The connectors experimented with garage style reflow
1854 1 Dec 13.2019, 18:25:06

Hello folks,
I did some experiments today for first time with reflow soldering. Results are ok-ish but one small detail: IDC connectors, as you can see on the picture.
Are good quality IDC connectors OK to reflow? Or is it better to solder them by hand after reflow?
Attached pictures of the temp profile and result  

Thanks!!!

Surface mount types should reflow fine. Through hole types are hit and miss, cheap Chinese connectors will melt in most cases. Also, IR will heat connector to higher temperature than PCB.
