We found stains on the boards come out of reflow oven. The board itself color changed to yellowish from white . We understand discolor soldermask due to high temperature. This can be acceptable by our customer not the stains. The stains look like wa

We have a problem with soldering of a 96 pin header connector(9001-11961c00l1a from kingmate) we use 3 different wave soldering but in all of the machines we have many short circuit between the pins . the wave soldering machines that we use is fr

The need to prebake boards to remove moisture from the board [to prevent voiding] prior to wave soldering is driven by the thickness of through hole plating. * 1 thou [25um] or greater requires no prebaking * LT 1 thou [25um] requires prebaking

What you are most likely dealing with: Insufficient Pure Sn layer ( multiple causes ) Because elevated temperatures accelerate the diffusion process, the thickness of the Pure Sn layer will reduce during every thermal cycle... ( bakeing PCBs, S

Hello Ramon, This is a very common problem that usually can be overcome. Can you tell me the flux type you are using (manufacturer, and flux number)? Has your board vendor, or type of PCB's changed (are they entec coated - bare copper)? What is t

Hi Ramon, We have had this problem before on our Seho Wave Solder Machine. We are currently using a spray fluxer as well. By imersing the PCB into the flux you stated you are getting good results. What you need to do is check your spray patter

We have asked the supplier use whiter soldermask taking more heat. We also asked the board supplier to double coat board with soldermask. All these tries failed. We are wondering if the stains are flux contamination.

It could be the flux condensed in the oven. We plan to clean the vent and filter next week. Then we see if help. I just want to see if anybody has same problem in experience. Soldermask supplier told us the same white soldermask always change to a l
