Samir, From experience, the only board test situation where tented via's have difficulty with contact is with a Flying Probe type tester. Otherwise, for traditional ICT, the force of the pogo pins, correct probe type, and fixture design should do th

Surely this is a job for Wavemaster Larry? Have you tried flux buster pins in your ICT yet? They are quite good at cutting through the crap on a board.

Hi all, There are no ground layers which makes the non wetting rate a bit confounding. The foam fluxer has not been cleaned in a while though, while there is a strong evidence of fluxing by running blank paper and looking up the top side

Well, im not sure what plane you guys are on, but I can back up my what im talking about. Ya see I wnet to Soltec traingin back in 1995 for our new wave. I got a diploma proofing that I know what i'm talking about. no one else in my company has on

Hi, I am having some PTH non wetting issues. Setup and chronology of events is explained: Set Up; Part: 1 MM pitch connector 378 pins Solder: Kester Ultra Pure 63/37 solder Pot; 250 C pre heat; Peak 94C top side Flux: Qualitek 775, Fluxer: foam T

Cal, thanks for the feedback. I've tried different adjustments to wave parameters with varying success. You know how wave is - what works today won't necessarily work tomorrow. ..and yes, we run Nitrogen on our waves.

You're a piece of work! Why don't you work for any of the major wave companies? So how does slowing the conveyor speed eliminate drying flux? And when you slow it down, what speeds it up to make you say "I lower the wave because I get shorts going

Hello, Assuming that your dwell and coverage at the wave are in order..... Have you checked the angle and pressure of your fluxer air knife? You can only count on capilary action to a point. The air knife, set correctly, will help get your flux t

better" doesn't make sense. Additionally with no preheat, primary side components see a large delta T when they hit the wave.

On the non-wetted holes put a solder iron to them and see if they "bubble" if so, you have some outgassing in your PCB and they will need to be baked prior to assembly. If this is okay I would investigate the grnd layer that was mentioned. What is
