SOLDERING PRECAUTIONS
The melting temperature of solder is higher than the rated o
temperature of the device. When the entire device is heated
to ahigh temperature, failure to complete soldering within a.
short time could result in device failure. Therefore, the
following items should always be observed in order to .
minimize the thermal stress to which the devices are
subjected.
●Always preheat the device.
. The delta temperature between the preheat and soldering
should be 100”C or less.’ e
.When preheating and soldering, the temperature of the
leads and the case must not exceed the maximum
temperature ratings as shown on the data sheet. When *
