We are getting an ESD epoxy floor in our plant. Could someone recomend a mat that would protect the floor from solder spills by the wave solder.

Kapton tape is heat resistant to tempratures accociated with wave solder process. If your process is not no clean then masking compound will work.

engineer at my compny locked me out of the machine for the selective solder. What is the password on ersa?

Did you mill your floor before applying the epoxy? All the ESD materials suppliers provide mats that are wave solder heat and materials resistant. ESD Floor Mat, Wave solder machine * All-Spec Industries; 5228 US Hwy 421 N.; Wilmington, NC 28401; 8

We have do away with Kapton tape many years ago, now using the Titinium clip for GF protection during wave soldering.

Yes, We have done away with masking with kapton 8 yrs ago. As long as the goldfingers are leading edge you can use one of these: 1. rubber goldfinger boot/glove - contact east use to carry them...don't know if they still do. 2. fiberglass glove - ma

We'd guess that you can wave solder your connectors, but check with the ink supplier, just to be safe.

We have an up coming job that has conductive ink deposits on the solder side of the PCB for contact switches and a zebra strip that connects to an LCD display. My question is... Do these need to be masked to protect them from the wave solder process

Entek is Enthone's OSP [organic solderability protection]. It is widely used in the PCB fabrication business. Imidazole (Via Systems) is good, but is not as widely available. Search the fine SMTnet Archive on: * OSP * Entek CU-56, Entek Plus CU-10

Problems with IPA are: * IPA / material being 'cleaned' combination still needs to be removed from the board. * IPA and empty containers are a hazardous material by RCRA criteria (40CFR 261) * Flash point (~12*C TCC) of IPA is low enough that all ele
