Hi all: We are seeing "solder webbing" on the bottom side of some of our PCBs after wave solder. The solder is sticking (like a spider web) to the solder mask on the PCB. This is only happening on 2 of the many PCBs we wave on that machine. Both o

Rich, From my experience, few causes of capacitor cracking are: - mechanical stress caused by pick'n place nozzles and chucks. Try to isolate and find cracked caps before boards go thru reflow or wavsoldering. - thermal stress by reflow pro

| I have a single-sided board with test vias that pass through the board. The test vias are pasted and reflowed with the SMT components on the top side. When the boards are wavesoldered, the solder coverage on the vias is spotty. Some will sold

I have a proto-type PCB with a 48-Pin Fine Pitch TSOP (0.5mm pitch) with a dimension of 19mm L x 11.50mm W x 1.10 Thickness. They are at the bottomside of the PCB and I need to wave solder the board. There are 8 of them at the bottom side. Are they o

| We are anticipating switching from RMA to OA flux for both reflow and wavesolder in the next few months. If you use a batch cleaner running DI water only I would like to hear your experiences. How is it for cleaning under low standoff components

| Has anybody had experience wavesoldering 1 watt 2512 resistor packages?? I know it can be done, but are there reliability issues? | | We are in the middle of a new product and the question was posed to me "Can we use 2512 1 watt resistors on the

| Are square pads more difficult to wavesolder than round pads? | I am referring to a through hole board. | Usualy square pads are for indication of pin 1 on a DIP for example. There might be a difference in the capilary affect due to a different su
