I got some info about it last year. I could not justify ROI since this machine was way too expensive (same thing with Vitronics Selective machines). You need to see if this machine will increase your throughput or not depending on your products. Al

Trouble selective soldering fine pitch connectors

We are having difficulty with bridging on a 2x50 pin 0.050" fine pitch connector using our selective soldering machine. It usually bridges at the end of the row, but sometimes it bridges all the pins together as it drags across (solid bridging). I

We had a similar issue and it was fixed by trimming the connector so there was barely enough lead protrusion through the board to show a discernible lead. We had to get a special plate and small machine to cut the connectors, but we haven’t had a bri

Thank's Dennis. I'm also now think in this direction. Process was adjusted and soldering are good. But one from five boards can have this effect with bubbles and strange uneven distribution of solder inside the barrel. Probably copper is too thin and

If it was ROHS, I would say that the pads are definitely dissolved away. And it sounds like that is the case here. Your best bet is if it is class 2 and the barrels are at least 50% then push for them to be accepted. If you are trying for more barr

Also at few boards we see excessive voiding, extremily excessive. During solderind some bubbling can be observed near the soldering point. Boards was dried before assembly. May be we have a problem with too thin metallisation - that's why poor adhesi

As far as hole fill, as was stated above, class 2 only requires 50% up-fill. In order to get better up-fill on the initial pass, you may need to consider more pre-heat. Also, better application of flux. Are you using a drop jet, or a spray? You

Glad to hear we have more Jade users on the forum! What kind of flux footprint is your fluxer leaving on the board? You called it a "spray" fluxer.. We use the MIC fluxer that functions like a jet fluxer. Do you flux each individual lead or do a

Thanks for the comments so far. The smallest nozzle I've tried is a 4mm, which is what Pillarhouse used on this board to provide a sample. I tried this but wasn't as good as the 6mm. I've soldered the same connectors on a different board using a 10mm

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
