My company is looking for a vacuum that can handle being used to clean up solder splashes on the bottom of our wave solder machines and around the solder pot area in our ERSA Selective Solder Machines. In the past we would use a Shopvac but these don

Dear C.K We are routinely wave soldering 0603 and sot23 on subcontract, hence we get what we are given!!. Being UK based we use a Blundell cms 400 dual wave soldering machine (made in Coventry), Tecan Stencils and Loctite 3612 adhesive. You must k

Hi everybody, We have wave solder fixtures made of Durapol and multiple wave solder machines. Most likely we�ll use the same pallets for either tin-lead or lead-free solder for a while (of course after washing the pallets). Should we test the palle

Hi Scott, Here is another thought. Check your wave solder machine visually. Does the wave flow on both sides of the nozzle? If not, you may have some dross build-up which may be causing your problem. Generally it will only happen on the very fir

Our two component suppliers use 99.5Sn/0.5Cu and 97Sn/3Ag solder (respectively) for tinning their leads. We use 98.9Sn/.66Cu/.33Ag solder in our wave solder machine. Is there any significant advantage to either tinning process regarding solderabili

We have seen solder joints that have an orange peel or textured appearance to them after running over our wave solder machine. We thought it may be disturbed solder joints but it does not have the lines or appearance that a disturbed joint usually sh

A couple of things that have helped me with solder ball issues at wave in the past: 1. Flux. Insure good flux coverage on the bottom of the board. 2. Preheat. Insure that the board is sufficiently preheated for the wave operation. Since you're

Chrys: I have checked all the basic elements of Wave solder joint formation: fluxing, preheating, and lastly soldering. For checking the fluxer, i used a product from ECD that's very similar to what you desribed called the flux-o-meter. It did a

for regular eutecticish solders, keep the pot temperature between 230�C [446�F] and 290�C [554�F]. If you polled us on our pot temperatures, we�d be all over the map, but with more lower than higher than you. High pot temperatures tend to generate
