what did you reprofile to ? did you increase the peak reflow temperature ? can you tell form what to where ? I bet your vendor told you process guys that it was " drop in" for a tin leaded plated part.

Iron huh? You sure about that? We have the ERSA Versaflows and our nozzles are made out of ST37 Tool Steel. There is an "American equivalent" to this grade but I forgot what it is. You'll have to google it like I did. Anywho, Tin or Tin-Lead sold

Russells: You can mix the two solders you mentioned, assuming by "96s" you meant "96Sn / 4Pb". If you heat the two tin / lead alloys to a liquid state, you�ll form a tin / lead solution with properties different from either of the two solders. The

I was wondering if anyone has studied the effects of tin lead solder in the wave. If we leave the same solder in the solder pot, how many COMPLETE cool downs and start ups can the solder go through before it begins to break down? Please let me know

The amount of times the tin/lead solder can be melted and solidified is unlimited and the heat cycles do not affect the solder characteristics. The only reason for changing the solder pot is when impurities are at or over the maximum levels.

We are wave soldering some fabs with a lot of unmasked trace area along the edges. The trace area is solid copper covered with tin / lead, no masking, no components along the edges, same on solder side and component side (goofy board design). Inste

We process both tin/lead plated boards and gold plated boards in our surface mount group. I have used Sn62/Pb36/Ag2 solder paste on all gold plated boards to help prevent gold scavaging. To reduce the amount of different solder pastes we have to bu

I have seen this affect on Immersion Tin and OSP. 70 to 90 % of the solder wicks to the lead and forms a "single" homogenous solder mass. This even though the pad was 100 % covered with paste... Evaluated different solder paste...did find variatio

Hi, There have been other studies where it was found that lead-free soloder joints are more reliable than tin-lead solder joints irrespective of test conditions. In fact the automotive industry has been using Sn/Ag for underhood applications for a

Hi Folks, Need to draw upon the vast expertise in this forum... Whenever you fill a new wave solder machine with fresh bar solder, it seems to produce more than the normal amount of dross for a few weeks. I always understood this to be the solder "c
