Abstract

A reflow soldering apparatus comprises a preheating chamber and a reflow chamber, both of which are furnished with a plurality of means for circulating a hot gas being composed of a cross flow blower, a divergent nozzle, a heater, a temperature sensor, a temperature controller, and a power regulator etc. The cross-flow blowers above a conveyer are arranged in a back to back manner and the blowers beneath the conveyer are arranged in a face to face manner, and soldering is performed by impinging the hot gas upon a circuit substrate being transferred by the conveyer. A reflow soldering apparatus having a small temperature fluctuation in the preheating chamber and the reflow chamber, high reliability in the soldering by maintaining a desired temperature profile, and preferable economy is provided.
