We've got a Novastar 12S wave solder machine and we've been using Kester 951 flux for years with no problems. We just got a new bottle of 951 and it does not foam correctly (thin foam with lots of large bubbles). After a lot of back and forth with

Check specific gravity: According to a quick web search, the specific gravity should be 0.813 ± 0.003. If you have records of the specific gravity, compare current reading to past readings. Check pressure near stone: if you have records, compare

If we understand correctly, your SMT solder connections remelt when passing through the wave solder machine and your QA-people don't like it when that happens. It's nice not to remelt this solder, but as long as the board meets your acceptance stand

Matthew: That you can get solder flow when hand soldering, but not when reflow soldering, seems to be telling you that you're not getting the connection warm enough during reflow. You need to have those connections liquidous + 20*C for at least 5 sec

Questions are: * When you rework these pads, can you get solder to flow on the pads with a soldering iron? * When you profile the board during reflow, what is the temperature on these pads as compared with other similar pads in the vicinity?

Hi All member I have a problem on the stable down the color of the white solder mask PCB. first, i tough the color differences was cause by the solder mask ink, but after a close look, the color change are cause by the copper under the solder mask

We are seeing PLCC socket leads not soldered in our SMT process. We are using a KIC thermal profiling device and we are on 50% greem light process window. All other solder joints on the board looks great. The solder flowed what looks like perfect on

We recently had a multi block panal change at the vendor Now the production lines are producing solderability defects in great number. The makeup of the pcb is a type of fiber glass mask green in color and pads with no tinning just copper lands.

Dave, They rework fine. All solder joints on the whole board look great especially for lead free sac305. Here are the reflow specs: SAC305 no clean solder paste – Kester EM907 Kic thermal profiling device – 50%process window green light profile. • M

Hi all Recentlt I encounter a issue, the solder paste was not dry after wave. Mostly happen and the end of the board. It is rare case, 1 day happen about twice. But to achieve our quality target, I still need to overcome this issue. I use Alpha OM-
