Hi Mike, Surface mount components arn't difficult to work with at all. They have pretty much the same tolorance to heat degridation as Dip packages. I suggest two Irons when working with two pole resistors and caps. Heating only one end at a time wil

It sounds like you already know the answer. Hand soldering is much more stressful to a board than mass soldering, because: * It is more localized and there is no preheat. * It is more difficult to control. [Different connections require different h

Mika, 1.) Is there a maximum board thickness where it would be almost impossible to get a decent hole fil? Answer: The thicker the board the further the solder has to travel and the more you depend on solderability of boards and components, machine

OK, this is easy. You say HIGH fall out, so I can assume 25 or 50%? If so, run 10 without the heat gun and 10 with. This should show you if the heat gun process is the cause or not. If the relay is a surface mount, hand solder them on. If it's a

Depending on model and/or series, each one has it's own specific manufacturing guidelines you must meet in order to get a successful solder joint. Then you must couple that to what your soldering process is. Assuming you are talking all thru-hole,

Hi RJK, 2.5 years ago, I pointed out the exact same thing you did now. (please see the below link) http://www.smtnet.com//forums/index.cfm?fuseaction=view_thread&CFApp=1&Thread_ID=7076&#Message28261 I am a competing brand's rep for 3 years, but p

Having the last two zones at the reflow temp (spike) is typically done on long ovens (10 zone) running at high conveyor speeds. This enables you to achieve peak temp and TAL as per the solderpaste specs at high production rates. Concerning reverse sp

"Hidden pillow" seems to be a a variant of "pillow effect" or "head in pillow". Pillow effect is an open, with non-wetting between the lead and the solder on the pad. Here the lead sags into the solder without any bonding or wetting. Poor wetting c
