Could someone tell me the recommended board spacing when going through reflow? I've heard a couple different things so I was wanting to get other opinions.

Thanks Bob

Depends on the oven I have found, I had one oven that required about an entire zone for spacing while another I found that I could put them in back to back with minimal or no spacing.

Russ is correct, but you may have variations between board density types also. Some ovens may be able to handle low density boards with no spacing, but need a zone's worth of spacing for high density boards. Other ovens don't need any spacing for any board density type.
