Hello Brad, We are running the Slim Kic 2000. We have found the predictions to be fairly accurate as long as the suggested change is within 20 degrees of the original recipie. As a test I ran a board with the wrong profile. The predictions got me wi

The steadfast rule of thumb is: In order to get reliable reflow, you need to be at or higher than [liquidus + 20�C] for about 5 to 10 seconds, rather than those old "60 seconds above 183�C" guideline. This provides for setting your peak based on the

This sounds like something the saleman of your new Vitronics oven should be happy to help you sort through. ECD [and probably other profiler supplers] provide software for playing with [optimizing?] recipes. In it, they allow you to select from a v

Peter: Please explain: * You say, "The cooling phase is important to perform the strength of the solder joint." [We agree that fast cooling rates produce fine grain in solder and that fine grained solder connections are stronger than coarse grained.

Hi, previous topics found closed so I couldn't continue on them, but wanted to ask maybe something that we don't already know paste shape and placement ok, reflow 12 zones profile looks ok (same since 2 yrs), component placement ok, one reference i
