We use a Wave Solder Plated Through Hole (PTH) assembly process to install a TO-220 Chip Package in the PCB board that we manufacture and have experienced lower yields on a number of boards with this component due to Bridges. The bridges on the TO-22

After 16 years in the industry, I have honestly never heard of putting wax in a solder pot. Anyway, I do have some experience with Treiber wave solder machines, and as I recall, the air-driven pumps are a nightmare to service. First of all, make su

Eric, We also have a UPK 650C. Our machine was configured for N2 and using the ConTour nozzle. If you're using this nozzle without N2 you're creating tons of dross unnecessarily not to mention probably getting tons of icicling. We found out the h

| Always experiencing dross in pot with different characteristic such as color, shape, dry/wet etc. Any paper, wetsites provide the more comprehesive explanation on its characteristic | Dross is a mixture of various things. The obvious ones are met

Tim- You have two separate issues 1) Stencils and 2) wave. Stencils you can purchase a ultrasonic system that will remove the paste automatically or you can use stencil wipes to remove it manually. I would refrain from using towels and IPA as it dilu

Jason, First, check with the manufacturer of the flux you are using. They can tell you what board topside temperature range the flux is designed for. Some other info is needed for the residue part. Is it showing up on the same board, or different boa

Dave F asked me for an update on the SRS we evaluated last month... I like this machine. Over 80% of your wave dross is actually good solder; you just can't get to it without some type of separating agent. I like the mechanical sepration method mu

hello colleagues, Hoping that everyone is doing well, I am reaching out to you in the hope that your experience can help me. We have a wave solder with sac0307 alloy and the pot has turned a golden color, at first I thought it was common tin oxidat
