Well, since you've gotten no takers, we'll launch in to this with careful analysis and introspection, fully aware that we're likely to get 'blasted' for any number of reasons. The most critical parameters to monitor for proper wave solder machine pr

Dreamsniper, The optimum contact (dwell) time in the wave should be 2 seconds. Contact band width is a function of conveyor speed. For an example, 5cm of contact band width at 150cm/min. conveyor speed will give you 2 seconds of contact time and 2cm

Thank you for reply, Stephen. No, As I wrote it was leaded process. I heard that it is possible with lead free solder at higher temps an dwell time. At NPL Defect Database I've find this case wich looks exactly the same: http://defectsdatabase.npl.co

What is your current solder pot temperature? Whatever that temperature is, has it been verified/calibrated? What kind of flux is being used? No-clean, OA, RMA? How is the flux being applied to the PCB? Is this problem occuring on ALL negative termi

We are using VP on all of our lead free assemblies. 1. We are getting great, very repeatable results. 2. The profiles were created during the implementation of the equipment and we only change 3 parameters for each assembly processed. Heater power,

An assembly with this improperly solder joints will have functional issues. We have encountered this many times with memory modules failures,RMA units. Reflow always solved the problem (in our many cases). Dwelling time may be the key to solve this.

| We are wave soldering a board having 24 similar thru hole connectors on it, using a wave soldering pallet. The problem is that one particular pin of connector in around 6-9 connectors get excess solder on the bottom side. I have tried all the par

I have done few thermocouples using high lead solder, silver epoxy that is used for die attach purposes and some X - non conductive material. Though all materials show a slight variation in temperatures (3 to 5 degree C), the dwell time at peak is qu

Here's what I've seen for no-clean flux applications: Leaded: Dwell Time is? 2 - 3 seconds Top side board temp max? If some small SMT parts reflow are we too hot? 110 to 120C top side board temp just before hitting the wave(s) Pot temp. 245C Lea

Hi Patrick, We are using AIM 266-3. The topside preheat temp is approx 100 degrees C although we have played with that number both up and down. Raising the temp leaves a white residue, lowering the temp (below about 90 degrees) and the solder balls
