Hi Everyone! I'm going to write a small article for our employee newsletter about the history of mass soldering. I did a search with Google and Wisenut, but found suprisingly few hits. I'm wondering if any of you have any good links that you could s

With all the respect I have for everybody on this site, It's always the same story when it's time to talk about lead free. You try to get specific informations concerning production but ... we only have general answer that everybody from SMT industr

Thanks Russ, very interesting. Are you working with a printer, PNP, reflow and wave? Did you change apertures in your stencils with lead free ? Concerning reflow, do you have a 5 zones, 7 zones ... ? Are you using the same alloys for solder paste

Just be aware of what Japanese had done. They do not stick to one alloy as it is impossible and depends on the constraint you are facing with. As for Hitachi, according to one advertisment put up in SMT magazine seems to me that they are going for

What type of alloy and at what temperature do you use for wave soldering? Do you need to modify your machine? I am using SCN but I have problem controlling my bath. Are you running on multilayer board or PTH boards? Do you face any fillet lifting

there is always risk in rework, multiple heat cycles, overall temp, physical damage, etc... As far as I know the risks are the same with a programmed part as with any other part. If there is great concern or multiple rework actions you may want to

We have an up coming job that has conductive ink deposits on the solder side of the PCB for contact switches and a zebra strip that connects to an LCD display. My question is... Do these need to be masked to protect them from the wave solder process

I am using a triad connector and have problem with wetting at both connector latches.Observed that the leads have very good shiny wetting however concerning the latches the solder just seem to disappear to thin airafter reflow.The connector has a gui
