With a melting point of roughly 300°C, you would need to have the product see temperatures peaking around 325°C at a minimum. (I would make sure the components and PCB materials can withstand these temperatures) Most convection ovens do not go over 3

If you are talking about Pin In Hole Reflow that is not true, I hope it was not my friends at Speedline that told you that. Stencil printing of paste for through hole reflow can be done. If you get all the parameters right it can give you joints lik

Garo, Minor voiding in Ball Grid Array solder joints is common, and not considered a threat to reliability. The biggest cause of open solder joints caused by voids is the outgassing of moisture. They are formed when pockets of gas are trapped durin

Hi, We have a SMT production like, however we have very little experience with through hole assembly. We design everything to be completly SMT based, however connectors are the only part of our product that still requires through hole assembly. Cur

Martin It might be possible to mount a deballed BGA as you mount a QFN. Thinking about doing it, it could be a lot more difficult than first thought. When you heat a BGA, it 'dances' on the board because of the different CTE of the materials involved

| What oven temperature should be used to reflow solder (Sn63Pb37) on a PC board (0.075" to 0.100" thickness) in 5 to 10 minutes? | Hi Judy, In profiling you need an understanding of the reflow specs from the solder paste manufacturer then you nee

hi, I have a big problem with soldering uP QFP144 package.All components in PCB are small, only this chip is big and I can't make good temperature profile.Solder joints of other components are shining and with good wetting, but in QFP leads solder j
