I am new to wave soldering. Any information is greatly welcomed. Here is the problem. After soldering the boards they have a film on the bottom of them and sometimes a white powder looking substance. I have tried decreasing the amount of flux on

Jerry, If you�re sure your board has sufficient flux it must be that your slow flowing (single lambda) wave produces more oxides then the flux can handle. Due to the conveyer angle the front of the board usually has less flux then the back of the bo

Square-leaded pin headers will typically bridge at the trailing edge (last couple of leads), since during peel-back, the solder at the trailing edge has "nowhere to go". If you have control over designs, ask your designers if they can put solder thi

I agree with RealChunks. The application of any of these "wave solder process control tools" is dependant on how the shop is run. At some shops, PM is inconsistent and slacked off on. At other shops, there is no technical expertise at the operator

Robert: Several points: 1 Dross is a mixture of various things with no "fixed" composition: � The obvious things are metal oxides mixed with metal and this can vary in color with temperature and composition - remember some intermetallic oxides form

We've got lots of connectors at my place of employment like this. What I do is... I run these "slower than molasses in January" - we're talkin' 2 Ft/Min. conveyor speeds. Obviously this will have an effect on your thermal profile so compensate acco

I am having problems achieving correct pre-heater temperatures with our Hollis solder wave. Our original "Verification Golden board" program uses a conveyor speed of 5ft per minute and pre-heat temps of 300, 350, 400 respectively. Our "golden Board"

With DIP type components, a sub-par fluxing method (foaming a no-clean), and a chip wave where one is not needed are formulas for bridging and insufficient wetting. If you have SMD's on the wave solder side of the board greater than 0603, and no SOT

We picked up this old (circa late 80s) Seho 1135 machine last year for next to nothing. It needed a bit of TLC to bring it back to working order but it's 99% working now. The only problem left is that we cannot get sufficient height from the delta wa
