Preheat is a option that we use on almost all boards. We have the pillarhouse jade models.

We are having difficulty with bridging on a 2x50 pin 0.050" fine pitch connector using our selective soldering machine. It usually bridges at the end of the row, but sometimes it bridges all the pins together as it drags across (solid bridging). I

Glad to hear we have more Jade users on the forum! What kind of flux footprint is your fluxer leaving on the board? You called it a "spray" fluxer.. We use the MIC fluxer that functions like a jet fluxer. Do you flux each individual lead or do a

We have recently bought two new Pillarhose Jade selective soldering units. We are having a extremley hard time keeping the nozzels wetted while running the machine. I know that the nozzels are 99 percent iron. Has anybody ran into this problem, if

We're using a Pillarhouse for all of our Pb free. JADE I believe is the model. Good little machine, pretty easy to program and maintain.

Looking for some Recommendations for a Selective Solder machine. We currently have a KISS103 no pre heater. We are high mix low volume, so batch is most like best option. I have used Pilerhouse Jade MKII years ago. Wondering what other option pe

We are using Kester 985M in our Pillarhouse Jade. We only run SnPb, but this is a newer formulation of flux that is suitable for both lead and lead free alloys. Call the manufacturer of your selective soldering machine and get their advice. They ty

We also have a pillarhouse jade but opted for Kester 959T. The low solids content allows us to use a very small shot of flux thus resulting in low residue on the boards with great solder joints. Solderability is still good but had better results with
