Istvan, The advise from both Roni and Mike sounds right on the money. The problem is most likely that your PCB is not completely dry (the flux has not completely evaporated) in the area where these solder balls occur. You have a number of differen

Anyone have problems wave soldering white tin finish? We are an ems and our customer provides us the pcb's. SMT and TH components on the board. SMT is fine but when we wave solder, wetting to top side is very poor (solder only flows half way up). We

Annular rings are too big, it is acceptable to have shorts on the common conductors. I would be willing to say the "other" supplier may have modified the artwork as well. Good fluxing, preheat and proper immersion depth are key to eliminating short

Hello, I was looking at your photos of this diode. I have a two question and I'm sure it maybe a simple fix. One, Is the diode actualy touching the pad;reason I ask is, I see that theres excessive amount of adhesive underneth the part. Two, did you

We used fluxes: Cobar 94-QMB (no bismuth), RF800, Cobar94RXZ-M, with foam and spray fluxers: MBO clean alloy SN63PB37.experienced with changing preheatting, speed of covoyer single and double wave., we tried every combination. I think the problem is

We bought the lead free pots for the Ersa machine and change back and forth. We had a lot of problems running SAC305 in the Ersa. It seems to create a ton of dross and you need to frequently clean and flux the nozzles. I would really like some feed

Your thinking is correct. Wave soldering pads that were designed for reflow can create problems: * Large pads used for reflow [too much solder] can create reliability problems. * Bridging [too much solder] creates rework. * Skipping & shadowing from

just check if the pad and component terminal was traces of solder, if have? try to reduce preheat temp and solder bath temp... reason why solder not adhere because of component lead type, if more heat you apply solder flows and not completely adhere.

We are using SAC for reflow because of the lower temp and better wetting and copper disolution is not so much an issue in reflow. There is not much difference in the alloys and they can be mixed with no problems. I assume any supplier of SN100C cou

Yes, it's fine - as Pete says you have to replace certain parts & either get the pot recoated or a new one. We ran a "Lead free" 6622C from Vitronics Soltec on Tin Lead, then it was cleaned up, recoated and loaded with a no-lead alloy with no proble
