Regarding SMOBC, liquid photo, what would (in general) be the maximum
temperature and time a solder mask can hold before any deterioration occur
in a reflow oven?
Same question but for PCB built with standard FR4 material, 6-8
layers...what is the MAXIMUM temperature and time suggested in a reflow
oven for this type of PCB ?
Thank you in advance
