Okl2 pcb in oven/look at this!

[Jgmathis]

Ok, so couldnt make a good connection, manually soldering. I put it in the oven as is(see pics), at 370F. As soon as it reached temp, i turned the oven off and let it cool. The solders look great to me! Just curious, did i destroy any components in the process? Fyi, i havent tested to see if it works. I, literallu, pulled it out of the oven and was so impressed by the solder of the okl2 chip to the pcb i wanted some imput from the vets.

That is 188c or right around there Ill check the specs on the board gimme a few min.

The specs say normal operation is 88c and thermal shutdown at 125c. You did go pretty far over the specs but if it was a short time it should be ok since it was not running. Next time you do a mod get some flux and apply a small amount at every solder joint. This is regardless if you are using rosin core solder or not. If you pre tin and flux every time you will have not one issue. Have you tried to power it up I am guessing you have. That is going to tell you more info than I can.

Good luck

Thanks for the reply! I havent tried to start it yet. I wanted it to sit a few days because I assumed i tripped the resettable fuses in the oven
