3.4.5 Symbol definitions

[Soldering method]

The soldering method is indicated by a code consisting of two letters of the alphabet, as shown in the table on the right.
Table 3-12. Soldering Method
Symbol Soldering Method
IR Infrared reflow
VP VPS
WS Wave soldering


[Peak temperature]

The peak temperature is indicated by the lower two digits of the specified peak temperature. Note that the package surface temperature is indicated if the recommended soldering method is infrared reflow or VPS, and that the molten solder temperature is indicated if the soldering method is wave soldering.
Table 3-13. Peak Temperature
Symbol Peak Temperature
15 215°C
20 220°C
30 230°C
35 235°C
60 260°C


[Baking time]

The recommended baking time is indicated by using the symbols, each consisting of two numerical digits, shown in the table on the right.
Table 3-14. Baking Time
Symbol Baking Time

36 36 hours MIN.,
72 hours MAX.


[Number of storage days after opening dry pack]

The number of days during which the product can be stored after the dry pack has been opened is indicated by the symbols shown on the right.
Table 3-15. Number of Storage Days After Opening Dry Pack
Symbol Number of days
(25°C, 65% RH or less)
1 1 day (24 hours) MAX.
2 2 days (48 hours) MAX.
3 3 days (72 hours) MAX.
7 7 days (168 hours) MAX.
None Not limited


[Number of times of mounting]

The number of times the product can be mounted is indicated by the symbols shown on the right.
Table 3-16. Number of Times of Mounting
Symbol Number of Times
1 1
2 2 times MAX.
3 3 times MAX.


The above symbol codes apply to the products that can be soldered by means of a total heating method. Some of NEC Electronic's SMDs, however, cannot be soldered by a total heating method, and a code indicating that these products must be soldered by a partial heating method is used for such products.
