yeah we are getting quotes on a new solder pot, we have used that paint we tested a small sample of it with solder and it seems to be ok, we are doing a full solder alloy change in about two months so we will have a chance to inspect the solder pot a

Selective Soldering Frames can pull large amounts of heat from the solder wave at the point of contact, effectively lowering the temperature of the solder at the solder joint. You should confirm the temperature of the solder joints by running a therm

Hi, 1. do not use flux-cored wire- the smell is bad and flux will evaporate anyway at the time of solder wire melting. 2. as suggested use solder bars, something like this: https://smtnet.com/company/index.cfm?fuseaction=view_company&company_id=39635

What type of flux are you using today? - Obviously you have already outlined the difference in the parent materials and parent material preparation, so using the same program/profile will not work; the characteristics are different. Try increasing p

Does your paste provider recommend a TAL? For the leaded and lead-free pastes that we use, the manufacturer recommends 60 seconds above liquidous. I note that your profile shows the TAL as 30 seconds, which may not be sufficient. That said, tho

Hi Zac, My 2 cents: We had similar problems on a board in the same situation (tin-lead HASL, very long leads, low pot height, high pump RPM). Trimming the leads shorter, moving the pot closer to the board, and dropping the pump speed down to sane

Looking at picture 20170801_095540.jpg, the leads look pretty long to me. This would cause you to have to lower your solder pot so that they don't get hung up. Have the leads cut to ~0.150" (0.200" max) long and then raise your pot up.

That may just be an optical illusion. I've just measured and they're cut to just over 4mm (0.157"). The pot is at the level specified by the manufacturer (5mm from the bottom of the PCB if I remember correctly).
