Thanks Dave for the right methods that will get Patrick out of his mess. As long as one is a "Do it yurselfer". I still advocate having the supplier accept responsibility and clean the boards. After a bit of elbow grease, some cussin' and lost time I

On the slect solder machine, what type of solder do you use bar or wire? How offten do you dross? How often do you clean the nozzel? Do you run different size pcb's? Are there any in Austin Texas or the area that we might see in action? How hard is t

Thanks, ehab! Was there any special training involved for the programing? Also, how much maintenance and clean up time is required? And, how many different products do you run across the machine? The line we'll be using it on runs quite a variety

Hi all, I'm would like to try intrusive reflow (pin in paste, paste in hole, etc.) on a connector using WS-609 solder paste (halide free, water-washable). I'm concerned about entrapped flux in the barrel of the solder joints. If there were to be e

Which companies would you consider for protective coatings, (conformal coating) and other levels of protection? I am taking a fresh look at alternatives. Know any good tests for testing compatability of coating with flux - aqueous or no clean? SMT

I also recommend that you take a peek at the archives, as stencil cleaners have been discussed a number of times. I also recommend that you check with your stencil manufacturers to determine exactly what cleaning process parameters are acceptable to

I am finding transparent fibres , specks or needle shaped threads inside my via holes. I am not sure these are fibre glass / epoxy or flux. I do not find many on bare board. The flux used is NC Low residue and this assy is Single sided . Presently

I agree with all the previous comments. You need an XRay system with good software capabilities to "clean up" the images, but you also need to interperate the results and training/experience comes into this. Get free trials first on a machine like CR

A number of years ago I used a Kester product called Solder Saver. It is a thick liquid that one squirts onto the dross on a hot solder pot. It separates out the solder leaving a crust of almost clean dross. Unfortunately a mask is still required. Th
