We use axial components together with some SMDs on the same board. Because the components have leads greater than .180 we have to Roto trim them after wave soldering. We are looking into avoiding the roto trimming of the boards, but we need to find

Morning all, can anyone recommend a wave soldering oven for use with lead free bars? Our trusty 20 year old Treiber wont make the grade without costly upgrades. Its time to let her go and buy into new technology. Any help would be appreciated. Thank

All, I am considering trying out the above to try and eliminate some of my defects on the wave process aswell as reducing cycle time etc. Incase of unfamiliarity with what it is : basically there is a Solder Preform present on the Header/Connector a

How big are the boards? I havn't done a lot with wave solder and I'm just wondering, how much solder these boards would use. Also I seem to recall being told that a thin layer of dross helps prevent more dross from forming. Of course this would not b

HI, just my 0,00001 cents Which preheat system does your wave solder has? for instance ? - IR ? - Bottom only ? - IR + Forced Air ? (bottom) - IR + Forced Air (bottom) IR top ? PCB thickness ? Appropriate preheat is important when looking to f

We have SnCuCo (Cobalt 995) solder from MRI in our solder pot. I'm not the wave master here, but I believe our wave master is pretty satisfied with it. Send an email to cuculi54986@yahoo.com, and I'll forward your email address from there to him.

I just converted our waves from an old alcohol-based flux to a new VOC-Free Water-based flux. The results have been startling. However, the ladies at post-wave inspection are complaining that the solder joints are too shiny, and it hurts their eyes

I would suggest an Electrovert EPK Plus. It is cheap, easy to maintain, and Electrovert provides good support. You can get a refurbished lead free EPK for less than 50k. They usually come with USI spray fluxers, which is a pretty good thing, and c

I don't do wave soldering but want to see if I understand the question here. Do you want previously soldered component joints melting when you wave a board? I don't think you really want that? Or is it you want to avoid it? Are you talking SMT parts?

Thank you all for your feedback. Our backside are 99.9% with passive components. However, we do have a lot of through hole components on boards. To go totally selective soldering the equipment can be quite expensive. Most of the time, we left the com
