The problem is that we don't use a wave solder machine. Our process right now is that we mask the holes, let it sit at room temperature until it dries, then conformal coat the boards with Humiseal. And, we cannot have the boards ready the day befor

You're not sposed to pull the mask from the BGA when reworking it!!!! ;-) Well, if you insist. You can be as fancy as you want. Basically, all you need to do form a dam to prevent the solder from flowing from the pad to the via and starving the

Has anyone experienced bridging on topside (solder destination side) surface mount devices after wave soldering? We x-rayed 100% of the placements after smt re-flow with no issues. When the same placements were x-rayed after the tht wave solder pro

Peelable solder mask works well. Hand dispense and peel off after. Paint sticks work OK, but it depends on the mfger of the paint stick. In both methods you hand apply after screen print. Your Dek can be taught pads to get by. You may have to te

| I am running a board that is .062" thick and has components that over hang the edge of the board by .090". I have bottom side smt components (chip caps and resistors only) and use the turbulent wave to help solder the components. The problem I am

Thanks for the acvice, Dave and John. Like I stated above, I didn't feel comfortable with changing wave parameters since I knew that we'd be compromising our wave quality. I'll try the peelable mask thing, reprofile, and let you guys know what i fo

| I have gold fingers that I want to mask when running over the wave without pallets. They're on the leading edge of the board. I recall seeing rubber boots that slid onto the fingers to mask them. Pop 'em on before the wave; pop' em off after and

Silicone-based coatings "repel" most foreign,non-compatible materials like peelable solder mask, and rubber or vinyl boots. The result is, uncured material around the vicinity of where the boot was. Trust me. Been there and done that. As a rookie
