Werner,

Interesting point you make.
But that is not at all my experience.
Is it possible that the reflowoven is an important factor for a "succesfull"
tentprofile?
Highest setting, in our reflowoven, is 250°C for extreme boards (4.4 mm)
Normally 240°C is used for boards with different types (mass) of components.
Delta T on the board is 8 - 15°C depending on the assembly.
So there is no cooking issue.

Am I overlooking something?

Hi Daan,
I am with you on your experience. The tent-profile is really bad
news--except
for assemblies with all the same compenents, because it maximizes
temperature
differences between thermally massive components withrespect to small
components and the PWB. It also requires a different paste flux formulation,
but that is not the problem. the problem is that in order to get large
componets hot enough, the smaller ones and the PWB are cooking.
