Hi all, we're preparing for the switch to lead free and I was wondering how dangerous/harmful to our new wave oven it would be to run tin lead parts through the no lead wave. Will the lead build up and cause issues?

Causes of dewetting in conformal coating. Factors that influence dewetting usually involve non-ionic contamination such as: * Residues from board manufacture including silicone surfactants from solder resist & HASL rinse contamination * Component res

ASTM E 443 is a test for sulfur by Oxygen Flask Combustion. Other instruments will detect sulfur (I assume a SEM with EDS capability will pick up the sulfur). We had an addition cure silicone potting compound inhibition problem last year that was t

SN100C is designed not to corrode your pot, and can be used on standard solderpots (after a proper clean out), whereas SACX is still corrosive and if the coating is compromised then could cause problems. Get it in writing from the supplier that the

Now, I'm not going to talk solder balls, in a traditional sense. I have an image of bilbous, globs of excess solder near the ends of PTH leads. If that's not what you have, ignore the following [and help us understand your situation better] ... Yo

Curious, but thoughts are: * Your pretinning pot is loaded with gold that has been removed from lead over a period of time * Your failed solder connections are caused by something else other that gold intermetallics * Your tinning process is undiscip

Dross removal is dependent upon the "activity" in your solder pot and the usage of a inert or an "air" atmosphere. The more moving that agitate the solder, the more dross. Basics first and then the answers will make sense. What is dross? Oxidatio

Yes why did the Electroless Nickel layer split this is the ROOT cause. My guess is still that the resist was slightly miss registered over the copper and therefore poor adhesion of the Nickel ensued OR like I said originally the resist had contaminat
