| Hey there gang, how's it going ? | | Anyway's here's my probelm, got a new product to build double sided reflow, lot's of so20's and PLcc's 1206's, 0805's the usual stuff. Probelm is all the pad spacing of the 1206's are too big, my component's ar

| | What oven temperature should be used to reflow solder (Sn63Pb37) on a PC board (0.075" to 0.100" thickness) in 5 to 10 minutes? | | Profiling - tedious but important. As said, start with the paste manufacturers recomendation which is usually pu

Hello, I have a board that has been giving us problems for some time now. It is fairly well populated, mostly with IC's and SOT's on the topside. There is a Zilinx QFP160. This component does not reflow well. All of the other components look OK. A t

| For some as yet unkown reason, we have started to have some boards sag and go under the wave. The boards are surface mount top side and conventional components wave soldered. We have checked the wave hight and both the profiles on the wave solder a

What happens is: we generate a profile that works and it is fine. however, If we run this profile continously say for an ECO upgrade or something where we are not just doing 1 or 2 we find that as we continue on the profile gets hotter and hotter i

Let�s not get drawn into making more of the amount of training required in order to be able to develop an effective reflow recipe than is necessary. A low-skilled operator with about one hour's training can setup the solder reflow oven. Consider co

Hi CKH, Here's some things to consider: 1) Moved by obstruction in/entering oven, such as nitrogen skirts 2) Incorrect air pressure/air leak in oven (large surface area on component) 3) Reflow temperature too hot & electrolyte/air in cap is expandi

I used to switch my N2 on and off for different products and I had performed profiles on the products with and without the N2 on and there was not a difference in the profiles. So you should not have to adjust your profiles. I think everyone else c
