Rinse with alcohol. Allow the circuit to fully dry. • TriQuint recommends using a conductive solder paste for attachment. Follow solder paste and reflow oven vendors’ recommendations when developing a solder reflow profile. Typical solder reflow profiles are listed in the table below. • Hand soldering is not recommended. Solder paste can be applied using a stencil printer or dot placement. The volume of solder paste depends on PCB and component layout and should be well controlled to ensure consistent mechanical and electrical performance. • Clean the assembly with alcohol.
