Thank you for: 1. An excellent view of how to use an oven to solder SMD parts 2. Your patience in explaining what you were doing at each step along the way. 3. Your calm manner of explaining things 4. An excellent infusion of classical music that filled the empty space,accompanied you but did not spill out and disturb my concentration - excellent balance. I bought a Chinese oven for $450 but see I could have gotten along just fine with what you used. I am saving your video as a treasure..
I used Zephyrtronics part number ZLSP-10CC. This paste is lead free but if you are a biginner I suggest starting out with the leaded. It is easier to use.
Very nice demo. I wonder why you didnt use solder paste for those few manual soldered LED's etc ? For the most part I myself have been using solder paste where ever possible for soldering new / repairing jobs. IMHO its much easier to handle the solder wetting of parts this way, as you just touch the hot iron to the parts - and job's done !
I am using a Panavise brand PCB holder. They are more expensive than cheap knock offs but well worth the price. Digikey should have them in there tool>>vises section. Thanks for the feedback. I will be posting more soon
Super awesome, useful, and informative! Esp. like the Beethoven in the background (think I also heard some Mozart). You Rock ... errr .. You classical ... errr You're COOL! (What gizmo are you using to hold the board (while soldering LED's)? Thanks
Don't "just take it out". You run the risk of damaging the board or the ICs if you change the temperature to quickly. Leave the board in the oven, open the door a little bit and let the hot air escape slowly.
i left mine in for 11 minutes because I thought the temp was too low, and was waiting to see signs of melted solder, solder ended up working great, but I toasted the plastic on the LEDs lol
I just put a k type thermocouple near to PCB and watched the digital display and used oven controls at first, but now I just whack it up to 190 C then off then just open the door slowly …..works every time no fancy stuff just a basic understanding of the process and some common sense ….don't no what all the fuss is about bloody toaster ovens and Arduino's....tech for tech's sake bloody waste of time
Storage temp is different than solder temp. 240 degrees C is a standard bake temperature for reflow soldering. Industrial reflow soldering ovens are not much different than a toaster oven.
one more question. i can get one for about 20 bucks. however, there are guards covering the bulbs. do i need to remove them or leave them there? sorry. im a noob, btw
1369Stiles Leave the guards. They don't affect the temperature much and are a safety feature. Those heating elements are susceptible to slumping when they get old. Better a wrecked toaster oven that a destroyed PCB :P
The toaster oven I am using is described in detail at 11:00 minutes on the video. It was a 1400 Watt convection toaster oven. The soldering iron I have is a Metcal.
while you were babbling on about how great your smd soldering skills were, you did not noticed the resistor has popped up. you should get your eyes checked !
jobaptist Interesting look at the video. Maybe you should get your brain checked. If you had a bit more of an attention span you'd realise he made the video with enough humility to outline the mistakes he made and go through the effort to explain why they occurred.

I just love your background music!
At the first time I thought Digi-key is a Digital Key selling company,but No,it was a paradise!

Love the Beethoven Sonatas in the background... What a nice video...
Very unique Tks for video
Thank you for having patience and showing.

That would be F. Lead free is usually higher than Lead solder.
Sir,
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. If you would, what size applicator or nozzle are you using to apply the solder paste?
Cheers
Will it work for double sided board? will not the component from other side fall off?
@8:50 tombstoning resistor! Very cool to see.
Definitely checking out "QuickStencil" and doing the paste that way. Basic silkscreening, but with metal :P

Thanks
When you said it's 400 degrees, is that in F or C?
Thanks for the great video.
well it ain't gonna be centigrade is it...….dickwad……..sorry
waiting to see how bad 400C turned out >.>
ah yes, I like to *cook* my PCBs at 400C in my spare time too!
Sorry for asking such a question. We here in Malaysia just not used to that Fahrenheit. Dunno why the world nowadays can be so cruel...
what is the brand of that solder paste ?
I am not sure what one I used but I bought a variety pack from Zephyrtronics. part number ZT-5-VPAK.
Awesome tutorial!

Are you ramping the temp at all with a controller? Wondering if I need to do that.

is this a DIY stencil? if so how did you make it? Thanks
No it is not. I order my stencils from quickstencil.
Jebadiah Moulton thanks
does it have to be a ifrared or can you use one with a regular heating element?
A regular heating element would work as long as there is an even distribution of temperature. preferably forced convection with a fan.
okay. thanks.
