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

You mentioned that you changed the layout some, and this can be essential in this type of process. If the SMT parts and TH leads have inadequate spacing on the bottom side, shorts may be inevitable (someone else will have to advise what the recommen

Hi, I will focus on the flux one more time. Try different amount(usually more flux should give you better result). Also depends what kind of flux you are using? Water based or alchohol based? Try with another type that you are using. Check the spee

Hello guys, I´m pretty new on pcba process and I´m writing to see if you can help me, we have combo process om pcb for UPS boards and we are facing a lot of shorts after wave the boards. We did few tests with different fluxes different profiles chan

I am new to wave soldering. Any information is greatly welcomed. Here is the problem. After soldering the boards they have a film on the bottom of them and sometimes a white powder looking substance. I have tried decreasing the amount of flux on

Hey all! The wave solder warrior is back. I have found a flux which leave almost no residue (the least yet), but because of its super low solids content I absolutely cannot get topside fillets. The multi-layer, two sided board is on a pallet w

I need to first understand what "Peeled the BGA off" means. Was heat used? was this the pry and lift method? We had shorts under some BGA's we have and the solder was bridging from lead to lead but not on the board level at the FR4 on the BGA creati
