While not familiar with the flux, I'd increase the conveyor angle in a New York Minute.

Russ, Roger that. Thanks.

I am glad this thread is still alive as I have a concern. I have just entered the wave soldering business after many years in smt. After wave I am getting icicles or flags on my component leeds. My temps seem to be all with in spec as does my NC flux

How are these connectors and dips oriented? If the leads are parallel as opposed to perpendicular to to the wave this can promote bridging depending on spacing and length. The long leads showing icicling are most likely either inadequate heat OR the

Dave, I do have the mechanical drawings but no electronic versions. After looking at the cost of setting up for N2 I decided against it for now, BTW. If you think about it, having an air knife on this nozzle would tend to negate the negative effec

There's a boat load of causes for icicles. Favorites are: * Conveyor speed too high * Conveyor angle too high * Contaminated solder

One other thing you may want to look at is your nitrgen settings and the difussers. If you don't have them correct, you can also see bridging and icicles.

Correction: The Ultrapak (UPK) 600 and Electra models allow for conveyor incline adjustablity from 4 to 7 deg.

I would go for the laminar flow as opposed to N2. The contour nozzle doesn't really work all that well even with N2. I knew I should of asked you if you had a contour, I was thinking laminar flow hence the dynamics input. Russ

Hoss, if you have trouble with finding the parts you need this guy can probably help. He's our local rep for speedline/electrovert. Jeff Howe - AMTI 303-748-4242 jeff@amtireps.com Russ
