You should also remove all the pump parts and clean them, checking the bearings and seals. Clean completely the parts that allow the solder to flow back into the pot; ours have a spiral that fills with dross. Treat yourself to new nozzles. Tinning

Hi Everyone, I searched and found some old comments about the Novastar machines. I was wondering if anyone has purchased a newer one and used it for Lead Free? If so what do you think? We currently run 2 Technical Device machines (leaded) and hav

Hi Kevin , we use frequently double reflow + selective soldering after , and try to avoid the glue process as much as possible because that 's not very reliable process in comparison to reflow process . We begin now to work on PTH components soldered

It's a typical answer from a board fabricator - 'None of our other customers have these problems'. But, and correct me if I'm wrong, none of the other customers uses the same PCB's as you do! Your preheat-parameters looks OK - they should not be giv

| | To aid in heat dissipation of our PCB, we would like to try having copper fill areas on the board that are hot air levelled and not covered with solder resist. Then, when the board is reflowed, solder paste would be applied and then solder. Has a

| During inspection and test we find leads which do not get soldered. Some are because of insufficient paste, but with others everything looks right. This will only happen on 1 to 2 pins, and it is not isolated to a specific type of ic or location o

First, we�re assuming that we�re talking hot air solder leveled [HASL] bare boards, eh? Consider using A-600 - Acceptability of Printed Boards as the basis for discussing the bare board problems. It is the bare board analog of A-610 - Acceptability

So, why can't you clean misprints on Entek boards? Entek: Cheap, flat, OK shelf life, not without process and fabrication issues. Your Entek organic solderability protection is probably Entek Plus [CU106A] made by Ethone OMI. Consider getting a co
