Using FireBoard 2 Pro for Reflow Profiling
In October 2019, FireBoard began producing our own circuit boards with the addition of a surface mount assembly line. The final stage in our PCB assembly line is a BTU Pyramax 8-zone reflow oven. This is where the melting and then cooling of solder creates electrical connections between surface-mounted components and the board.
