We use the same profiler for convection and VP. For VP you just have to be very careful as the thermocouple wires must travel through the machine so cannot get "snagged" on anything as they go in or come out.

Ray Prasad says ... Information about thermocouples and various types of profilers are available from the following sources: • ECD ¾ profilers and thermocouples; (503) 659-6100 or http://www.ecd.com. • KIC ¾ profilers; (858) 673-6050 or http://www.ki

Quick question for all you SMT Experts... Where do you buy your thermocouples for Reflow Profiling?

Try: * Searching the fine SMTnet Archives. We have ground profiling, thermocouple attach, etc. to pulps. * Buying [ http://www.ipc.org ] IPC-7530 - Guidelines for Temperature Profiling for Mass Soldering (Reflow and Wave)

Doesn't make sense. Either your: * Oven is not operting properly [attach your profiler thermocouple to the baffle of each zone with a screw to check] ... OR * Conveyor speed is too high ... OR * Profiler is defective

Which among the two profiling method is more reliable/accurate in getting the oven thermal profile? a) using a HIGH-TEMP solder wire then soldering the thermocouples onto the profile points of the board (e.g. component lead etc.) b) not soldering t

We are using KIC (kicthermal.com) in reflow profiling. It uses thermocouple wires about 0.5 meter only each point. Previously, Winkic the machine built in software which requires about 5 meters wire. No need for the operator to stand there and feed t

You should definitely profile your new BGA containing PCB with a real profiler with attached thermocouples. I would actually drill a hole under the BGA and put a thermocouple there.BGAs usually require longer profiles with longer soaks zone.....and s

Kester makes a thermocouple solder: Alloy SN10PB88AG2 Flux "44" Core 58 Diam 0.031" I have used this to solder thermocouples to pcbs when profiling for lead-free temperatures. When done you can unsolder the thermocouple and reuse it again. This g

Q1: What are the basic requirements of thermal profiling? A1: Not sure what you�re looking for here, but when doing a profile, you�re trying to measure the temperature at specific points of the board, as the board moves through the oven. Q2: How we
