{The833°CM for the SOT–363 package assumes the use
ofthe recommended footprint on aglass epoxy printed circuit
board to achieve apower dissipation of 150 milliwatts. There
are other alternatives to achieving higher power dissipation
from the SOT–363 package. Another alternative would be to
use aceramic substrate or an aluminum core board such as
Thermal Clad’”. Using aboard material such as Thermal
Clad, an aluminum core board, the power dissipation can be
doubled using the same footprint.

The melting temperature of solder is higher than the rated
temperature of the device. When the entire device is heated
to ahigh temperature, failure to complete soldering within a
short time could result in device failure. Therefore, the
following items should always be observed in order to
minimize the thermal stress to which the devices are
subjected.

☛
Always preheat the device.
The delta temperature between the preheat and soldering
should be 10O°C or less.*
When preheating and soldering, the temperature of the
leads and the case must not exceed the maximum
temperature ratings as shown on the data sheet. When
using infrared heating with the reflow soldering method,
the difference shall be amaximum of 10°C.
The soldering temperature and time shall not exceed
260°C for more than 10 seconds.
When shiting from preheating to soldering, the maximum
temperature gradient shall be 5°C or less.
After soldering has been completed, the device should be
allowed to cool naturally for at least three minutes.
Gradual cooling should be used as the use of forced
cooling will increase the temperature gradient and result
in latent failure due to mechanical stress.
Mechanical stress or shock should not be applied during
cooling.
Soldering adevice without preheating can cause excessive
thermal sh;ck and stress which can result in damage to the
device.
