- [Headband Magnifier Hands Free Jeweler Loupe Head Mount Magnifying Headset Visor Double Optical Glass 4 Replaceable Lenses for Reading,Repair(1.5X,2.0X,2.5X,3.5X)](https://www.amazon.com/Headband-Magnifier-Jeweler-Magnifying-Replaceable/dp/B08RYVH7DL)
- Put the board(s) in the toaster oven. I usually put them right on the wire rack, which is in the metal tray.
- Put the thermocouple inside the toaster oven. Close the door on the thermocouple wire so that it holds the end right above the PCB, inside the oven.
- Turn the oven on bake, medium setting.
- Once the temp gets to 140C, turn down the oven heat and try and keep it at 140-150C for 2 minutes. Open the door a little if it's getting to hot. This is the "Soak" phase
- Turn the oven on convection bake, medium setting. The convection fan in the toaster oven helps keep the temperature even through out the inside of the oven.
- Once the temp (as read off the thermocouple thermometer) gets to 140C, turn down the oven heat and try and keep it at 140-150C for 2 minutes. Open the door a little if it's getting to hot. This is the "Soak" phase
- After two minutes, turn the heat to high
- Once the temp reaches 200C start a timer for 30 seconds. Keep the temp between 200 and 220C for this phase. Usually you don't need to do anything. This is the "Reflow" phase. You should see all of the paste melt.
- After 30 seconds, turn off the toaster oven. open the door.
- Let the boards cool for a bit in the oven with the door open.
- Once cool to touch, inspect the boards with a microscope for dry pads and/or bridges. Depending on how well you did with stenciling there may be a few, especially on QFP packages. QFNs sometimes too. Fix these up with paste flux, solder braid and your soldering iron.
- If you have parts on both sides of the board, it's fine to just repeat the steps on the second side. The surface tension of the solder almost always keeps the parts from falling off. When you reflow the second side, make a little stand out of metal to keep the bottom side parts off the wire rack in the toaster oven.
- If you have parts on both sides of the board, it's fine to just repeat the steps on the second side. The surface tension of the solder almost always keeps the parts from falling off while they are getting reflowed upside down. When you reflow the second side, make a little stand out of metal to keep the bottom side parts off the wire rack in the toaster oven.
