Steve, How do you measure the resistance is it by probing the surface? Concerning the alloy there is a straightforward linear correlation between the tin content and the electrical conductivity of the alloy. The higher the tin content in the alloy,

Hi smtspecialist (man I gotta get me a name soon), NO! Your oven cannot contaminate your process. Unless you have flux residues dripping on your board, there is nothing to worry about. Now having your operators switch from leaded to lead-free smo

I don't think so. But I want to point out the amount of lead needed to contaminate a joint is microscopic. You won't have lead vapour in your oven and with a clean oven there probably isn't any other way for even a microscopic amount of lead to con

I think Mr Guru likes to smoke his joints leaded. Seriously, Soltec offers 'leadfree upgrade kits'. You should be fine with 8 zones, but if you don't have bottom heating, you might want to consider inserting some in your reflow (peak) zones. Give

We use the JBC irons with and without the "leadfree" tips. We really have not noticed much difference between the standard and the lead free. The lead free tips do last a little longer but the tips are somewhat deformed by the extra plating. As f

John, I have read some of the follow-up's to your question and I am having several dry-cabinets made. Each, for under $500.00. Mcdry, a subsidiary of Seika Corp. is a vendor that has a solid background with moisture-free storage units. If cost is an

The biggest fear is mixing the solder pastes and bar solder. Had a training program for teaching folks what the alloys are and how to read them. I have locked up the bar solder and use the buddy system to restock the pot. Put up many signs on le

Interesting... We had visitors from (maybe out of space) that claims that the fumes!!! from whithin the reflow leadead solder process in an oven can get caught inside the oven during time and later on when we fire up the beast to the lead free temp-p

Hi, John, Aerofeed Inc. is listed in Smtnet's Industry Directory as a manufacturer of nitrogen storage (desiccator) cabinets. You might try contacting them. They've got literature available to email you directly if you're interested. Bill
