I am wondering how easy it is to damage a MOSFET (let's use IRF260N for this example) during soldering.
The datasheet calls for no more than 10 seconds at 1.6 mm from the body of the device.
So let's say you go 11 seconds at 310....what can that cause?
Is it more likely to cause a change in the chip function or more likely to cause failure immediately?
I ask because I am not certain, but it seems the temperature of my new MOSFET is running too hot and I'm wondering if it could be because I overheated it during soldering.
So in essence, proper soldering technique and keeping IC's appropriately cool during solder can affect the way they operate (their operating efficiency for example)?
Thanks
