Not sure it's always a great route as the smaller ovens are going to struggle to get a perfect profile for a consistent result, especially on bigger boards with higher layer counts and mixed technology. You may want to take a quick look at a batch va

CAL's word of caution is right on. We tend to stay in the 220C-225C max. temp. on our profiles, and that's because the last heads up from engineering came on a part with a spec. of 230C max. temp. We just found out that one of our old SOIC's is spe

We run double sided surface mount boards through our Heller oven without any parts falling off the bottom side unless they are too big/heavy. The trick we use is to set the bottom side temperature in the final 3 heat zones 10C-20C lower than the top

davef As for the repair : - with hot air blower it is not possible (you can melt, but it will not wet) - with standard iron - no problem to repair (no additional material is needed) isd.jwendell yes, the profile is checked on those places (same si

Its not the max temperature that is the issue, its how much energy the oven is capable of transferring to the PCB inside the 4-6 minute window of a typical profile. In a conveyor oven this is achieved by having zones of different temperatures, but th

You can try putting titanium stiffeners on the PCB to prevent it from warping. How thick is your stencil? More paste would give you a wider window however too much and you risk bridging. You could try over printing the pad at the heel and toe to get

DaveF is correct in saying that TAL is not the best metric to use in reflow soldering. That is why paste manufacturers give such a wide range; typically 30 to 120 seconds. The peak temperature is more important, especially in the mixed Pb and Pb-F

Hello, since some days we are facing strange problem with SMT component reflow paste on one side of the component is reflowed correctly while the other side is 10%-70% non-reflowed (same component on 3 positions per module, alwyas the same land pad)
