The document describes manufacturing solder process limits that components subjected to IPS-9501, IPC-9504 and J-STD-020 would survive. Optimum conditions for assembly are not included, but rather guides to assure components are not damaged. The document applies to both surface-mount (SM) and through-hole (TH) components that are wave soldered, reflowed or hand soldered. The document is intended to complement other industry documents. Note: It does not address the increased temperature of lead-free solders.
