Hello all, Is there a specification to address the soldering maximum temperature and time for an active leaded component? The assembly technique would be either hand soldering or through-hole wave soldering. I've seen temperatures from 245 to 315 C and times from 5 to 15 seconds listed by others. So far, the only spec. I found with reference to temperature and time is Mil-Std-883, Method 2003. However, it only addresses solderability of the leads, not functionality. Thanks for your input.
