(2) Using medium infrared ray reflow
•
Heating top and bottom with long or medium infrared rays is recommended (see Figure 3).
Figure 3 Heating top and bottom with long or medium infrared rays
•
Complete the infrared ray reflow process from 30 to 50 seconds at a package surface temperature of between
210°C and 260°C.
•
Refer to Figure 4 for an example of a good temperature profile for infrared or hot air reflow.

(3) Using hot air reflow
•
Complete hot air reflow from 30 to 50 seconds at a package surface temperature of between 230°C and
260°C.
•
For an example of a recommended temperature profile, refer to Figure 4 above.

Flux cleaning and ultrasonic cleaning
(1) When cleaning circuit boards to remove flux, make sure that no residual reactive ions such as Na or Cl
remain. Note that organic solvents react with water to generate hydrogen chloride and other corrosive gases
which can degrade device performance.
(2) Washing devices with water will not cause any problems. However, make sure that no reactive ions such as
sodium and chlorine are left as a residue. Also, be sure to dry devices sufficiently after washing.
(3) Do not rub device markings with a brush or with your hand during cleaning or while the devices are still
wet from the cleaning agent. Doing so can rub off the markings.
