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

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

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

I don't have one, but a lot of ovens of this vintage are on the market because they DO NOT cope well with lead free processes. There is one of these on eBay right now and it even says ROHS is right at the limit of what it can just about manage so thi

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

On some of our boards we cut the clinched leads with an old Q Corp cutter. Works fine as long as the blade is sharp and the lead isnt bent against the board. Youll know when you go to far on the clinch because the mass lead cutter will begin to start

We have a board that requires a .015 - .035" finished lead length which requires us to do mass lead trimming. To this point we've performed this activity on parts with straight leads. We're looking at going to an axial auto-insertion process (outso

It is possible to vary the length of lead during auto insert. However, it requires software and mechanical adjustments. Universal equipment allows small changes via software program for lead length. To change angle of clinch involves a mechanical a
