Does anyone know if there are specific tools designed to remove fingers from the wave solder rails? Thanks

Gold finger connector over a wave solder, what would be the best way to protect the fingers from solder.This is a high volume job.

What does your equipment manual suggest as the proper method for removing fingers?

If the gold fingers are pad types which plug into expansion slot connectors, I have used a titanium guard attached to the wave conveyor over the solder pot, which allows the PCB to connect to the fingers but masks the solder from the gold pads along

Second the motion for the Stevens Products covers. They call them Gold Fingers Gloves and they are a pull-truded fibreglass product that comes in sticks. You hacksaw them to the length needed. We have many that have been through the wave thousands o

HI Tony: We have the same case last month & we tried to fold a little sheet of metal (stainless steel I guess)on the fingers edge & it has worked perfectly. Only one fault among more than 1000 Pcs & it was referred to a manual error. You can try it,

Tony: Have a mask applied by the boardhouse which can be removed after soldering. We worked with pallets or tape but had bad luck with some boards. At present I would prefer a mask. M2C Wolfgang

Wolfgang: What is the mask material? What type of process/tools are required to remove it? Approximate cost per PCB?

Hi Morris, Not that I�m forced to do it at the moment but if I had to again in the future I would try a different way and than look for a masking method that goes along with our other processes. I�ve just seen this in board houses and they offered u

Hi We use a U-channel piece of high temperature silicon which is just pushed over the gold tabs before the soldering process. The silicon can be used over and over again. The advantages are that there is no mask on the board during the SMT process a
