A C C O M P L I S H I N G T H E R E F L O W P R O C E S S Inspection before Reflow Inspection before Reflow After Printing It is helpful to have a sample of a known good board or photographs of an ideal production board to assist in inspection.
A C C O M P L I S H I N G T H E R E F L O W P R O C E S S Section B: Reflow Process Considerations Throughput Determining One of the primary factors that contributes to yield is throughput. A 7–zone Throughput machine has 40% greater throughput than a 5–zone machine, and a 10–zone machine has 43% greater throughput than a 7–zone machine.
A C C O M P L I S H I N G T H E R E F L O W P R O C E S S The Reflow Profile The Reflow Profile Introduction A recipe profile consists of time and temperature parameters that dictate how long the assembly is processed and at what temperature.
A C C O M P L I S H I N G T H E R E F L O W P R O C E S S Process Zones Process Zones Introduction The goal of the reflow process is to melt the powder particles in the solder paste, wet the surfaces being joined together, and solidify the solder to create a strong metallurgical bond.
A C C O M P L I S H I N G T H E R E F L O W P R O C E S S Process Zones It is important to monitor the maximum temperature. Temperatures above 230° C may cause damage to the internal dies of SMT components as well as foster intermetallic growth.
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Section C: Reflow Process Troubleshooting Table Problem Possible Cause(s) Uneven Soldering, Localized Cold Large temperature differential Joints Insufficient heat; raising the maximum reflow temperature may resolve the problem. Inadequate cleaning of the PCB prior to soldering may not allow fluxing action sufficient for the soldering process If a higher mass part does not solder, there may be insufficient time/temperature in the soak zone.
Page 136
Problem Possible Cause(s) Solder Beading (cont.) Over–printing of leading contact area causes the paste to squeeze out under the compo- nent. Use “home plate” aperture design to reduce the leading contact area of the paste. Solder mask problems due to the thickness of the mask causing a different capillary action.
