INFORMATION FOR USING THE SC-59 6 LEAD SURFACE MOUNT PACKAGE
MINIMUM RECOMMENDED FOOTPRINT FOR SURFACE MOUNTED APPLICATIONS
Surface mount board layout is a critical portion of the total
design. The footprint for the semiconductor packages must
be the correct size to ensure proper solder connection inter-
face between the board and the package. With the correct
pad geometry, the packages will self-align when subjected to
a solder reflow process.

SC-59 6 LEAD POWER DISSIPATION
The power dissipation of the SC-59 6 Lead is a function of
the pad size. This can vary from the minimum pad size for
soldering to a pad size given for maximum power dissipation.
Power dissipation for a surface mount device is determined
by TJ(max), the maximum rated junction temperature of the
die, RθJA, the thermal resistance from the device junction to
ambient, and the operating temperature, TA. Using the
values provided on the data sheet for the SC-59 6 Lead
package, PD can be calculated as follows:
PD = TJ(max) – TA
RθJA
The values for the equation are found in the maximum
ratings table on the data sheet. Substituting these values into
the equation for an ambient temperature T A of 25°C, one can
calculate the power dissipation of the device which in this
case is 225 milliwatts.
PD = 150°C – 25°C
556°C/W = 225 milliwatts
The 556°C/W for the SC-59 6 Lead package assumes the
use of the recommended footprint on a glass epoxy printed
circuit board to achieve a power dissipation of 225 milliwatts.
There are other alternatives to achieving higher power
dissipation from the SC-59 6 Lead package. Another alterna-
tive would be to use a ceramic substrate or an aluminum
core board such as Thermal Clad. Using a board material
such as Thermal Clad, an aluminum core board, the power
dissipation can be doubled using the same footprint.
SOLDER STENCIL GUIDELINES
Prior to placing surface mount components onto a printed
circuit board, solder paste must be applied to the pads.
Solder stencils are used to screen the optimum amount.
These stencils are typically 0.008 inches thick and may be
made of brass or stainless steel. For packages such as the
SC-59, SC-59 6 Lead, SC-70/SOT-323, SOD-123, SOT-23,
SOT-143, SOT-223, SO-8, SO-14, SO-16, and SMB/SMC
diode packages, the stencil opening should be the same as
the pad size or a 1:1 registration.
SOLDERING PRECAUTIONS
The melting temperature of solder is higher than the rated
temperature of the device. When the entire device is heated
to a high 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 mini-
mize 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.*
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
using infrared heating with the reflow soldering method,
the difference should be a maximum of 10°C.
* Soldering a device without preheating can cause excessive
thermal shock and stress which can result in damage to the
device.
MOTOROLA
6MMQA5V6T1 MMQA20VT1
The soldering temperature and time should not exceed
260°C for more than 10 seconds.
When shifting from preheating to soldering, the
maximum temperature gradient should be 5°C or less.
After soldering has been completed, the device should
be allowed to cool naturally for at least three minutes.
Gradual cooling should be used since the use of forced
cooling will increase the temperature gradient and will
result in latent failure due to mechanical stress.
Mechanical stress or shock should not be applied during
cooling.
TYPICAL SOLDER HEATING PROFILE
For any given circuit board, there will be a group of control
settings that will give the desired heat pattern. The operator
must set temperatures for several heating zones and a figure
for belt speed. Taken together, these control settings make
up a heating “profile” for that particular circuit board. On
machines controlled by a computer, the computer remem-
bers these profiles from one operating session to the next.
Figure 8 shows a typical heating profile for use when
soldering a surface mount device to a printed circuit board.
This profile will vary among soldering systems, but it is a
good starting point. Factors that can affect the profile include
the type of soldering system in use, density and types of
components on the board, type of solder used, and the type
of board or substrate material being used. This profile shows
temperature versus time. The line on the graph shows the
actual temperature that might be experienced on the surface
of a test board at or near a central solder joint. The two
profiles are based on a high density and a low density board.
The Vitronics SMD310 convection/infrared reflow soldering
system was used to generate this profile. The type of solder
used was 62/36/2 Tin Lead Silver with a melting point
between 177–189°C. When this type of furnace is used for
solder reflow work, the circuit boards and solder joints tend to
heat first. The components on the board are then heated by
conduction. The circuit board, because it has a large surface
area, absorbs the thermal energy more efficiently, then
distributes this energy to the components. Because of this
effect, the main body of a component may be up to 30
degrees cooler than the adjacent solder joints.
