All,

I am considering trying out the above to try and eliminate some of my defects on the wave process aswell as reducing cycle time etc. Incase of unfamiliarity with what it is : basically there is a Solder Preform present on the Header/Connector and it reflows to create your joint throughthe reflow oven as opposed to using wave.

If any users can share experiences good or bad it would be appreciated.

They work well if the volume of solder is correct for the hole size etc...

They can be expensive and if your using water soluble chemistry you will have to immerse the pre-form into flux. Asking the vendor to provide flux with the pre-form I believe it would dry out prior to use.

Jim Zanolli of Teka Interconnect did an "OnBoard Forum" a couple of years ago [ http://www.smtnet.com/forums/index.cfm?CFApp=2&forum_idx=44 ]. He certainly would be a good point of contact.
