Key Issue: Will this machine solder your boards? You never know until you solder one. Any other avenues of analysis involve substantial risk. Flux Selection * High or low solids * VOC or VOC-free Solder Alloy * If using lead-free, avoid stainles

Bet your using tin/ lead plated components with a lead free Cu/Ag/Sn alloy. It leads to intermetallic cracking. Wow didn't anyone tell you to check the archives yet, It seems to be the answer given to everyone. Why have an interactive site if you alw

Hello, Could anyone provide some support concern issue with vertical fill of through hole solder. Our lead free wave soldering process is not capable to fill 100% (requirement of our customer)through hole. We made everything (DoE) - different amoun

There is evidence of lead being used in soldering 5000 years ago in Mesopotamia. Not a big issue for most people doing SMT but the poster should also understand why percent metal is adjusted for different solder paste alloys. You print by volume b

Hi Everyone, I am just curious, is there a guidline that people follow for choosing their lead-free solder paste? In other words, how do people know whether they should use Indium alloy, or Castin (Sn/Ag/Cu), or whatever else? Thanks

There are several implications: - some lead free alloys do not form an acceptable solder joint when used with lead contaning paste. (ie. Bismuth) - if you use both lead free and lead containing components, you will have different solder joint compos

Tin/Lead we have had no problem in masking off areas on a pcb during wave soldering. Lead Free alloys, Nickel Silver Copper would there be any compatability issues with a Peelable latex solder mask containing Ammonia. Really hot need to know.

Depends on your specific application. Can you handle lower reflow temps? Can your parts handle higher reflow temps? What environment will your assembled product have to endure? Lot of different factors come in to play when choosing the right allo
