There's a ton of em'. We used the one from Paul N. Gardner Company, part # WF-CCD. They cost 0.95 each, so if someone decides the gage looks better in their garage, it's not that big of a deal. We set up a program that puts down 4 stokes on a test

Are You planning to produce a RoHS compliant product? If You just are going to reflow non RoHS compliant components with a "RoHS oven profile"; make sure that the comps. can withstand the higher solder temperature. As we see it; it is a big reliabil
