Hello We use a 5 zone conceptronics HVN70 and never before have we had something we could not do including 6 layers Rohs complicated boards. Recently we had a larger - simple 2 layer board - all 1206's etc however there are 15 pcs of a LARGE high m

First things first. Check the manufactures specs on the electrolytic caps as they may not be able to handle the lead free temps.

You must thermally profile your circuit boards with a data-logger and thermocouples. Just putting in oven set points and looking at solder joints is not enough. Reference IPC-7530

Get in touch with your paste manufacturer. They should have a data base of different oven types/zones, and can give you "baseline" settings for a medium thermal density board that has been proven to work well with their paste. After that, it sounds

The 300 degrees is the temperature as measured at the sensor. The actual air temperature just above your PCB may actually be much less. If the oven is properly calibrated then the 300 should represent air temperature at the board but I have seen ma

Hello, yes you are absolutely correct. I agree with your point. Last week,I personally checked out my board on Heller 1088 which is a 8 zone reflow oven (4 on top and 4 on bottom) and the soldering came pretty nice. So comparing with that situation

Hello ! I have a vitronics 500s ( five zones), and the solder paste is ALPHA OM-338-PT lead free. have anyone a profile to start and test, i need some reference temperatures.and conveyor speed thanks !!!

Lead Free in 5 zones is tough sledding. Start with your manufacturers solder reflow profile and calculate your belt speed by looking at the recommended heating time for the solder paste vs. the length of your heated zones. Set your belt speed so tha

We have been having problems with proper wetting when running mainly lead free but also leaded solder in our Ersa Hotflow 3. Solder either often looks grainy or doesn't flow over the whole pad. This is generally the case when my profile is 170 firs

Hi all, I will be looking into ovens shortly for our conversion to lead free. I hear and understand why our Heller 1088 oven wont make the cut for lead free (4 zones isnt enough). Can anyone recommend a good mid range oven? We have been very happy
