APEX EXPO 2026 Bob Bouchard - BTU

What do you know about reflow soldering?

Likely not as much as Robert Bouchard from BTU International!

Bob showed us their Aurora oven (great name) and described how it overcomes the thermal challenges associated with today's boards.

Most of the boards I run have 1-2oz copper pours. I can't even imagine the difficulty in getting good reflow on boards that weigh upwards of 20 lbs!

We really cover a lot of ground in this interview. Bob breaks down the science behind the reflow oven and you don't want to miss it!
