* Try 1.5C / sec from RT to 165C * Hot soak at 165-175C for up to 2 minutes (I'd start with 60 seconds flat soak.) * 60-90 seconds TAL (I's start with 60) * 230-240C Peak. Thanks, Mario

What I usually do is keep the peak temperature about 5-10 deg C below the peak temperature of my lowest rated component, then set everything else up around that. Worse case scenario is to just extend the time above liquidus (TAL) in 5 second increme

To have an Operating Temp (Tool Classification) within your range, you might want to try. PB85 (Pb85/Sb10/Sn5) SMT is normally processed using Vapor Phase but can also be achieved with Nitrogen assisted Convection Reflow depending on size and compl

We used Promosol Sn96.5/Ag 3.5 during our initial qualification for similar application. We could not achieve a shiny solder joint. Our changes to Sn95.5/Ag 4.5 does not improve the look. In order to confirm the reliability of the joint, I suggest yo

What solder alloy are you using at the moment which is coming to the end of its limits ? Normally in general for safe operation of an alloy we don't like to recommend any operation temp that is higher then two thirds of the solders melt point, but th

Assuming you're using DOM and shelf life to determine what's good and what's not, you just have to know 1)the rate at which you use it up, 2) how much shelf life is left, and 3) the rate that it goes bad when not refrigerated. From that you can tel

Mario, what happens when there are components on the boards that are not rated to take temperature of 230-240 C Peak for a mixed assembly. I guess there are tons of sn/Pb components that have rated temp of 225-230 C.. So in guess you might want

Hello Michel...this might be a bit of a battle finding the low thermal EMF material that you are looking for. The first one that comes to my mind is Bismuth Selenium Telluride, with either a nickel or cobalt doping agent. Silver went away from this
