This sounds a lot like a profile that is killing flux activity prior to wave immersion. What is your topside preheat temp just prior to hitting the wave? What type of preheat do you have, convection or radiant? Are you using a chip/turbulent wave

So, a 10SWG is about an 8AWG. We can't think of a IPC standard for design of this type of product. That the solder is running up the wire indicates something is wrong. We wonder if either: * Holes in the board might be too large for the wire. Doe

Dear Eric, in my opinion this is a very complex problem, that require to know many details for answer. For example : 1) what about the PCB finishing ? Have you verify the quality of they ? 2) what about the solder paste (the exactly composition)? 3)

Here is some further information on SDSRS process, but please purchase a copy of the report from t he SMTA as all the money goes to charity. In the UK the SMART Group raised over �3000 for the homeless. SMTA have been raising a lot of money for the G

We have a new PTH board that utilizes lap pads on the B/S. Some of the pads are paired closely together and are aligned at angles (30,45,60 degrees)to the boards direction of travel through the wave. The pads most always bridge together. I realize th

Hi delnosa, Sorry about being 10 days late - don't get to the bottom of the page much. I'm working of layering flex circuits sandwiched between FR4 layers. The flex is primarily designed to take the place of interconnects like yours. I work in ap

This is not about the physical laws but besides contamination, which will actually IMO cause NO WETTING, it is quite vital that the time-limit the flux is active is not exceeded during your reflow process. Depending on your paste/flux you will have a

I'll try swaping cards and see if the problem follows the card. So far, my guess would be the motor going bad. I did change the brushes, X wagon cables and every cable that goes to the midas unit. But that didn't fix it. The problem is that to replac

Have to agree with Sr Tech and Spoilt - you'd have to really mistreat your paste these days for it to be the root cause. However, try another paste to eliminate that; making sure you abide by the suppliers specs. Pad design, stencil design,(includin

I don't know about that paste, but I can give my experience trying intrusive reflow (pin in paste). Using standard Lead-Free paste, we often had issues. It seems that many ROHS parts can't actually handle reflow ROHS temperatures. So the fact that
