Product Specification Series: MEC6 0,635mm (.025”) Mini Edge Card Connector, Vertical 7.2 Mating Angle Requirements: 7.2.1 7.2.2 7.3 Maximum Reflow Passes: The parts can withstand three reflow passes at a maximum oven temperature of 260°C. 7.4 Stencil Thickness: The stencil thickness is .006” (0,15 mm). 7.5 Placement: Machine placement of the parts is strongly recommended. 7.6 Thermal Profile: Due to the large number of processing variables (printed wiring board design, reflow oven type, component quantity, solder paste type, etc.), Samtec does not provide specific reflow profiles for any connector. We recommend that the solder paste manufacturer’s guidelines be followed for optimum soldering results. 7.7 Reflow Environment: Samtec recommends the use of a low level oxygen environment (typically achieved through Nitrogen gas infusion) in the reflow process to improve solderability.
