Abstract

A process of utilizing heat-shielding microcapsules to protect a temperature sensitive component includes applying a shielding layer including heat-shielding microcapsules to a temperature sensitive component disposed on a surface of a printed circuit board. The process also includes performing a processing operation on the printed circuit board according to a set of process parameters. The set of process parameters specify a particular period of time (t) that a processing temperature (T) is to be maintained in excess of a liquidous temperature (T) for solder reflow. During the processing operation, the heat-shielding microcapsules absorb heat to reduce a time above liquidous (TAL) of the temperature sensitive component.
