We run double sided boards that have large SMT electrolytic caps on the top side using the same profile for both sides. The trick is to do the bottom side first, then the top side. That way you do not need to glue down the large caps.

To monitor the reflow profile is very important. We are doing profile every week(Monday). Out customer asked us daily check at first. We checked daily but we changed the checking period from daily to weekly after discussing about it with our customer

Absolutely ok!! We already co-use the same profile setting for top and bottom side to avoid line efficiency loss for more than 10 years. But only one thing you should careful is the heavy mechanical parts on bottom side may drop during reflow proces

It depends. Issues are: * Are your processes 'in control and capable?' * How often do you change product runs? * Do your jobs run across shifts?

That's very helpful, and much appreciated. I know it's a long shot, but I don't suppose you know what paste they are using with these settings. I am testing with sn100c ws488. Thanks! kinos

That is why we don't care if it is Top or Bottom. We call them first (process) side and second (process) side. Often you will have tall and heavy parts on both sides, so you will have to glue them.

one of my customers with a BTU VIP 70 has the following settings, 100 / 175 / 210 / 250 / 265 with conveyor speed of 18 ins per minute. They get a peak temp of 240~245C and time above liquidus of 220 C is @ 55 secs. Built in thermocouples should give

We are not having any real issues. I am just first setting up a lead free profile, and was looking for a starting place. So far it's going well. Can you tell me more about why your paste would be better and I'll pass that on to the decision makers?

really need help!! Our company is experiencing a change on the Quality system. one of the things that we are discovering is the amazing variation during the reflow oven and wave solder processes. this week we found that the team had not been performi

starting point with zone settings would be, 100 / 160 / 200 / 225 / 260 deg C...but you'll have to check the exact profile on the pcb with a reflow profiler....making sure you meet the paste spec and making sure you don't heat any devices up to quic
