Through-Hole Lead-Free Soldering
Information
The RoHS-compliant, Z version, through-hole products use
the SAC (Sn/Ag/Cu) Pb-free solder and RoHS-compliant
components. The non-Z version products use lead-tin
(Pb/Sn) solder and RoHS-compliant components. Both
version modules are designed to be processed through
single or dual wave soldering machines. The pins have an
RoHS-compliant, pure tin 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 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.
Reflow Lead-Free Soldering Information
The RoHS-compliant through-hole products can be
processed with the following paste-through-hole Pb or Pb-
free reflow process.
Max. sustain temperature :
245
C (J-STD-020C Table 4-2: Packaging
Thickness>=2.5

/ Volume > 2000

),
Peak temperature over 245
C is not suggested due to the
potential reliability risk of components under continuous
high-temperature.
Min. sustain duration above 217
C : 90 seconds

In compliance with JEDEC J-STD-020C spec for 2 times
reflow requirement.
Pb-free Reflow Profile
BMP module 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. BMP will comply with JEDEC J-STD-020C
specification for 3 times reflow requirement. The suggested
Pb-free solder paste is Sn/Ag/Cu (SAC). The
recommended linear reflow profile using Sn/Ag/Cu solder is
shown in Figure 23.

Sn/Ag/Cu solder.
MSL Rating
The EBVW017A0S14R0 modules have a MSL rating of 2a.
Storage and Handling
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-
025A). The shelf life for dry packed SMT packages will be
a minimum of 12 months from the bag seal date, when
stored at the following conditions: < 40° C, < 90% relative
humidity.
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:
