Surface mounting technology - Part 3: Standard method for the specification of components for through hole reflow (THR) soldering

This part of IEC 61760 gives a reference set of requirements, process conditions and related
test conditions to be used when compiling specifications of electronic components that are
intended for usage in through-hole reflow soldering technology.
The object of this document is to ensure that components with leads intended for through-hole
reflow and surface mounting components can be subjected to the same placement and
mounting processes. Hereto, this document defines test and requirements that need to be part
of any component generic, sectional or detail specification, when through-hole reflow soldering
is intended.
Furthermore, this document provides component users and manufacturers with a reference set
of typical process conditions used in through-hole reflow soldering technology.

Oberflächenmontagetechnik - Teil 3: Genormtes Verfahren zur Spezifizierung von Durchsteckmontage-Bauelementen für das Aufschmelzlöten (THR)

Technique du montage en surface - Partie 3 : Méthode normalisée relative à la spécification des composants pour le brasage par refusion à trous traversants (THR, Through Hole Reflow)

L’IEC 61760-3:2021 fournit un référentiel d’exigences et définit les conditions de procédé ainsi que les conditions d’essai correspondantes à utiliser pour élaborer les spécifications des composants électroniques destinés à être employés avec la technique du brasage par refusion à trous traversants (THR).
L’objet du présent document est de s’assurer que les composants équipés de sorties destinées à la THR et les composants pour montage en surface peuvent être soumis aux mêmes procédés de placement et de montage. Ici, le présent document définit les essais et les exigences faisant nécessairement partie de toute spécification générique, intermédiaire ou particulière de composant, lorsqu’il s’agit de brasage par refusion à trous traversants.
De plus, le présent document fournit aux utilisateurs de composants et à leurs fabricants un référentiel des conditions de procédés typiques utilisées dans le cadre de la technologie du brasage par refusion à trous traversants.
Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) modification de l’exigence relative à la tolérance de position (0,4 mm au maximum et entre 0,2 mm et 0,4 mm);
b) introduction de la méthode du trou traversant vide comme méthode d’application de pâte à braser.

SURFACE MOUNTING TECHNOLOGY –

Part 3: Standard method for the specification of
components for through-hole reflow (THR) soldering

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 61760-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 91: Electronics assembly
technology. It is an International Standard.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2010. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) change position tolerance requirement (0,4 mm maximum to between 0,2 mm and 0,4 mm);
b) introduce through-hole vacant method as a solder paste supply method.
