We just use stare titanium stiffeners from the wave soldering area. Titanium is probably over-kill for your needs, but will work. Sources for titanium stiffeners are: * APT 603.622.1211 Tom Dimagio * New Era Technology 603.669.77971 Jessie Ward * B

We will look at the oven speed. We considered stiffeners but opted against that due to the risk of moving parts pre-reflow due to handling. 90 deg? I don't know. This may or may not help with the bowing. Considering there is little to no substra

if you can't change the PCB materials or design at this point, you might be able to reduce it somewhat through the use of fixtures or edge stiffeners. Unless it is a particularly thick board, I don't think the reflow profile would be the issue. The t

I used to have the same issue with reed switches on one product we ran. Same oven too. We ended up rigging up an "umbrella" with two titanium stiffeners and bare PCB as the roof. It was hokey but it worked.

A reflow oven with Center rail support can help. If your volumes are too low to justify spending $$ on a proper carrier, titanium stiffeners applied to the PCB before it goes into reflow is a cheap, albeit manual solution.

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

We run stiffeners on all of our product through our wave solder process and most of our product through our reflow and adhesive cure oven. The problem is we continually put on and take off stiffeners because of poor reliability of stiffeners staying
