We agree with Pat, but it's far from straight forward. [er maybe we should say we don't understand it.] We duplicated the results of a posting on the web. Flux, then dunk copper wire into tinning pots set at 250*C for measured periods of time. The

What is the common practice for cleaning Tin/Lead and Lead Free solderpaste on stencils- some machines have filtration I'm told, so its not an issue according to the mfrs. On machines that don't have filtration do you run one after the other? Do you

| We have some SMT components with gold plated leads. They're actually LCC led packages. A good solder alloy to use would be Indium / Lead to reduce tin dissolution into the gold and avoid the resultant brittle intermetallic compound. However, a reco

First, responding to your question � Several things on copper dissolution in solder are: * A 50um copper wire will dissolve in 60Sn / 40Pb solder at: - 200�C solder in 55 seconds; - 250�C solder in 20 seconds; - 300�C solder in 5 seconds; - 350�C so

A while back, we had a yellow coating showing up on some solder joints at Selective Solder (LEAD alloy). I contacted the company for our machine and he looked into it. One change we had made not too long before is we switched from Superior 75 to Sup

Morning All, I have to choice between two axial through hole machines: Panasert AVK 3 and Universal VCD Sequencer 8. I will insert axial components with 0,45 mm to 0,8 mm component lead diameter and perform jumper wire insertion in the same machine.

We implemented an inexpensive home dishwasher solution last year for cleaning assemblies. It works very well for both lead free and tin/lead cleaning. DI water at room temp is all we do and the boards come out squeaky clean. We had to use the least
