Precautions When Utilizing Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Components: Part 2
Attention should be paid when baking SMD components: Plastic tubes are unsuitable for direct oven placement; use metal trays instead. QFP trays vary in heat resistance; high-temp trays are oven-safe. Handle SMT components with care, using anti-static wrist straps and suction pens to prevent damage. Store leftover SMD components properly. Contact WellCircuits Limited for assistance.
