7.2 Recommended Profile for Reflow Soldering
Typical values for reflow soldering of the module in convection or IR/convection
ovens are as follows (according to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D):
Parameter Value
Peak temperature (RoHS compliant process)
245°C
Average ramp up rate to peak (217°C to Peak)
3°C / second max.
Preheat temperature
min=150°C; max=200°C
Ramp up time from min. to max. preheat temperature 60 … 120 seconds
Temperature maintained above 217°C
60 … 150 seconds
Time within 5°C of actual peak temperature
30 seconds
Ramp down rate
6°C / second max.
Time 25°C to peak temperature
8 minutes max.

The solder pads hold solder of a thickness of about 150 µm for improved solder
process results.
As results of soldering may vary among different soldering systems and types of
solder and depend on additional factors like density and types of components on
board, the values above should be considered as a starting point for further optimi-
zation.
