We've been having issues with our current process of oven profiles. We use a high temp adhesive to bond the thermal couples to the desired components. The issue of them letting go or releasing during reflow temps are hit or miss. Majority of our buis

Drilling a hole, and attaching the thermocouples underneath the part is the recommended way to profile for a BGA, unfortunately. It allows the best method of collecting specific data, including any thermal sinking/shadowing that the BGA creates. Ho

Hello, I want to ask on suitable temperature profile for PCBs with ENIG final surface finish. I know that it is complex question with many unknowns. When the PCB will be standard 1,5 mm 35/35 Cu and the amount of components will have any influence o

Hi Kevin, the profile doesn't actually qualify something as lead free or not it's purely the Pb content of the assembly that does this. Currently the understanding of the limitations of the lead in the jont is 0.1% by weight or less. So as long as y

Hi, Using good profiling makes all the difference. Its not easy, and thats where good software helps make it easy. If it's easy, then you tend to do it often, so things stay good. I like using this KIC software so much I wanted to take the profiler

Have you given this information to your paste manufacturer???(Profile, Pics of defects?) The profile seems to look ok(without knowing paste info...) I think the ramprate looks a little aggressive but it could be the scaling of the profile and the i

Eric, I haven't used this oven; but, our Heller has built in profiling. Essentially, attach the thermo-couples to a board, and the appropriate point on the oven, and run a board (without parts). Your paste manufacturer will have published a reco

Also, for anyone who's taken an interest in this thread: We just received samples of Henkel/Loctite's room temperature stable(yes, you read that right), halide-free, lead-free pastes, both the GC 10 and the GC 3W (which is a water soluble/wash paste

Hi all, Our production reported that they found 3 panels out of 53 panels with strange phenomenon after reflow. 1/ Blister / Delamination of PCB panels, 2pcs blister/delamination under solder mask, 1pc under Gold plating at Gold finger 2/ Silkscr

OEM Boy, Reflow depends on your paste type also. Are you using lead free or will you be going to lead free soon? If your are going to you might want to consider developing two different profiles for lead free and leaded pastes. Good Luck! J.D.
