A reflow oven is a specialized piece of equipment used in the electronics manufacturing process to solder surface mount components onto printed circuit boards (PCBs) by melting solder paste. It operates through a controlled heating process that involves preheating, soaking, reflow, and cooling stages to ensure proper soldering and avoid defects.

Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are essential components in modern electronic devices, providing a platform for mounting electronic components and establishing electrical connections between them. They are designed using specific software tools and manufactured through processes that include etching, drilling, and soldering to create complex electronic circuits on a compact substrate.

Preheating is the process of heating an oven or other appliance to a specific temperature before cooking food to ensure even cooking and optimal texture. It is crucial in baking and roasting to achieve consistent results and avoid undercooked or unevenly cooked dishes.

Reflow is the process by which a web browser renders a webpage, recalculating the positions and geometries of elements when changes occur, such as resizing or dynamic content updates. It is a critical aspect of web performance optimization, as frequent or complex reflows can lead to slow page performance and poor user experience.
