Hi, How has it worked for you with small parts such as 0402, and are you using these size parts, and getting any tomb-stoning problems? We used lead paster with our vapor phase, while lead free should have less surface tension, so I have always won

We have recently started up a vapor phase machine and no body can tell me what an ideal profile should look like. I preheat the board about 10 degrees lower than the melting point of the solder paste. The joints look great! Just have no documentation

When faced with high mass, high cost, sensitive PCBs and now with the added challenges of Pb-Free Vapor Phase is the only safe reflow method for component and joint integrity. A-Tek is the National Distributor for Asscon Vapor phase reflow. Asscon

There are some issues with the chemical used in Vapor phaze. I think your best bet would be some one who will take it and accept liability.

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.

Thanks Josh for your kind advice. Yes, we have some contacts of Rehm vapor system.However, we didn't know about cost of galden what you mentioned.It is a good point and has been kept as a note and Electrolytics in Vapor phase,too. Hope you can share

We are looking at getting a new inline SMT reflow oven and I have been shown a new vapour phase oven made by ASSCON. It looks very good - just want to know if any one has used one before and can comment. Thanks

Hi, Vapor phase is an incredibly process, apart from the tombstoning, that we just could never eliminate. So we had to dump it and go with convection. It's a shame, as the solder joints were incredible! Regards, Grant

Thanks to Scott for your reply, much appreciated. Are you aware of any new developments in this area? Particularly in respect to the solvents? We are aware that fluorine chemistry is now in-use with amazingly high boiling points. We understand that

Vapor Phase, Nitrogen Oven, Convective Oven? Which among the above 3 ovens do I need to process my BGA's and Fine pitch on a 6 to 12 layer board. Which will give me best results? Inert type oven or just a convective oven? Another thing is what will
