5 Steps to Eliminate Bridges: 1. Establish (wave) Parallelism First and foremost, you must establish board-to-wave parallelism. This is the prerequisite to any wave solder process control. For an understanding of the power of this approach go to ht

Hi, I have a lot of solder bridge in our wave soldering process.We use SACX0307 and Surf 11 flux.the SW mashine is Vitronics delta 6622.Itry to change flux and termoprofile but results is not god.Can you halp me - recommend me some flux or other adv

First of all, more info is needed. Solder shorts can be caused by much more than flux. Is the solder short always in the same spot or all over the place? More detail please.

This is funny. Poeple giving answers to a question that isn't specific. What if the shorts he is having are on the top of his board, caused by flooding or Omega wave too high?

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,me lad. Wave solder is like an onion, it's got many many layers. Kind of like me-self. I'm a big ogre with many complex layers. At any rate i like the other colleague with his adverstising trigger finger. by golly, me chap, he's a

I recently had the same problems, solder bridges on every thing I made, different customers boards, etc. I wave with no-clean flux. As I sorted out problems (pin holes, blow holes, splatter, etc.) I found a lot of variable factors. I changed flux,

I made my own wave measuring device using KIC2000 system. KIC2000 has automatic wave detection, so now I have a profiler for both reflow ovens and wave solder. The delmat carrier only cost $500. A guy, Samir, from this forum gave me the idea, actu

As someone with a LOT of experience with the "low cost" alternative alloys, primarily SACX, I have one simple question....Are these shorts a new phenomena? WAS your process in control, and all of a sudden it's not? If the answer is YES, take a look a

We don't think your voiding is related to your bridging. We'd guess: * Voiding is either poor material selection or improper process recipe choice * Bridging is sloppy process management

Certainly the bridge is ugly, but the voiding is nothing that you should be bragging about either. Pretty ugly work. BRIDGING: If all of your shorts appear in the vacinity of the heat sink, consider reducing the amount of paste that you apply there.
