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

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

Oh you mean like the no heat soldering irons? I think they can also cook you a pizza while soldering wires.

A while back we checked out all our manufacturing equipment for lead free capability, we thought our soldering irons would all be fine as they can reach temperatures well in excess of lead free alloy melting points. Last week i was speaking to someo

Apoligies Steve if I did not explain myself clearly. We have made the same design using the same RoHs compliant components (which I am assured by the suppliers are process temperature capable) with both lead and lead free solder. Without wishing to
