Reflow Solder Controller

Soldering SMDs in an ordinary electric oven

Published in issue 372, December 2007

Reflow Solder Controller

the January 2006 issue we described in some detail how you could build your own reflow oven using an inexpensive electric oven. That article resulted in many enthusiastic comments from our readers, which confirmed to us that there was a lot of interest in such a project. In this issue we present a completely new version of the control electronics for a DIY SMD oven. It is even available as a kit of parts, making the construction easy provided you know your bit about electrical safety regulations.
