We use SAC387 (or 96SC) and I found that the SelectX was only marginally effective and that other factors (varying the wave height mainly - we use pallets) affected bridging more. Also, because we run different products at the same time through the

Hello All, My first visit here. I own and operate a small Industrial & Consumer Electronics Service Shop. There is more and more modules with high density fine pitch SMDs that we cannot handle. We bought PACE ThermoFlow BGA SMD station with a bunch o

Hello Bob, What makes this problem even harder for us is that we are not the manufacturer of this particular board. We are just performing re-works on them based on the issues they come in for, and thus refurbishing the unit. We are currently in th

I've owned two PDR Lightmaster IR rework stations (bought at 2 diff. companies) and have been extremely happy with them. Closed loop,separate control of top and bottom heater via non contact thermocouples. Control the process, not the product - set

Hi It's me again. Our products need to pass a chamber test 45c/36hrs after the PCBA completed batch of functional tests and assemble in to case. We found 1 unit was functioning for 24hours in the chamber, but hang after that. We tried to re-boot the

Lead Free in 5 zones is tough sledding. Start with your manufacturers solder reflow profile and calculate your belt speed by looking at the recommended heating time for the solder paste vs. the length of your heated zones. Set your belt speed so tha

Is the designer's concern that the parts will fall off when hanging upside down during reflow? We've been doing this for decades and our test if we think a part is marginal is to glue a 2nd (and sometimes 3rd) part to the back and send it through re

Hi Phil ... Here's a response from Heller Industries ... If I understand correctly you want to tight the tolerance window between set point and present value. Actually you can do so by lower down the warning band to 5C which is default 15C. Please

Thermal profiling typically requires a profiling kit, this will include a thermally insulated datalogger that follows your PCB through the oven connected to a number of thermocouples which you might affix to your PCB using heat resistant tape or usin
