This sounds like you are using a straight ramp profile. For this type of an assembly you may need to use a soak type profile. Most solder paste providers show you both types of profiles that work best with that paste. I would try using that profil

I believe DEK manufactures stencils that will do this. I'm sure their Apps. engineers could help you with squeegee material etc. good luck, pr

Rule 1: Clean it as soon as you see it! Don't let it dry. It's harder to clean up and can be easily injested when in a dry powder form. Rule 2: See rule 1

Thanks for the response. What I am looking for is what personal protection or other safety precautions should be used when cleaning the machine of paste/dross/dust. Any experience with this?

I'd like to see the rotary vane vacuum which could suck up a column of molten tin/lead 2 inches in diameter...

This phenomenon is caused by a high amount of halogens (Cl, Br etc.) used in the flux activators or in the flux surfactants. We've seen effects creating all colors of the rainbow. Changing to No-Clean (halide-free) will eliminate this color effect.

Patrick told you why, But here is some more info for ya, I would absolutely not recommend that wires be tinned with OA. The residue will never get cleaned underneath the insulation and all of your strands will strt to break in the near/far future.

I am looking for the same. IPC 610D does mention about the solder fill based on the class (A,B,C). But, there is no exhaustive study that I have come across. Please let me know if you find any. KT

This condition has been discussed on numerous occasions in this forum. Please do a search in the archives. Anyway, the manufacturing industry has been using lead free parts for at least ten years with lead paste. It is the other way around that is
