That would be great Armando, thanks. Also, what changes might I make with metal clad light boards (LED). heat transference is tricky with these and the solder is not wetting well.

Check with your paste manufacturer for a recommended baseling. The paste manufacturers generally have a database by oven that gives optimal performance for their paste. It's only a baseline, and does need to be adjusted based on the thermal foot pr

Let me be the first to suggest; Get a better oven. 5 zones minimum. If you can't, you will have to have some way of profiling the board. Does the oven have thermocouple ports? If not you will have to buy some kind of termperature datalogger. Mayb

We have been having problems with proper wetting when running mainly lead free but also leaded solder in our Ersa Hotflow 3. Solder either often looks grainy or doesn't flow over the whole pad. This is generally the case when my profile is 170 firs

Reflow profiles are based on the product and materials you are soldering. You need profiling software and a data logger.

Dr. Lee, For Pb-free solders, will the reflow profile be similar to that of Sn/Pb, with an flux activation plateau before going to peak reflow, or will the profile be more linear in nature? Are there advantages/disadvantages to either profile for P

Like robdg3 said, just check your paste spec and define your reflow profile accordingly. There should not be any major difference in reflow profile due to PCB finish.

when taking a reflow profile, can i attach the thermalcouple to the component body (using high temp tape) instead of to the leads (often found thermal couple dettached during reflow). in general, what is the temp diff between these 2 locatinos. if so
