Charles, I am using an Air-Vac PCBRM12 to selectively solder a 96 pin thru-hole connector onto an otherwise all SMT board. Cost is $8.6K plus about $300 per flow well (nozzle.) Went from a 6 minute cycle to hand solder the connector to 15 seconds o

| What selective soldering products should I use for a low production rate, high-mix product line? I am looking to get rid of some hand soldering. I have seen exselect (selective soldering pot method), pillarhouse (small flow solder nozzle with robot

woow, looks like I need to go back on the road... you all have great info. but what happen to asking what type of machine do they currently use, what is the configuration of the machine, what type of flux are we using, are running single sided or dou

The reason we are using laser rather reflow is because the Osram Golden Dragon part my customer needs to use is not rated for reflow. I would prefer to stay away from hot bar as there is maintanance required on the tips, Unitek had a pretty sweet mac

Does anyone have any experience with setting up a nitrogen supply system to a wave solder machine that is equiped for it? Does the nitrogen need to be room temp or higher? Does it make a big difference with bridging or solder quality? We bought a use

You should try looking into the Technical Devices Nu/Era. They offer the best warranty on their lead free solder pots. They use something called Titanium Nitride which has been tested to outlast Melanite. The dross produced on the TDC machines i

No, wouldn't want to, wouldn't be prudent. Best process I think is to solderpaste reflow the TSOP components then mask them for the wave. Mask using liquid type soldermask or a selective solder pallet. Or, if you must, the only way I can see any dece

Hi, All seem good answers and food for thought. Additions you probably know. Flux Supplier Application Notes/Data Sheet. Many of them have run experiments to tell you what works for their flux on various machines. They might even give you optio

We dont have the debridging knife. I had one on an old Hollis machine I had once. It was totally worthless. I am setting up the nitrogen today. I will let you know how its goes. We are using a water based no-clean. The nitrogen will probably make a
