Hi All, We're looking to replace one of our reflow ovens. I'm hoping that someone out there can give me a list of pros and cons of vapor phase vs convection for production reflow. Thanks, Shannon

Should contact Rehm Thermal they have a whitepaper on pros and cons of Vapor Phase vs Convection.... Vapor phase traditionally targeted heavy PCB, large mass products better then lighter ones, due to ramp rate control being harder to attain vs say a

Have you considered to use Vapor Phase Reflow(Condensation) ? Regards GS

Years ago we had a vapor phase with a glass top. Wish I'd had a phone cam to record some of those moments. Very cool to watch those perfect, shiny leaded fillets form in the cloud of Fluorinert vapor.

A huge help in the very first statement, Josh. And yes, fixed vapor mass in the machine I am currently evaluating. OK, and a machine that can change the vapor volume based on a calculation of mass of the assembly sounds logical. (whirrrr,click... a

Hi, We have a client requiring us to use a Vapor Phase Reflow Oven instead of our convection oven, the new PCB design will be ~9.3mm thick with some SMD & Pressfit connectors, does the PCB thick could be the cause of they requiring us the Vapor Phase

Hi, We have both Vapor Phase ASSCON semi auto as well as Soltec convection inline ovens. I must say we had no end of problems with Vapor Phase. We tried everything, and just could not totally eliminate tomb-stoning completely. We would always get a
