Post solder Cleaning and Drying
Considerations
Post solder cleaning is usually the final circuit-board
assembly process prior to electrical board testing. The
result of inadequate cleaning and drying can affect
both the reliability of a power module and the
testability of the finished circuit-board assembly. For
guidance on appropriate soldering, cleaning and
drying procedures, refer to Lineage Power Board
Mounted Power Modules: Soldering and Cleaning
Application Note.
Through-Hole Lead-Free Soldering
Information
The RoHS-compliant through-hole products use the
SAC (Sn/Ag/Cu) Pb-free solder and RoHS-compliant
components. They are designed to be processed
through single or dual wave soldering machines. The
pins have an RoHS-compliant finish that is compatible
with both Pb and Pb-free wave soldering processes.
A maximum preheat rate of 3C/s is suggested. The
wave preheat process should be such that the
temperature of the power module board is kept below
210C. For Pb solder, the recommended pot
temperature is 260C, while the Pb-free solder pot is
270C max. Not all RoHS-compliant through-hole
products can be processed with paste-through-hole
Pb or Pb-free reflow process. If additional information
is needed, please consult with your Lineage Power
representative for more details.
Surface Mount Information
Pick and Place
The FLT007A0-SRZ SMT modules use an open
frame construction and are designed for a fully
automated assembly process. The modules are fitted
with a label designed to provide a large surface area
for pick and place operations. The label meets all the
requirements for surface mount processing, as well as
safety standards, and is able to withstand reflow
temperatures of up to 300oC. The label also carries
product information such as product code, serial
number and location of manufacture.
Nozzle Recommendations
The module weight has been kept to a minimum by
using open frame construction. Even so, these
modules have a relatively large mass when compared
to conventional SMT components. Variables such as
nozzle size, tip style, vacuum pressure and pick &
placement speed should be considered to optimize
this process. The minimum recommended nozzle
diameter for reliable operation is 5mm. The maximum
nozzle outer diameter, which will safely fit within the
allowable component spacing, is 8 mm max.
Tin Lead Soldering
The FLT007A0-SRZ power modules are lead free
modules and can be soldered either in a lead-free
solder process or in a conventional Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb)
process. It is recommended that the customer review
data sheets in order to customize the solder reflow
profile for each application board assembly. The
following instructions must be observed when
soldering these units. Failure to observe these
instructions may result in the failure of or cause
damage to the modules, and can adversely affect
long-term reliability.
In a conventional Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) solder process
peak reflow temperatures are limited to less than
235oC. Typically, the eutectic solder melts at 183oC,
wets the land, and subsequently wicks the device
connection. Sufficient time must be allowed to fuse
the plating on the connection to ensure a reliable
solder joint. There are several types of SMT reflow
technologies currently used in the industry. These
surface mount power modules can be reliably
soldered using natural forced convection, IR (radiant
infrared), or a combination of convection/IR. For
reliable soldering the solder reflow profile should be
established by accurately measuring the modules CP
connector temperatures.
