If you’re working with modern electronics, odds are you’re going to be dealing with surface mount components. This is all well and good, but who has the space or the funds for a reflow oven? Thankfully, someone has finally decided to fix this problem.
ReflowR is a small, affordable, and convenient desktop reflow tool. The creator came up with the idea after dealing with a lot of different SMT prototypes and productions. This is also the second version of the tool, improved in several ways thanks to feedback from buyers.
The new version has an LCD display, and the top plate is coated with a high-temperature coating for better resistance. The specialized, custom-wound heater element and aluminum plate beneath spreads the heat evenly across the entire PCB.
Since this is designed specifically for PCBs, it offers a lot less room for error than your average IR oven, or a toaster oven. It also features eight profiles ranging from Reflow to Rework, and MSD bake.
