The current version is (released January 2025), which expands beyond reflow and wave soldering to include vapor phase, laser, and selective soldering processes. Core Stages of a Thermal Profile

: The duration the solder remains in a liquid state. IPC-7530

: Equalizing temperatures across the entire board and allowing the flux to activate and clean the surfaces. The current version is (released January 2025), which

: The stage where the temperature exceeds the solder's liquidus point to form the joint. : The stage where the temperature exceeds the

, officially titled Guidelines for Temperature Profiling for Mass Soldering Processes , is the industry standard for creating and managing thermal profiles in electronics manufacturing. It ensures that all solder joints reach the necessary temperatures for metallurgical bonding without damaging heat-sensitive components.

: Usually 20°C to 40°C above the solder's melting point.
