Sorry, mis-spoke there.

Perfluorocarbons have no ODP, problem is with global
warming, because they trap heat much better than CO2
or methane.

Soldering


We use convection also, but I've seen some operations recently with
vapor phase.

Vapor phase works great.  Very efficient heat transfer, which is good
when you have lots of thermal mass.  Maximum temperature is limited to
the boiling point of the fluid.

On the downside, older models without good preheat can cause 
serious thermal shock.  The perfluorinated chemistry is expensive and
has high ozone depletion potential.

Subject: [LF] Vapor Phase Reflow Soldering vs. Convection Reflow
Soldering


Hello all,

We are currently evaluating an EMS provider who is currently using a
Vapor Phase Reflow system.  I am most familiar with the Convection
Reflow system and would like information from any one who can provide me
with a pros and cons between these two types of soldering systems.

 Being a Medical products manufacturer, we are concerned that some BGA
type components in the near future will not be available with solder
balls containing Lead.  Some new components already are only available
as Lead Free.  As a result on new designs, we now have a mix of these
types of components.  We are handling this by processing the PCB through
the conventional Lead soldering process and adding the Lead Free BGA
components through a work process.

Any information you can provide on the pros and cons will be
appreciated.

Thank you,

Wes
