Transplant to garden

What are the guidelines for when to put a tomato transplant into the soil?

I know for many plants, there's a soil temp range that is most conducive toward growing, below that range, the plant won't necessarily die, but it may stunt growth. I know that for tomatoes, if you hit a freeze, you'll likely kill your transplants, but that's the extent of what I've picked up.

Any idea of the success and optimal growth for transplants is more about air temp, soil temp, etc?

[ I feel like this has to have been asked before, but I can't find it in searches. ]
