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?

..and he can put the flux in and keep it a secret too from his customer.. RSS profile on wave?? I never heard of a soak zone for wave preheat...you may be burning off your activator..hence, the beads. For wave preheat, your main goal is to ramp up

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

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 am experience problems while testing wave soldering SMT components that are glued on the solderside (lead free). Between de leads of SOx type IC's and SOT's develop a great deal of solder beads. I have been using a RSS temp.profile while spr

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.

MF300S is quite an old flux, & a lot has happened since then on the flow solder front - are you sure it's designed for Lead free, or is it just a traditional flux that SHOULD work OK with Lead free?

Sounds like your flux to me. Since you cannot change the board or the machine, changing flux would be one question mark you could take away with a phone call and a sample. You will really be surprised how different fluxes can affect your final prod

You are right, RSS profile is not the correct description. I am using a profile which heats up quickly to let the flux spread. Next linear up to activate the flux and prevent thermoshock. My experience is however, that small changes in this profile

Blew chunks - thanx for thinking outside the box. Of course there's two sides to every story. Just last week I had a new operator "splash" a couple of boards. Top solder was great, it was all one big solder bridge. Come to find out, the operator forg
