Hello, I want to ask on suitable temperature profile for PCBs with ENIG final surface finish. I know that it is complex question with many unknowns. When the PCB will be standard 1,5 mm 35/35 Cu and the amount of components will have any influence o

I don't have any experinence with this, but my concern is that you are limiting the amount of contamination your pot can absorb before you ever run a board through. What I mean is that even if you are able to drain all but about a kg of the old sold

We did a tin bath on ours but it was provided for free by Nihon Superior so that is a no-brainer. It was better than taking a risk of having to dump the pot. If you cant get a free tin bath, then you should probably go ahead and fill it half way or s

Hi, The bath is titanium coated, and the machine is only 2 years old, and was designed for lead free, so we know we don't need to change anything. The reason the supplier gave for suggesting the bath change is "other companies are doing it" and it'

We are starting to see issues with using Kester WS R562 with lead free components. The joints look grainy on almost all of the 0402'2 and other small components. Some of the solder does not solder to the terminations. These are hybrid boards which

We are testing SAC paste for thru-hole components in the 2nd reflow process. The solder joint is alright but some problem encountered in FR1 or CAM2 PCB after multiple times of reflow due to the temperature. We are very interested in Zn or Bi-based l

Phil is wrong. In the real world, we know that part mfgers have not changed every one of their parts to make them "high temp". They just changed the plating. Anyone who thinks otherwise, has never run a profile or touched a warm board coming out o

My email mail machine couldn't send this to you ... Hi Stivais ... I didn't read the report. It seems to require downloading of a 'reader' of some sort. No thanks. If you would, just attach the report to this email. Regardless, energy-dispersive X-r

I searched the archives, found one thread with one response (my own, which went unnoticed since this forum doesn't bump threads when they get responses), so I'm hoping a resurrection of sorts will generate some input. Anyone using one of these syste

Hi Steve, What I came up with for our Soltec Sigma 6621 is to make a stainless steel wave solder bath insert.The insert with all its components eg. impeller, Chipwave assy, pump shafts, main wave assy etc. I will send for plasma nitride coating.Afer
