  • Surface Mount Reflow with a Hot Air Tool on 2 oz/sq-ft copper weight PCBs

    I finally got printed circuit boards for a 100W USB-C power supply project , and the project requires a couple of small integrated circuits (ICs). The first IC is 4x4mm, but the other one is tinier at 3 x 2.5mm, and the PCB is fairly thick (2 oz/square…
