I haven't tried anything like that but had some experience with .8 mm pitch SSOPs. Immersion depth in wave was very critical- had to control Lambda pump speeds within 20 RPM and even then it would change as solder level dropped. Need thieving pads o

Steve, I have to support the comments made by Dave F. Provided the surface mount parts on the second side are correctly orientated and not too close to any adjacent through hole leads then the best option has to be to print glue then wave solder. T

Ersa Versaflow has a nozzle we use for soldering 70 pin connectors, with smt parts 3mm from the leads. As far as soldering through hole (without the tight SMT parts)It's reliable, easy to program and very good quality joints. Your advantages are spee

| | I hope that someone can help me with my problem! I am experiencing a lot of glued on parts falling off in the wave solder machine. A little information about my process: 1)We use Loctite 3609 glue that is used up long before its shelf life 2)Ou

I do not mean big, heavy transformers but rather small ferrite core transformers, with ferrites in the range of EF16 .. EF40. The weight of the lead and its percentage of the total weight is not the issue here. We simply do not want lead-containing t

I have processed the following materials in lead free processes: CEM FR1 FR4-120 FR4-140 FR4-170 Each material has different responses to thermal stresses. Issues to consider are: Panel size, smt only, wave only, double sided smt...and smt / wave

Hi, Does anyone have guidelines on minimum SMT component spacing for bottom sided wave soldering? I am looking for general rule of thumb in wave soldering bottom side SOTs, 0805 & 0603s. How about minimum through-hole lead to pad distance? Peter

Milroy, Another thing to look at is your wave profile. Check speed and pre-heat, if flux gets burned off before reaching the wave then bridging is expected, a common way to check for speed is to time the point of first contact through the sub-merge

KA, Joshua makes a good point. A wave solder fixture will allow you to process your double-sided boards without having to add the epoxy step. The one time fixed cost of a fixture is quickly offset by the time that you save by not gluing your SMT.
