For our SMT components, we recommend the following reow soldering prole, illustrated here with a typical characteristic
and process boundaries. In the preheating phase, the PCB and components are preheated while the solder paste is activated.
Above a temperature of 217 °C to 221 °C, the solder fuses and joins the components to the connectors on the board. The
temperature is maintained at 245 °C to 254 °C for between 10 and 45 seconds in order to ensure a secure connection. During
the cooling period the solder hardens. Stress cracks as a result of excessively rapid cooling must be avoided.
