Try this: * Lay the board onto a solder pot with the via in question on the heat. * Push the wire into the via. * Step back and pat yourself on the back. Since you probably have components in the area of the via that you don't want to cook, try a va

Hi Wow, Sounds like a neat problem. As an other idea try inserting the largest wire you can get in the hole and heating the free end to wick solder up the wire away from the hole. I probably like the solder pot with a small nozzle the best so it h

We use itty bitty drill bits in these cases. You can get one from your PCB supplier. Be careful they break easy. Russ

I'm trying to solder a 0.011" lead into a 0.015" +/-0.003" hole. Stop laughing please. This is normally possible with difficulty, except if the lead is removed and the attempt is made to re-install a lead. Anyone have thoughts on how to remove nea

We are currently in a Clean solder process (SMT+Wave Solder+Washing). Now our management is planning to convert to a No-Clean process in SMT due to limitations of solder availability and reduction of washing process. Question1: Is it possible to was

definitely don't mix clean and No clean. Run No Clean as you decided, but have your flux and paste manufacturers advice, how this flux can be cleaned(if you decide or required to clean). I know for a fact that some of these NC flux residues are almos

We recently got a batch wash machine that can use a chemical cleaner. (not a saponifier). NOW I feel confident cleaning no clean boards. Without a machine that can heat water and use a proper cleaning agent, I would not trust cleaning no clean boards

Your fluxes are required to be compatible per J-STD-001. I wouldn't even attempt mixing no-clean (rosin) and clean (assuming water soluble) fluxes on the same assembly, especially if the fluxes are from two different vendors. If your paste and liquid

I have a 5lb roll of .125" flux core 63/37 solder that I want to melt into a solid slug. Can this be done without making a huge mess and lighting something on fire ?

I'm not sure, but may be you can exchange it with someone, who need solder wire like your?
