SMT Curing / Baking Oven for SMT Soldering

SMT Baking Oven or SMT Curing Oven is used for SMD Soldering in Surface Mount Technology (SMT).

There are three types of Surface Mounting:

  1. Type 1;
  2. Type II; and
  3. Type III

For Type III surface mount, SMD components glued to the bottom of the SMT board require curing before wave soldering.

In addition, electronic components placed on the solder paste in Type I and Type II Surface Mount Technology assemblies achieve reduced solder defects (such as solder balls for BGA) by being baked before reflow soldering.

In electronics, an oven is required for both adhesive curing and solder paste baking operations. The same or different ovens may be used for adhesive curing and baking of solder paste.

If an Infrared (IR) oven or a convection oven is used for reflow soldering, it is not necessary to have separate adhesive and solder paste baking ovens. The same IR or convection oven can be used for adhesive curing, solder paste baking, and reflow soldering.

The decision to combine solder paste baking, solder reflow and adhesive curing in the same oven depends on volume requirement. It also means that a decision has been made to use IR or convection instead of other reflow soldering processes such as vapor phase, laser soldering, or convection belt soldering. Today the convection oven is more widely used than any other type of oven for SMT.
