I have 5 year old plastic SOIC packages on reels and want to dry them out in
an oven rather than leave it to the pre-heat of the reflow solder machine.
Production asked for temperature and time for the SOIC to be in the oven.
My initial thoughts are to put them in a cold oven and set the thermostat to
110'C and leave them baking for 4 hours. Then turn off the oven. Remove them
when cool and use in the insertion machines the next day.
Is the temperature and time suitable?

The leads have passed a solderability test already, would the time in the
oven have a significant effect on solderabitiy?
