Is this harmful to the chip?... baking it at 375?

Use a credit card or other such plastic card to squeegee the paste through the holes and onto the pads. Carefully lift the aluminum sheet off the PCB. Place the chip on top of the solderpasted pads. Place the PCB into a cold toaster oven. Set the temperature to 375°F and bake for about 5-7 minutes. Turn toaster oven off, open door, allow to cool to room temperature before removing. Presto! One soldered SOIC! ![]() |
