OSP Interval Times for Reflow

Expert Panel Responses

Normally as quick as possible. Without knowing your reflow profile it would be nearly impossible to give an accurate estimate. Try with a group of scrap boards for 24, 48, 36 hours etc. until you reach a point you are happy with. But 48 hours should be the maximum you aim for due to potential variation on PWB
