Continuing with Darby's point, the surface area of the pin that is in contact with solder is HUGE. You could pound that pin with a 24oz ball peen hammer and not get it to release from the copper in that through hole.

Yup, you guys get it. My customer feels that the fillet is the ONLY joint made (seriously). They fail to realize the faying surfaces bond as well. I believe it's because their theory is "If we can't see it, it doesn't exist!" mentality.

Your customer needs to be beaten sensible with a copy of IPC-610. Strapping it to a 2x4 may increase efficiency.

Hose and/or Dave, Please elaborate of how the silicone can affect soldering. Material itself or fumes?

NASA is concerned about outgassing in high-vacuum environments. They select materials to minimize outgassing. http://outgassing.nasa.gov/og_desc.html

We are currenly looking at the JUKI 2050 and 2060 and the Siemens D1 and D2. Just looking for your input and if you have these machines, what are your comments? Thanks for any input.

You may want to also look at the I-pulse machines if you are in Europe as they are very good value compared to the Juki.

I hear Germany is pretty cool to visit. That's why my last company bought Siemens.
