Chiakl Ion Chromatography has been perfectly described by Dave, but here are a couple of extra considerations: Ion Chromatography will tell you precisely what is present on the surface of your board/assembly but it will not tell you whether it will b

| I have gold fingers that I want to mask when running over the wave without pallets. They're on the leading edge of the board. I recall seeing rubber boots that slid onto the fingers to mask them. Pop 'em on before the wave; pop' em off after and

Hello: BACKGROUD: SMT components soldered on the top-side of boards that also require wave soldering have the potential to reflow during wave soldering. Reflowing these components during wave soldering is not good. It can cause cold joints, opens

I'm surprised there hasn't been a response to this. This technique has been around for some time, as it was used early on for memory boards and the like. The pins come on a reel with a carrier strip or strips. Machines are available from the manufact

| Does anybody know if a contraption exists that will minimize a PCB's tendency to become slightly bent after reflow? We have a new product that we're planning to assemble in a couple of months. The board is 9.7" by 13.4" and it is imperitive that

| We are getting solder balls after reflow of surface mount components. We are using a no-clean paste and a new jar seemed to help for a little bit. Any ideas? Thanks in advance Hello Ryan, There's a quite a few things that can cause solder bal

| We notice that DI water seems to tarnish or discolor the metal packaging on crystals and DIN connectors. Our marketing types like the shiney metal surfaces. We don't want to hand solder these parts after washing. | Any suggestions? | Dave F Dave,

| Any ideas on what to buy? Only need to build surface mount protos, ability to rework. Is a rework station okay? | Will subcontract production after design is proven. Best bet is to get an Elite or OK Industries manual printer if you are not doing
