Printed board flatness is largely affected by a change in intrinsic properties through exposure to variances in temperature. The worst case deviation of the printed board from flatness may be at room temperature, peak temperature during reflow, or at any temperature in between. Printed board flatness must therefore be characterized during the entire reflow thermal cycle, and not solely at room...
