Application note
EnFilm™ micro battery EFL700A39
recommendations for manual assembly on PCB
Introduction
This document provides recommendations to manually mount EnFilmTM micro battery
EFL700A39 on printed circuit board (PCB) for prototyping purposes (mount 1 to 6 micro
batteries to assemble in one step on PCB).
This prototype mounting process is intended for use at room temperature (glue
polymerization has to be done at room temperature).
STMicroelectronics has developed micro battery packaging with reduced thickness and
weight.

PCB design recommendations AN4046
1 PCB design recommendations
For optimum electrical performance and highly reliable solder joints, STMicroelectronics
recommends the PCB design guidelines listed in Tab l e 1 .
Note: A too thick gold layer finishing on the PCB pad is not recommended (low joint reliability).
1.1 Micro vias
An alternative to routing on the top surface is to route on buried layers. To achieve this, the
pads are connected to the lower layers using micro vias.
