... "The specific
parameters chosen were based upon IPC/JEDEC
J-STD-020C Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity
Classification for Non-hermetic Solid
State Surface Mount Devices (see Fig 1).
The peak temperatures chosen were +235degC
& +260degC. These temperatures were based
upon the minimum recommended reflow
temperature for tin/silver/copper (SAC)
solder alloys and the maximum expected
peak temperature detailed by JSTD-020C"
