Assembling RO4350B PCBs

Assembly planning must account for the full board and component system: finish, copper distribution, moisture exposure, thermal mass, package limits and mechanical support. Laminate Tg alone does not define the reflow profile.

ENGINEERING ANSWER

Assembly planning must account for the full board and component system: finish, copper distribution, moisture exposure, thermal mass, package limits and mechanical support. Laminate Tg alone does not define the reflow profile.

What to decide before release

Use a measured profile on a representative assembly. Confirm whether any exposed RF traces, connectors or sensitive components need special handling. Keep the fabrication and assembly revisions synchronized.

Checks to put in your design brief

  • Approve a measured thermal profile
  • Check component and connector limits
  • Inspect RF interfaces after assembly

Important distinction

Do not translate a decomposition-temperature value into a soldering set point.

Turn this into a design decision

Record your selected construction, the assumptions that affect this topic, and the evidence needed before release. Use the engineering workbench to prepare a preliminary calculation, then discuss the exact stackup and acceptance requirements with the fabricator.
