Pyramax 100 A
The BTU Pyramax 100 A is a reflow oven. The BTU Pyramax 100 A is used for soldering SMD components on PCBs and features 8 heated zones with a maximum temperature of 350 degrees Celsius.[1][2][3]
What it is
The BTU Pyramax 100 A is a reflow oven.[2]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA reflow oven heats assembled circuit boards in a controlled thermal profile so solder paste melts and forms solder joints on mounted components.
A convection reflow oven moves heated gas across the board surface to transfer heat evenly through the conveyor path.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA reflow oven sits in the SMT assembly flow after component placement and before final inspection or downstream handling.
