Reflow Oven Zone Separation Challenges
Reflow Oven Zone Separation Challenges
Some of the zones or our oven profiler are competing to get to the correct temperature. How do I prevent the oven from having competing zones? Jim Hall and Phil Zarrow, The Assembly Brothers, answer this question.

How Frequently Should  We Recheck Profiles?
How Frequently Should We Recheck Profiles?
Is it necessary to replicate thermal profiling during long-term mass production? Is it necessary to recheck accuracy of reflow oven profiles periodically?

How to Manage Material Outgassing in Reflow Oven
How to Manage Material Outgassing in Reflow Oven
This study investigates the evaporation of chemicals during the reflow process from preheating until cooling. Different solder pastes are compared.

Probe Contact Issues with No-Clean Pin-in-Paste
Probe Contact Issues with No-Clean Pin-in-Paste
We are having issues with our no-clean pin in paste process caused by flux residue on the surface of the solder joint. Should all flux vaporize off during reflow?

Methods to Get Volatile Compounds Out of Reflow Process
Methods to Get Volatile Compounds Out of Reflow Process
With the introduction of lead-free soldering operating temperatures increased, and the chemistry of solder paste has been modified.

Connector Bowing During Reflow Process
Connector Bowing During Reflow Process
I have a connector that is bowing during lead-free soldering. When the connector is put through an oven on its own no bowing takes place. What is causing this?

What is the Life Span of a Profile Board?
What is the Life Span of a Profile Board?
What is the life span of a profile board? How many times can I use one test board to profile a reflow oven before throwing it away and why?

Vapor Phase Quality Improvement
Vapor Phase Quality Improvement
Today's state of the art single-phase vapor phase provide the solutions needed for lead-free soldering and requirements for a void-less solder joint.

Evaluating Accuracy of Thermocouple Attach Methods
Evaluating Accuracy of Thermocouple Attach Methods
The goal of this study was to identify a non-destructive method for thermocouple attachment that provides a small offset to the "actual temperature under a BGA."

How to Reduce Voiding on QFN Components
How to Reduce Voiding on QFN Components
I'm concerned about voiding in the central ground planes of my QFN components. What can I do and how concerned should I be?
