9.5 Solder Reflow Profile
The FT230X is supplied in Pb free 16 LD SSOP and QFN-16 packages. The recommended solder reflow
profile for both package options is shown in Figure 9.5.

Figure 9.5 FT230X Solder Reflow Profile
The recommended values for the solder reflow profile are detailed in Table 9.1. Values are shown for both
a completely Pb free solder process (i.e. the FT230X is used with Pb free solder), and for a non-Pb free
solder process (i.e. the FT230X is used with non-Pb free solder).
