Jason, What Chrys said! Don't try to run the bottom cooler, tried it in the mid 80's, don't work and don't want it to work. If one side of a fab is maintained cooler than liquidus and the other side into reflow it would have an easy 40C temp diffe

Jason, Double sided reflow should be no problem. People have been doing it for years. The surface tension of the molten solder will hold the components on the bottom side during your second pass. This is almost always the case, unless you have re

Hi! What exatly you do? Do you reflow the both sides of the board at the same time or you reflow your second side? I think in both cases you should decrease you bottom zones. If you reflow both sides - with 10-20C(F) If you reflow the second side - w

The bottom side is going into reflow somewhare near melting point of solder. Reduce bottom side temprature. Get a good mole so ramp and soak tempratures can be checked on bolth sides of the PCB. The object is to keep bottom side parts from approching

After 2nd time reflow of double reflow, wrinkles solder joints found on SOIC and SOT components.(only happen on the components at the underside of pcb during reflow, top side components dont have this problem) is this due to the reflow process proble

The formula is a great help, where was it 20 years ago? LOL After running a few thousand different products over the years, you start to get a feel for what is going to be trouble with regards to falling off the bottomside during the secondary refl

There is a formula that determines whether a component will fall off during a 2nd reflow. It takes into account the grams (weight) of the component and the total surface area of the solder joints. I don't know this off the top of my head, but it's

High temp paste or not, I feel it's all up to the oven,and/or the stencil design. are there sufficient solder joints, before running the opposite side (are the apertures large enough to achieve a hardy fillet or to small, allowing enough paste to vis

Hi , I have not been able to find any good description on how to perform double sided reflow on PCBs.The best would of course be to avoid reflowing the bottom side again but in real life this is not possible. So when double sided reflow soldering
