| Does anyone have a suggestion for a UV resistant black potting material? The material recommended by a local vendor turned gray in a couple of months in the sun here in Florida. We are using L.E.D.'s in a small housing (about 1.2" cube) and need to

Here's the story: * Solder will melt and alloy with the solder alloy that you have in the pot. * Flux will smoke, smell and leave schmutz floating on the surface of the solder in the pot. While the amount of smoke, smell and schmutz are variables, b

Looking at the different Selective solder machines. Are there any process considerations with a moving pot versus a fixed pot. What about the angle and peel off on the moving pot?

We have an oMniflow 7 as well, and looking at the calibration procedure, it indicates that turning the pots ( total of 5 pots. 4 on the lower board and one on the upper board )fully counter-clockwise is the FIRST step of a series of tests. Then you w

Running a soldered BGA through a wave solder pot is very risky: * 230-240*C temperature of the pot could damage the device. * Solder in the pot will certainly cause bridging between BGA solder balls. * Solder in the pot could melt BGA solder balls.

All the pumps, chimneys, innards, and what-not need to be coated in addition to the pot, eh? Many equipment suppliers have "trade-in" deals to swap original pot assemblies with remanufacturered lead-free pot assemblies.

Hi, can someone give definition on pot life? does the pot life start once it's been taken out from fridge or the pot life starts once recommended thawing ends?

Need some advice. A relay in the Ol' Treiber went out to the wave solder pot, causing the temp of the pot to spike up to 800 degrees F. Since the machine wasn't in use that afternoon, it is possible that the pot was that hot for 4 hours before it wa

Biggest differnce is tooling. Tooling cost with a fixed pot - no tooling cost with programable "moving"pot. There are various way to control peel off with a moving pot. Depending on the machine, you can use either the Z axis or the actual pump spe

I recently witnessed a process in which the solder pot operator used Techspray WSOL water soluble masking to cover the areas around a connector that was to be soldered on the solder pot. He did not wait for the WSOL to cure. He soldered immediately.
