Good Afternoon,
I know that most of the answers I get for this are going to be along the lines of "it's up to you" and I realize that.
But, I was wondering what the most common type of profile that is used in your shop and why? Is it the older "Soak Profile" or do you use a "Straight Ramp" or "Tent" type profile? How about for the different types of pastes (Water-soluble, no-clean, lead-free)?
The reason for this is that I've found several resources that state a "tent" profile is preferred for water-soluble pastes, yet when I look at the guidelines for the a component (example: Multi-layered chip cap), they recommend a "soak profile."
So, what's everyone using and why?
Thanks.
