..and he can put the flux in and keep it a secret too from his customer.. RSS profile on wave?? I never heard of a soak zone for wave preheat...you may be burning off your activator..hence, the beads. For wave preheat, your main goal is to ramp up

I have a thick board with ground planes that will be soldered by hand with a mildly active solder/flux. X-ray confirmed that solder was added to the top of the joint causing a void between the bottom and top solder joint. Other than the mildly acti

In addition to Dave�s comments RE: Stands for RESIN (purified or modified rosin) No resin can be cleaned with pure DI water (requires saponification). L0: Stand for halide free activation which can safely be left on the boards. To my knowledge all

The problem that we have seen applying NC flux (EF2210) at selective solder is that the flux overspray (relative to the nozzle path) did not see high enough temperature to activate the flux and turn it to a non-conductive, benign residue as one would

Hi mates, Yes, the lighter mass is a valid reasoning. in addition to the "lighter (mass) than thou" point of view, 1) the first reason for mounting active Parts (eg. IC, QFP, LGA...) is to minimize the temperature exposure of the Parts to a single

Yins are bad, this guy's serious. Generally, solder pastes are comprised of: 90% solder powder, 5% flux, 4% solvents, and 1% activators [by weight]. Where: * Solder powder, when reflowed, is a metal bonding agent that mechanically and electrically

I say: �Wave flux needs to be heated to certain activation temps which won't be repeatedly achieved with a manual soldering process. Plus, you won't burn off any residual activator as you would if the board were immersed in a solder bath.� Muse say

Omid, No-clean fluxes need to be used right out of the can without thinning. In the past with RA and RMA fluxes you could adjust or thin them to your desired density because they had plenty of solids up to 30%. No-Clean fluxes have a lot lower solid

Small paste deposits have less flux thus less flux activity to enhance the wetting. So preheat needs to be as short as possible, ramp to spike if possible. Try not to ramp hold and spike - pending thermal delta on product can be made to ramp to spike

What type of flux is in your solder paste? Active or No-Clean? With lead free solder you really should be using an active flux. The lead free oxidizes during reflow if you are not using a Nitrogen or Vapor Phase reflow. So a more robust and activ
