We have been using nitrogen in our reflow ovens for many years to reduce oxidation on our solder joints. Management is concerned about the high cost of nitrogen and have suggested we use hydrogen instead. I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but we

Hi, This would be a very exciting idea. Nitrogen is an inert gas, so this is why it's used, however Hydrogen mixed with oxygen in normal air is highly explosive, so it would be one of the worst gasses to use in a reflow oven I would think. Remember

Im not an expert at this, but im going to have to agree with blnorman. I wouldn't use Hydrogen, its very explosive. I would look into a considering a new oven to cut back on cost. Yes you will have to put out the money for a new unit, but if it reduc

call me picky but doesn't hydrogen combust? maybe soemthing you could do is look at your process and your products and decide if you actually need to run in N2. Yes ok I can hear the crys now but seriously, for the vast majority of things if you have

We just use scrap PCBs for Oven carriers. You could probably contact your board house and as for just sheets of FR4 to use. I've also used a binder clip at each corner to lift a board off of the mesh belt in a pinch.

As you know there will be a lot of residues(such as rosin) left especialy on the peak zone and cooling zone of reflow oven after reflow soldering in a time. who use one kind of effective liquor or effective method to clean the residues ?

Hello! Don, I heard from SMT factory that the fixture for oven they use is durostone material, I don't if durostone is correct name translated, it is synthetic stone made of carbon fiber sheet. Best Regards Clare PCB Connect China

I use BioAct SC-10 and it seems to work pretty well. The best bet is to contact your solder paste manufacturer and ask them for a recommended cleaning solvent for the flux residues... Regards, Justin

Makes us wonder how well the connections on the > component match with the pads on the board. The pads are actually larger than the leads on the part, but I think we may have figured it out. We believe the conveyor vibration is causing it. When we

What is the year, make and model of your oven? Are you running it with Upstream and Downstream (pre-reflow, post-reflow) conveyors? Is the qty of the product low, medium or high? What is the max process width of the oven? what is the max board with o
