Thermocouple attachment methods for solder paste reflow soldering

Thermocouples are the preferred choice for accurately monitoring the temperature of critical points on circuit board assemblies during the soldering process and used with reflow profiling data collection interment such as the ECD Mole. When the time comes that you have to instrument a PCB with thermocouples, what you want is reliable thermal data and quick, easy, convenient installation that does not damage the PCB. This article will discuss different methods to attach thermocouples.
