Reflow-Test

RaumZeitLabor Podcast

This is a test of our reflow oven (10x speed). We used a solid state relais with the default heatin elements (top+bottom ones) with a duty cycle of 50%. Start temperature was 24°C, stop temperature was about 230°C. No reflow soldering profile support is in place so far. This test worked far better than the first test, because the heat elements didn't glow, and thus not emitting much IR. Our first test did burn the surface of the PCB while not melting the solder due to the IR. Thanks to @mikelectricstuf for pointing this out in some video.
