I would like some help on finding a good material for making card carriers
to go through the reflow oven.  We will be assembling a card with PTH
connectors on both sides and will use the paste in hole process.  The
carrier would hold the bottomside connectors and support the board but
cannot absorb too much heat to affect reflow.  I have heard of ECP Plus
from EMC and Delmat for making wave solder card carriers.  Are those
materials good for reflow as well?  Is there anything better, less
expensive, easier to machine, etc. out there?  I would like to get the
material in approximately 1/4" thick sheets and then have them milled out
in our machine shop.  You can e-mail me directly at [log in to unmask]

Thanks for your input,
