Advance Data Sheet: iCF Series – Non-isolated SMT Power Module
Soldering Information:
iCF surface mountable power modules are intended to be compatible with standard surface mount component
soldering processes and either hand placed or automatically picked and placed. The figure below shows the position
for vacuum pick up. The maximum weight of the power module is 3g (0.106 oz.). Improper handling or cleaning
processes can adversely affect the appearance, testability, and reliability of the power modules. The iCF product is a
moisture sensitivity level 2 device. Contact TDK Innoveta technical support for guidance regarding proper handling,
cleaning, and soldering of TDK Innoveta’s power modules.
Reflow Soldering
The iCF platform is an open frame power module manufactured with SMT (surface mount technology). Due to the high
thermal mass of the power module and sensitivity to heat of some SMT components, extra caution should be taken
when reflow soldering. Failure to follow the reflow soldering guidelines described below may result in permanent
damage and/or affect performance of the power modules.
The iCF power modules can be soldered using natural convection, forced convection, IR (radiant infrared), and
convection/IR reflow technologies. The module should be thermally characterized in its application to develop a
temperature profile. Thermal couples should be mounted to terminal 3 and terminal 6 and be monitored. The
temperatures should be maintained below 260 degrees. Oven temperature and conveyer belt speeds should be
controlled to ensure these limits are not exceeded. In most manufacturing processes, the solder paste required to form
a reliable connection can be applied with a standard 6 mil stencil.
