In the design stages, we have been asked about the difficulty in soldering a 4AWG (stranded) wire to a PCB for a high current application. Questions - can this be hand soldered normally? What about wave? Process will probably be Pb-Free. All opinions

We use the same oven for both Pb and Pb-free assemblies. We have been for about two years. We have not seen any issues with contamination. I can't imagine how any Pb would end up in a Pb-free joint in the reflow oven. The Pb doesn't vaporize, the

Hi, What would be the standard band width for Pb-free soldering? As per my knowledge this should be 3cm to 6cm. What is best?

Mr. Long, me lad, I don't follow. You say stuff about RoHS and all the banned materials covered by RoHS, but what is your theory on how banned substances can get on a RoHS board if you are running both Pb and Pb-free on the same oven?

1. If I go to the Pb-free solder paste, is it necessary that I have to change my reflow oven OR just by changing with respect to solder paste specification, I can reach my goal? 2. What is the �Low- Temperature Phase� in any solder paste alloy? 3.W

Just change the flux. I have had bad experience with IF2005

Hi Ken What exactly the best reffered angle for Sn/Pb & Pb-free soldering? Is there a site where I can read the basic engineering concepts about this topic?

In general two step temperature reflow process requires minimum 40 deg C delta to be sucessful. We are not using vapor phase soldering but we have similar situation when we change to SAC lead free solder for PCB component population and secondary swe

Band width relates to conveyor speed to achive a 2 second contact time for Sn/Pb wave soldering. A typical conveyor speed is 150cm/min with a band width (contact band width between PCB and solder) of 5cm. Now for Pb-Free wave soldering a longer conta

Hi, I see that the wave angle of the wave solder machine takes a major part on soldering SMDs if they are assemlbed with glue. To avoid the shadowing effect and bridging what would be the best angel of the wave for Sn/Pb & Pb-free soldering processs
