Recommended Soldering Conditions of Lead-Free Products



The recommended soldering conditions differ depending on the product, so please contact an NEC Electronics sales representative for details.



Through-Hole Type (THD)

The wave soldering conditions for molten solder with a temperature of 260°C or lower are set as follows.


  • Maximum temperature (package surface temperature): 260°C or below
  • Time at maximum temperature: 10 seconds or less
  • Time with temperature higher than 220°C: 60 seconds or less
  • Preheating temperature: 120°C or below
  • Maximum number of reflow processes: 1
  • Maximum chlorine content of rosin flux (percentage mass): 0.2% or less

Surface-Mount Type (SMD)

For reflow soldering conditions, two different peak temperatures of 250°C (max.) and of 260°C (max.) are specified (depending on package type). These are set to insure that devices can withstand mounting using Sn-Ag-Cu or other high melting point lead-free soldering methods. The figure below shows the temperature profile of each condition. The heat resistance of a surface-mount product, which is regulated by the package surface temperature, is set as the recommended soldering conditions for each product.
