If you are talking about reflowing surfacemount on the solder side of the assembly, that is accomplished by gluing the smt components to the bottom of the board. I recomend that you use a chip wave in conjuction with the normal wave to get the best r

Ideal situation is get a technical rep from the solder paste supplier. They know their paste better, and should be able to work out a profile based on their paste and your oven. Again, a technical rep, not the sales guy.

What paste are using? You should referance the manufactures time and temperature specification. Running lead-free in a 5 zone oven can be done with out a problem but it is not production friendly. If you are concerned with through put I would look fo

Oh, well if you can profile, model your profile to the profile supplied by the paste manufacturer. Anything outside of their recommended profile is all experimantal.

Take a look at this. Remember, these are only guidlines and can not replace any paste specs. As Real Chunks said, a profiler will be of HUGE help. We use this to determine what our top side temps are and to see if we have any problems with heat sen

You can keep only the 5th zone as the reflow zone. And lower the first two zones to keep a good ramping rate. Meanwhile,please note the ting temperature in software or control panel is not the exact temperature in your PCB, you'd better get a KIC or

I am not very concerned about production time, but it is always a thought! Quality is more importnant of course. We have 2 different pastes, with almost identical requirements. We can get close to their profiles, but i am worried that i am spending

Question: If we run the same oven to run both lead free and lead paste. Will any lead contamination transfer to the lead free board by force conversion?

Wow, I'm surprised everyone jumped onto the "Type Of Oven" bandwagon. Usually the type of lead free paste will determine your oven needs. Take these needs to most of the major oven makers and see if they can exceed these needs. Then take these ove

recently I met one very interesting issue with my board and connector. substrate of the board is copper with immersion silver, pad size is about 3x1mm. we print lead-free paste on the pad, then put the connector on the paste. The board was reflowed u
