We used durastone, with a profile routed out to expose certain areas & protect others. Durastone costs peanuts, and the tool room uses a small cheap Micromat router.

Hi Ken, There may be different composites of Durastone, but there are certainly mixes out there that are. http://www.ascenteceng.com/resources/materials.html We used durastone as a carrier for flex circuits as well. Cheers, Rob.

I thought durastone was not ESD safe?

Hi Rob Can you please tell me where you can get durastone for peanuts as I find it quite expensive.

What is the best or ideal cleaning method for wave solder pallets? I have been using iso prop and am not sure if this is the cause for having brittle wall material. I wouldn't think alcohol would degrade the durastone material. Most of my pallets hav

On a wave solder pallet, we'd expect the metal parts that go through the pallet to be warmer than the pallet material, but we don't expect them to be warmer than the solder. We don't expect a well made board to blister at soldering temperature. So,

Necoleta, PWB Blistering/De-lamination may not be due for Titanium finished threads / holders which is typically being used to draw high Shelf Life of Pallets and even flow across Auto Wave Soldering rails. There is also nothing to suspect on Liquid

It is probably due to the solder mask being undercured and is porous alowing the flux to be absorbed which boils when it hits the solder wave that kills the adhesion. You should be seeing this only over copper traces/tracks. Reduce flux volume and in

Hi We have anew material that is very cost effective for solder pallets called Electro-Lock. You may find out more at http://www.rapidtool.com Kind regards dee claybrook

Hi all, I have a question regarding some wave pallets having metallic traces of Titanium. The solder mask is blistering in some locations on the PCB and I am wondering if this Titaniumn may have an influence by incresing locally the temp. Also we ar
