We had the same problem with one of our boards with ground planes so that it required preheat using a hotplate before hand soldering. Then I learned about the Metcal MX-5000 series soldering irons. I was skeptical at first but we can now solder the s

I think the asahi solder is coming out with their own irons if they get enough interest on this forum.

| Hi all, | I am new to SMT. In past I've made many PCB boards with my small hands at home, but I've used regular technology drilling the holes for the components. | I am trying to use SMT for my projects. SOP packages I was able to solder using a re

Oh you mean like the no heat soldering irons? I think they can also cook you a pizza while soldering wires.

The minimum vertical hole fill is defined as follows: Class 1: Not specified, with a 270-degree circumferential fillet and wetting on the secondary (solder source side) of lead and barrel, and a 75% coverage of the land area on the secondary side. Cl

Dave, Thanks for your responce. I think I can manage to solder components by hand. But I am trying to find out an alternative way to solder them. The distance between leads becomes very small and if solder gets in between them I will have hard times

Agreed. In my experience you will not wet solder to: Platinum Iron Constantine Tungsten Carbide titanium Chromalloy allomega alloy 303, 304 ...and the list goes on and on. You will either need to weld or braze. These are high temperature prcesses

I would like to recommend QUICK soldering robots as a BEST VALUE for hot iron table tops. Laser Soldering is not very friendly (FYI)

Hi all, I thought I'd use this forum to ask a couple general questions on fluxes for manual operations: First - Is it OK to use a wave soldering type flux (specifically OA)? Thinking about activation temperatures and the ramp rate of the wave solder
