Technical Presentation:  EIT Oven Evaluation

Abstract:  EIT CORPORATION is a contract manufacturer with headquarters in Virginia and 4 manufacturing sites, including one in Salem, NH. The plant in Salem had a new potential customer with a challenging pcb to thermoprofile.. A large mass pcb with a wide variety of temperature sentive components that had to be run with lead free solder. Using their current 8 zone ovens they were unable to accomplish a profile that would adequately reflow the solder joints without overheating the components on the pcb. The decision was made to purchase either a 10 or 12 zone oven and the engineering staff was assigned the task of qualifying the best oven for the application and ensuring that it could accomplish the new job. The engineering staff had no sample product to run the evaluation so that they had to devise a method that would satisfactorily accomplish the experiment. This presentation will show you the unique way that the experiment was designed and the it’s surprising results.
