Why Do Our Boards Warp During Reflow?
Why Do Our Boards Warp During Reflow?
Board flexing has started to occur on one of our circuit board assemblies, yet our process has remained the same. We are using a three-zone reflow oven. Phil Zarrow and Jim Hall, The Assembly Brothers, discuss this scenario and share their recommendations.

Reflow For Rigid Flex
Reflow For Rigid Flex
We have a new PCB assembly that includes a section of flex cable and FR4 circuit board. What are the reflow rules I need to consider? The Assembly Brothers, Phil Zarrow and Jim Hall, discuss the most important reflow guidelines in this scenario.

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.

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?

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?
