Figure 19. Pick and Place Location.
Z Plane Height
The ‘Z’ plane height of the pick and place location is 7.50mm
nominal with an RSS tolerance of +/-0.25 mm.
Nozzle Recommendations
The module weight has been kept to a minimum by using open
frame construction. Even so, they have a relatively large mass
when compared with conventional SMT components.
Variables such as nozzle size, tip style, vacuum pressure and
placement speed should be considered to optimize this
process.
The minimum recommended nozzle diameter for reliable
operation is 5mm. The maximum nozzle outer diameter, which
will safely fit within the allowable component spacing, is
6.5mm.
Oblong or oval nozzles up to 11 x 6 mm may also be used
within the space available.

Sales Representative.
Reflow Soldering Information
These power modules are large mass, low thermal
resistance devices and typically heat up slower than other
SMT components. It is recommended that the customer
review data sheets in order to customize the solder reflow
profile for each application board assembly.
The following instructions must be observed when SMT
soldering these units. Failure to observe these instructions
may result in the failure of or cause damage to the modules,
and can adversely affect long-term reliability.
There are several types of SMT reflow technologies currently
used in the industry. These surface mount power modules
can be reliably soldered using natural forced convection, IR
(radiant infrared), or a combination of convection/IR. The
recommended linear reflow profile using Sn/Pb solder is
shown in Figure 20 and 21. For reliable soldering the solder
reflow profile should be established by accurately
measuring the modules CP connector temperatures.

Lead Free Soldering
The –Z version SMT modules of the SHHD series are lead-free
(Pb-free) and RoHS compliant and are compatible in a Pb-free
soldering process. Failure to observe the instructions below
may result in the failure of or cause damage to the modules
and can adversely affect long-term reliability.
