Did you ever run big electrolytic caps on your board?

Good afternoon, What is the difference between your cap and the rest of the PWB? BR, Pavel

About 25C difference between the cap joint and the small ICs.

We are having problem to develop lead-free (SAC305) reflow profile for big SMT electrolytic caps. The delta T of the joint of the cap with the rest of the board is too big to fit in the tighter lead-free window. Any suggestions regarding the total pr

So correct me if I'm wrong: you are using a conventional oven (not VP, otherwise you must have mentioned), your big electrolytic caps go through a lead-free profile, which requires 30sec minimum at 230, but your time above 200C on the caps is less th

Yes.

How big is the cap ? We successfully reflow caps that measure aprrox .750" x 750" at the base and are .678" tall. The ovens we use are Vitronics XPM's.(1230,1040 and 930) We also process these caps through our Omniflow 10. As stated, oven length wi

When the component suppliers specify the cap as no more than 50sec (or even less time)above 200C, is there any way the lead-free profile window will fit if we wil have to achieve a peak temp of 230c for at least 30sec for the lead-free process? maybe

Change to through hole or hand solder. we are in the same boat and have not foound a reflow solution. James
