Sudden flux boil will cause splatter. More thorough drying or a slower intial ramp to allow drying to occur before a boil or "splatter" temperature is reached may aid your problem.

This may make it easy, Do you really need soak? Or can you just ramp to reflow. Most pastes that I am aware of perform just as well using the linear ramp as opposed to the ramp/soak /spike. Now, out of curiosity how are you attaching the thermocou

Water soluble pastes generally work best with a ramp-to-spike reflow profile. Check your paste manufacturer's recommended profile. There are many factors that impact your profile; board thickness, component density, buried thermal masses, board si

The main problem I am having is getting the Rising slope 1-3 degrees. If I slow the conveyor down then I have too long of a reflow and if I speed it up then my ramp rate is too high. I was not sure if I need my first zones at a low temp or higher t

To Brian W. I think I will use your concept thanks for the help and from all the others that gave me suggestions. I seem to get best results from a Low temp at first with hardly no soak and just a ramp to spike. Thanks again.

Could anyone give me a basic profile temperature settings for a conceptronics 7 zone oven and speed? I have the first couple of zones ramped up to get to the soak temperatures. Is this correct or should I start out with low temperatures and graduall

Hi James, I saw very good posts here.Now I will give you one more practical way: 1. My advice is to encrease the temperature(like your first sidgestion). Termostress is important thing so your first zone should be 120-150C. 2. The paste profile. If

Hi The temprature for the first zone should be more as the PCB entering the oven from the ambient shop floor temprature needs a higher temp.Next zone could be lower than the first zone.The ramp is a relation of conveyor speed and the temp profile.T

So which one is it? I am getting confused a bit because there are so many people doing it different ways. I know with higher temperatures at the begginning you have a chance of shocking the parts but if you dont have the higher temperatures at the

We have a 5 zone oven and were starting at 150 which brought it up too fast. Even with only a 5 zone starting at 140 we get the temp up to soaking temp fast enough. ( I think too fast actually) What kind of oven do you have anyways? And I can't
