John, As Dave says, never clean raw paste. Let it sit for at least 24 hrs if you can and use a plastic spatula to wipe off the bulk of it. The "drier" the paste the easier it is to remove without it travelling down vias etc. You will then have to cho

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

I experienced this with a high-mass capacitor. I was able to turn down the bottom-side convection (around 50�C lower than each of the top-side heaters), and able to NOT lose any parts. I got the bottom-side part just slightly over liquidus, and min

I have worked with both a batch and 5 zone conveyer oven. Both ovens worked very well. The batch was used for prototypes and low volume processing. Conveyer oven was more efficient when reflowing medium to large quantities. Basically there are ad

Our company is in the market to replace the $50 toaster oven we use to reflow boards with something that can actually achieve even temperature and a proper reflow curve. We are a RnD type company and have no need for volumes. Though we have some heav

Bottom-side SMT parts CAN and DO go liquidus during the 2nd reflow cycle. It could be that there was enough variability between the 2 different lot code PCBs to cause the parts to fall off. Remember wetting force determines surface tension (the abi
