| Hi | I have been conducting my first reflow profiles. Most of the texts that I have read suggest soldering the thermocouples to a populated pcb. I am finding this very difficult. I have been using a high melting point (Sn5 / Pb95) solder and the

Typical problems with our heller 1707 EXL would be blower issues. We have almost replaced every blower on the top sense purchase. Fortunately Heller is very good about honoring there warranty on the blowers which is quite long, Might be lifetime not

O.K., I give up. I am through trying to solder thermocouples on to 20 mil pitch QFPs. Whether it's my lousy technique (fairly likely), the wrong solder (Kester calls it thermocouple solder, and who am I to argue...it's a Sn10Pb88Ag2 alloy) or just

We are looking for a new BGA rework station. We got an ERSA IR550A and we are not very satisfied. I'm not sure that IR reflow is the better solution because the top-side heating is too large. I think is better with a convection "forced-air" heat.

Hello - I am looking for a source to supply low thermal EMF solder - can anyone provide pointers ? In the past a cadmium - lead alloy was used for this, but these are banned (RoHs) ... - the aim is to minimize thermo-couples on a very sensitive 4 lay

Eric, Protective sleeve? The sleeving protecting the wires of the thermocouples? I bought mine direct from Heller. I think it was $90 for a set of 3 (my oven uses 3 thermocouples). They are close to thirty feet long (I'm guessing...they're much

Hi. Have an older 1809EXL that was purchased new and has sat idle for years with 270 on hours as of today. After days of testing, unable to melt fresh paste from Loctite (SAC305). The root cause after the investigation is due to one of the 2 TDM modu

Looking for another source beside Omega! We buy the Omega brand 5SC-TT-K-36-36. Omega's lead-time on this stuff is 4-5 weeks. Can anyone help?

Steve, I'd second Daan's opinion. BGA profile we use gets a peak of 210deg-C to 223deg-C (but that's using our WS paste unique characteristics) with reflow zone holding time of 45-60sec. We had 6 PBGA and 2 ceramic BGA on a 6 layer PCB. typical p
