The MAX. Component temperature is dependent upon the component 
specification and should be available from the supplier specs.

A typical FR4 PCB is capable of continuously operating at 60-70 deg. C in 
a product. All applications should be designed to stay well below Tg 
temperature of the board material in use.

The PCB can withstand the reflow temperature, 200 - 240 deg. C for a 
short duration which is the reflow cycle of 1.5-2.5 minute. If fumes are 
comming off the FR4 PCB, the temperature is too hot and the epoxy will be 
breaking down and will cause reliability issues in the field.
