Reflector shield saves sensitive
components
A new thin-metal reflector shield protects sensitive components during pin-in-hole reflow, the technique of soldering both SMD and traditional leaded components in a single operation.
Pin-in-hole reflow (PIHR), the technique of soldering both SMD and traditional leaded components in a single operation, has been confirmed as eminently feasible with the introduction of thin-metal reflector shields, which simply drop over temperature-sensitive components to protect them from thermal damage Pioneered by Weymouth based Tecan, the reflow reflector shield is custom built to fit over leaded components, such as connectors, crystal oscillators and switches, during the reflow process
