Maximum operating temp is generally 130 C for most /21 materials.  At this temp the board an continuously operate and function electrically and mechanically as designed.  Beyond this performance can become flakey.

Subject: [TN] storage temperature of assembled pcbs

Hi,

 

How can we determine the storage temperature of an assembled pcb? 

 

What is the minimum temperature value which a laminate material (fr4 – tg 135˚C ) can tolerate without experiencing any distortion on its construction? 

 

Best Regards

 

Have a good day?
