7.2.3.2
Maximum Temperature and Duration
The following limits are recommended for the SMT board-level soldering process to attach the
module:
•
A maximum module temperature of 245°C. This specifies the temperature as measured at
the module’s top side.
•
A maximum duration of 30 seconds at this temperature.
Please note that while the solder paste manufacturers' recommendations for best temperature
and duration for solder reflow should generally be followed, the limits listed above must not be
exceeded.
PCS3 is specified for one soldering cycle only. Once PCS3 is removed from the application,
the
module will very likely be destroyed and cannot be soldered onto another application.
