Hi, Bill, Lead-free solder and paste manufacturers will be a great resource for you during the transition; they've tested their products extensively, and their application groups have been able to help me through the biggest changes. There are a fe

We're currently experiencing a spate of solder not wetting to pads of PCBs, and it's becoming more aggravating on a daily basis. At this point, we're running out of ideas. I've searched the Fine Archives for information, and, so far, haven't found

I, too, would bend it 90-degrees prior to assembly and I would also put on a little spring loaded, removable, heat sink on to the wire to stop the heat transfer up the wire. After the wire is soldered, then remove the heat sink. Try the one from Ra

I was afraid so. Hand soldering wires in general is not difficult, but with your constraint of the space restriction it does make fairly hard to do. I am assuming you have a 2 sided board and stranded copper wire. So once solder starts to flow, th

| | | | | | Greetings, | | | | | | | | | | | | Can anyone tell me what temperatures pcb's should have when coming out of a forced convection reflow oven and out of a wavesoldering machine. | | | | | | Also, is there any danger of the pcb's giving of

I have 15 very large backplanes (.156" thick Au plating) that the ground pins of a high density thru-hole connector were not thermal relieved in the artwork. As a result we are unable to solder the 8 pins that connect to the ground plane. We know t

Hi, We are currently soldering only connectors, so there is not that much to do. For the wave we currently use palettes as we solder PCI cards but don't want to wash. So the palette keeps the flux off the board. My reasons for looking at changing o

Hey ya'll!! SUCCESS! I was able to get that monster off!...(Now I just gotta' be able to get it back on right...hehehe) If you remember, the whole reason I had to rework it was because somehow they got the hole positions wrong in the board for

Silicone-based coatings "repel" most foreign,non-compatible materials like peelable solder mask, and rubber or vinyl boots. The result is, uncured material around the vicinity of where the boot was. Trust me. Been there and done that. As a rookie

| | | | | | | | I have always thought it to be a good practice to wash SMA's with water soluble paste (WS609) soon after reflow. Is there a time limit as to how long a board should sit after reflow before washing said board? For instance; processi
