Dear TechNetters,

a contract manufacturer has problems in controlling the soldering
process after switching to forced gas (from infra-red).

One idea was letting us change land patterns ("my experience: oval works
better than rectangular"). Any experience reports, hints, literature
regarding land patterns _and_ soldering process would be welcome.

Any hints on process optimization we could forward to our contract
manufacturer are also welcome (is there a "top ten faults in forced gas
convection soldering"?).

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards

Stefan Pollmeier
