LM393A: Solder Heat Resistance of DIP package

Part Number: LM393A

Hi all,

My customer would like to know solder heat resistance of DIP package.

I found the solder profile application report, but there is no mention of preheating or peak temperature.

Recommended Soldering Profiles (Rev. J) (ti.com)

Isn't there a report with flow conditions like SMT package? (see below)

Wave Solder Exposure of SMT Packages (ti.com)

I would appreciate it if you could tell me.

Best Regards,

Ryusuke

  • Hello Ryusuke,

    Are they using Wave Solder or IR? I will assume Wave for a DIP package.

    TI follows the JEDEC J-STD-002 standard.

    Internally, this is what we are told to say:

    "At the present time there is not a JEDEC industry standard for recommended soldering profile for through-hole (DIP) packages. TI does perform a Solder Heat test in which the leads of the DIP devices are subjected to 260C solder for 10 seconds to ensure that they can withstand the heat of molten solder."

  • Hi Paul.

    They use wave solder in their DIP package.

    My customer's solder requirements are as follows.

    1) Preheating 120~140°C/60 to 90 seconds

    2) Peak temperature up to 250°C/6 seconds

    I could not find the JEDEC J-STD-002 documentation you showed me.

    I'm sorry, but could you tell me where the soldering requirements for DIP package are listed?

    Best Regards,

    Ryusuke

  • Hello Ryusuke,

    All solder profile questions from customers should be referred to JSTD-020. Current rev is D. Unfortunately, I cannot provide the JEDEC document as this is a "paid-for" document and cannot be shared outside TI.

    Contrary to popular misunderstanding there is no “reflow profile” for a specific package. There are moisture classification restrictions for peak temperatures and time/temperature targets, all are defined in JDSTD-020.

    With that said, PDIP does not have a MSL rating, just a peak temperature (260C). Best to cautiously follow the JSTD for low MSL rating. There are several variables, so we cannot give a single number. The PCB manufacturer should be able to make the adjustments depending on their flow (hopefully they have a copy of the spec).
