This has come up a number of times recently and a search for intrusive reflow or pin in hole reflow will reveal several threads. Also a good resource is the link below. From what has been stated on many of these forums and my own pre-production testing this is a very viable process when used for a suitable assembly. Be aware that many of your present components may not withstand reflow temperatures. Good luck John Thorup

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 results and run so the smt devices are parralel to the wave. If you are talking about thru-hole and smt on the topside of the assembly, I have had some success with using a dispensing machine to add paste to the leads of thru-hole components then reflowingin the normal fashion for smt. But you have to be sure that your thru-hole components can handle the heat of your reflow process.
