Layout Considerations
The JRW power module series are low profile in order 
to be used in fine pitch system and architectures. As 
such, component clearances between the bottom of 
the power module and the mounting board are limited. 
Either avoid placing copper areas on the outer layer 
directly underneath the power module or maintain a 
minimum clearance through air of 0.028 inches 
between any two “opposite polarity” components, 
including copper traces under the module to 
components on the JRW module.. 
For modules with a “7” (case (heatplate) pin) and “-H” 
(heatplate) option: 
To meet Basic Insulation in the end product 1) 
between the input and output of the module, or 2) 
between the input and the earth ground, a series 
capacitor (capable of withstanding 1500V dc) needs 
to inserted between the case pin and the end 
termination point, if the case pin is connected to the 
input or the output of the JRW module or to earth 
ground. 
For additional layout guide-lines, refer to 
FLTR100V10 data sheet. 
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 Lineage Power Board 
Mounted Power Modules: Soldering and Cleaning 
Application Note (AP01-056EPS). 
Through-Hole Lead-Free Soldering 
Information 
The RoHS-compliant through-hole products use the 
SAC (Sn/Ag/Cu) Pb-free solder and RoHS-compliant 
components. They are designed to be processed 
through single or dual wave soldering machines. The 
pins have an RoHS-compliant finish that is compatible 
with both Pb and Pb-free wave soldering processes. 
A maximum preheat rate of 3
°C/s is suggested. The
wave preheat process should be such that the 
temperature of the power module board is kept below 
210
°C. For Pb solder, the recommended pot
temperature is 260
°C, while the Pb-free solder pot is
270
°C max. Not all RoHS-compliant through-hole
products can be processed with paste-through-hole 
Pb or Pb-free reflow process. If additional information 
is needed, please consult with your Lineage Power 
representative for more details.
