5 zone ovens | 26 May, 2006

Hi,

We have a 5 zone oven and we use a RTS Profile. Our last zone is the zone that the reflow takes place. some basic analysis is as follows: TAL 70 secs, peak temp 210,ramp rate seems fine. A typical setting is : Z1 140 Z2 160 Z3 160 Z4 185 Z5 220 speed 18inch/min

Can any other 5 zone users share some info. regarding their profile seetings:

I am starting to do some final trials for leadfree and would like to get some info. on how others profile.

All replies greatly appreciated.

Dave.

Dave,

For lead free, I've always left the ramp part the same and just spike higher in the reflow zone. I've also slowed things down a bit (5" per sec. slower)....without using prediction software, try, say... Z4 200 & Z5 260.

Here are settings for a Vitronics SMR500 oven for Indium Corp. 5.1 No-Clean Pb Free solderpaste, the product profiled was of medium thermal mass:

RTS, Temp C 120, 170, 195, 248, 264, conveyor speed was 43cm/min (17"/min.)

Peak temps were reached in 3.5minutes

Max + slope was 2.22C/sec.

Time Above 217C was 50 sec.

Three components were probed, thermocouples soldered with hi-temp solder, their max temps were 229C, 234C & 235C respectively.
