Pb-free Reflow Profile
Power Systems will comply with J-STD-015 Rev. D
(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 Figure 26.

Sn/Ag/Cu solder.
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 GE Board
Mounted Power Modules: Soldering and Cleaning Application
Note (AN04-001).
