

Fix the ferrite bead so that it does not contact with the
land.
