Call me jaded, but this sounds suspiciously like the classic "our other supplier didn't have this problem" but the other supplier was hand soldering the headers, and finally requoted the job with that in mind so the customer moved on. Granted, ther

Thanks guys. Here are more details. The cards are essentially the same. They use the same connectors, same footprint, the traces / layers would be comparable etc. The difference between the 2 we see is that one is laminate - Rigid Metal Clad Base, Ty

We are having difficulty with bridging on a 2x50 pin 0.050" fine pitch connector using our selective soldering machine. It usually bridges at the end of the row, but sometimes it bridges all the pins together as it drags across (solid bridging). I

Preheat is a option that we use on almost all boards. We have the pillarhouse jade models.

We're using a Pillarhouse for all of our Pb free. JADE I believe is the model. Good little machine, pretty easy to program and maintain.

This has already been done. Companies like Seho Selective Solder machines can provide this service. I imagine it is not cheap. I'd be curious to compare the drop rate of parts per person per hour on a couple of Pillarhouse Jades vs on custom machine.

Is anyone out there having issues with the new improved pumps requiring weekly disassembly? Our nitrogen ppm is at 6 pressure is 85 to 95 psi. We replaced and adjusted the nitrogen supply valves. Thanks

I have been very happy with Pillarhouse. Exact model for you would depend a lot on batch vs inline. We are using the Jade Prodex.

I think machine selection depends upon your application (pitch, volume, changeover from pb to pb free etc...) I have experience with ERSA and Pillarhouse Jades. Both very good in their own right. Pillarhouse are relatively cheap, and quick to chan
