Hi: Generlly speaking, in a reactive mode, nitrogen blankets are used to improve the yield of a process that is marginal in terms of removing, and/or preventing the re-appearence of, oxides on copper features or component I/Os. That marginality can

Currently I am running a very dense PCBA using a PCB less than 20 mils thick. We have two facilities running this product. One is using Nitrogen during reflow one is not. What is the advantage and disadvantages of using Nitrogen during the reflow

I've done minimal research to this point and understand my issue with solder on the double sided boards is due to oxidation that occures on the unpopulated pads when the board makes its first trip through the reflow oven. We did run both sides in a

Oh, another thing, we do not like to probe copper. It's hard, compared to solder, and beats-up the probes too much. [As Patrick Bruneel states in this thread.] Consider reflowing paste on your test pads.

I just swapped from the HASL to Immersion Silver mainly because the board house we use could not maintain consistency in keeping the pads level. I was constantly battling bumps and bad finishes on the pads. They are able to give me a consistent board

Do I need to lower temperature of bottom zone (for common size parts) while reflow 2nd side of the board or I should be using same profile as I used for 1st side reflow? Will parts on bottom side will stay in place without changing temperature?

Thank You Chris.

We have the same ovens, our 2 sided boards have the same profile for both sides. Haven't seen a problem in 8 years.

I don't think you decide that based on the oven. More important is what kind of parts you have on the board. If you have big heavy parts you should run them as second side.Of course you have the option to put glue under the suspicious part and run it
