Hi, Yes, I would hate to resort to cleaning, but the product must be clean. We have been using palettes to keep most of the flux off the PCB, but there is still residue around the connectors. Does anyone suggest a good no clean flux to use with le

Does the t/c read the actual skyrocketing temperature (you could confirm with a profiler if you wanted to leave it running while it's setting itself on fire) or something much lower than reality, driving the heaters harder? I would probably start sw

I have used the ECD MOLE and had no complaints. I also checked out a Datapaq at one time and really liked the software but it was a little on the spendy side. ECD provides free upgrades to their software which does provide some fairly helpful pred

Steve, KIC does. The new KIC2000 has built in dwell time sensors. You can buy KIC's wavesurfer option (like MOLE's waverider), or you can engineer a custom pallet for 1/3 the price. I made a custom pallet and took advantage of the KIC's automatic

Assuming the following: L=Process Length of the oven t=Desired profile time in mins(depends on the paste/glue used) l=PCB length l1=gap between consecutive PCBs Then the total no. of PCBs per hour is" (L*60/t)/(l+l1) Vinit

The pad size is okay. I have also requested the manufacturer's recommend reflow profile. I have seen some issues with 0402 caps that we run also but for the most part solder paste does okay. I think the cap issues is stencil related. Still trying to

Check with your paste manufacturer for a recommended baseling. The paste manufacturers generally have a database by oven that gives optimal performance for their paste. It's only a baseline, and does need to be adjusted based on the thermal foot pr

Did you try pre-tinning your board on this suspect pad/s to see if it improved wetting/solderability prior to printing/SMT placement and reflow? Does the pad/s not soldering tie to a ground layer? I would connect a T/C to each pad of the same part an

Hello, We are looking for a lab and low volume reflow oven. I believe we want an IR/forced air combination oven? Nitrogen gas inlet would be good. Would like many adjustable temp profile segments. We saw the Manncorp T200N on their website. Is

I recently inherited an APS GF-12HC reflow oven, which requires a password in order to access the profiles & run the machine. The individuals that operated the unit are no longer with the company and nobody else seems to know the password. Does anyon
