Check flux penetration and type of flux. How much is solid contents. The solder filling is better under Nitrogen. Check the time (speed) of the nozzle whether is correct. Usually For SAC305 the temperature of bath is 320C/degrees, but only for sel

It could be lack of preheat or flux. You can verify the flux by hand applying. I'll bet it's lack of preheat though. That's usually the case with selective solder.

I should specify that I am using SAC 305 as well.

I am doing lead free testing on a Vitronics selective machine with a 4 mm nozzle. The finishes I am testing are ENIG, ImSn, and ImAg. The problem I am encountering is achieving good top side wetting. Has anyone had any luck with this type of an ap

You will need to preheat the boards for a lead free selective solder process. A preheat module is critical for any wave or selective solder process, if you don't get the board preheated properly the solder is going to resist flowing to the top of the

We are having issues with top fill and dropping pins on Molex connectors with our KISS 101. Unfortunately we do not have a pre heater and bottom side pre heat with our nozzles is not satisfactory. Most of the issues occur when using a no clean proces

Try add a pre-heater. If not change the process or the machine. With KISS you will hardly get any PCB to work properly.

HOW THICK IS THE BOARD? IS THERE A LOT OF COPPER IN THE BOARD? DOES YOUR CUSTOMERS PROVIDE HEAT RELIEF IN THE BOARDS BARREL DESIGN THERE NEEDS TO BE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR LEADFREE SOLDER TO FLOW, DID YOU CHECK YOUR PIN(LEAD)TO HOLE (BARREL) RATIO? N

According to seho, for multi dipping the process window is very small and they would prefer drag soldering which has a wider window. What is your view on dip vs drag? Why? Other machine user also share the same suggestion?

"Can we reuse the same machine? My point here is that the non lead free process has already coated the machine interior ( exhaust, internal flow ) with leaded component, and by conversion to lead free are we containminating the lead free product from
