Recommended soldering conditions

Solder Profile and Pattern
1) Dip Types (LA, LB ,LAP,LBP series)
Please keep the preheat and peak temperatures with dip units as low as possible and the times as short as
is feasible, since the products are susceptible to heat during flow soldering. As a guide, ensure that the
internal temperature of the LED numeric display does not exceed 100°C.

A single wave is better than a double wave, while
stationary flow method is the best.
