Is home-made soldering aluminum PCB soldering different from ordinary PCBs in factory assembly line?

I am wondering if i ordered some aluminum pcbs that contain D2pak transistors and i want to solder a couple of them for testing is it possible using basic equipment or does it need an reflow soldering oven.

Ja.

The solder reflow heat mass is significantly greater in assembly line.

You may need some forced air for ramp-down and a thermal couple probe to “profiel” a bare board to match the LED recommended ramp rates, peak liquidus dwell and cooling rates to prevent solder stress failures.

If you do not have thermal couples , estimate the liquidus point when a tiny blob of solder melts and the duration it is melted. and your overall profile time from the datasheet. Avoid too slow and too fast as the wire bond may shear inside.

Assembly line process engineers do this with a thermally protected data collection module.

It slow down the conveyor speeds to absorb the higher heat mass as well as accelerate the temperature rise in the number of zones in their control. Too slow is a reliability issue for LEDs and the overall time to ramp up and down must not be exceeded for this reason.

What are the black spots in lead-free solder joints on PCB?

I am prototyping a PCB, using Chip Quik’sSMDSWLF.031, a Sn96.5/ Ag3.0/ Cu0.5 solder with 2.2% no-clean flux. I find that the black spots appears frequently in larger pads on my board. I wonder if it is because I left the soldering iron more time heating the solder and that burnt the flux. What is that black residue? Is that a sign of a bad joint or maybe bad soldering technique?

How do you hold SMD part in place while soldering?

I go through this every time I have PCBs I need to populate with SMD parts, and this has become more an issue as pin spacings have gotten tighter, and my hands have become less steady with age. How do you hold SMD part in place while soldering?
