Post Solder Cleaning and Drying
Considerations
Post solder cleaning is usually the final circuit-board
assembly process prior to electrical board testing. The
result of inadequate cleaning and drying can affect
both the reliability of a power module and the
testability of the finished circuit-board assembly. For
guidance on appropriate soldering, cleaning and
drying procedures, refer to Lineage Power Board
Mounted Power Modules: Soldering and Cleaning
Application Note (AN04-001).

The –Z version of the EQW006 modules are lead-free
(Pb-free) and RoHS compliant and are both forward
and backward compatible in a Pb-free and a SnPb
soldering process. Failure to observe the instructions
below may result in the failure of or cause damage to
the modules and can adversely affect long-term
reliability.

Pb-free Reflow Profile
Reflow Time (Seconds)
Figure 20. Recommended linear reflow profile
using Sn/Ag/Cu solder.
Power Systems will comply with J-STD-020 Rev. C
(Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity Classification for
Nonhermetic Solid State Surface Mount Devices) for
both Pb-free solder profiles and MSL classification
procedures. This standard provides a recommended
forced-air-convection reflow profile based on the
volume and thickness of the package (table 4-2). The
suggested Pb-free solder paste is Sn/Ag/Cu (SAC).
The recommended linear reflow profile using
Sn/Ag/Cu solder is shown in Fig. 20.
Through-Hole Lead-Free Soldering
Information
The RoHS-compliant through-hole products use the
SAC (Sn/Ag/Cu) Pb-free solder and RoHS-compliant
components. They are designed to be processed
through single or dual wave soldering machines. The
pins have an RoHS-compliant finish that is compatible
with both Pb and Pb-free wave soldering processes.
A maximum preheat rate of 3°C/s is suggested. The
wave preheat process should be such that the
temperature of the power module board is kept below
210°C. For Pb solder, the recommended pot
MSL Rating
The EQW006 modules have a MSL rating of 2.
Storage and Handling
temperature is 260°C, while the Pb-free solder pot is
270°C max. Not all RoHS-compliant through-hole
products can be processed with paste-through-hole
Pb or Pb-free reflow process. If additional information
is needed, please consult with your Lineage Power
representative for more details.
The recommended storage environment and handling
procedures for moisture-sensitive surface mount
packages is detailed in J-STD-033 Rev. A (Handling,
Packing, Shipping and Use of Moisture/Reflow
Sensitive Surface Mount Devices). Moisture barrier
bags (MBB) with desiccant are required for MSL
ratings of 2 or greater. These sealed packages
should not be broken until time of use. Once the
original package is broken, the floor life of the product
at conditions of ≤ 30°C and 60% relative humidity
varies according to the MSL rating (see J-STD-033A).
