I understand the description of the component, but not the part about staggered strips of 1/16" solid copper.
Do you have a picture or drawing you can share?

Subject: [TN] Metalized Film Capacitors

Good Morning All:

     We have a unique application here where we need to solder a series of EPCOS Metalized Film Capacitors (http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/470157/EPCOS/B32778G9506K000.html) to staggered strips of 1/16" solid copper. Some assemblies will consist of as many as 24 capacitors with a net panel size as large as 8" x 14". My concern is trying to determine how I can mass solder these assemblies. I'm concerned that I won't be able to adequate pre-heat the assembly at our wave solder machine to insure we get compliant solder fillets. I'm thinking we can preheat the assemblies before we place it into the machine, but with projected medium to high volume, I'm not sure if this is the best alternative. Looking for some advice. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Steve Vargas
