Have anyone perform wave soldering on FR-2 and FR-1 printed circuit board with lead free soldering? Can you share the parameters(wave temperature,preheat temperature, contact time, wave height,etc,) used and did you do any changes to the wave solderi

So, no one is wave soldering 0603 succesfully? Not even teh wavemaster??

Is anyone wave soldering 0603 leadfree succesfully? We have no problems soldering them leaded, but lead free we see a lot of random skips and some shorts. We use SAC. We have tried different fluxes, flux settings, playing around with preheat, sol

Great as most Lead Free machines have the wrong angle on them 7 degrees is correct. So you are still exiting the wave in the middle of the pot then.

Every problem faced with (all) lead free alloys can be solved with 2 words �add lead� I'll keep it short don't want to sound like a broken record.

looks like my knowldge preceeds me again. I woud try a different flux. If it doesn't work - it will take a question mark away and your one step closer to total success.

you need to check your angle on this, can you measure and advise what you have cheers Greg York

The angle is a standard Soltec 7deg. We don't have the tools to measure this accuratly, but I do trust Soltec on this.

I have no experience, but you can find some possible tricks to upgrade your wave machine into a good lead free one at: http://www.comtreeinc.com/documents/lead-free-wave-soldering.pdf

Read your flux data, it will answer all of your questions
