David: I think it's great that you are getting that much barrel fill with STEEL leaded components!!! So, what kind of steel are the leads are made from? How much corrosion is on the leads? Frankly, I don't believe that the leads are made of steel

We have used the SN100C for over a year now with fanastic results. We use the SAC305 for SMT and SN100C wire exclusively. There are no problem mixing the alloys. I am also on the commitee for the NASA testing. The SN100C did out perform SAC and SnPb

Answers: The component does take solder, no problem We get a full barrel fill with an empty PCB but only on one of the holes, the other hole has so much copper around it. The flux reached the top of the PCB when I tested the empty PCB. The IPC-A-610

Hello! We have a strange effect. Some pads of big trough-hole DDR slot just dessapear. Initialy it was soldered with selective soldering process (leaded, 290 degrees, ImSn finish, very short storage). Then some connectors with poor barrel fill we hav

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

We are in the process of changing over our wave solder flux from alcohol based no clean to VOC free water based no clean. We are running an old Eletrovert with foam fluxer, tin lead solder. After preliminary testing on scrap boards and now starting t

HOW THICK IS THE BOARD? IS THERE A LOT OF COPPER IN THE BOARD? DOES YOUR CUSTOMERS PROVIDE HEAT RELIEF IN THE BOARDS BARREL DESIGN THERE NEEDS TO BE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR LEADFREE SOLDER TO FLOW, DID YOU CHECK YOUR PIN(LEAD)TO HOLE (BARREL) RATIO? N

Get-out the razor blades, bud. You could run that sukka for 6 sec dwell, cook breakfast on it, and you still will not get fill. [Hole file that is, breakfast will go along ways if peckish, though.] You could fire-up the depleted ozone rework gun [

I have had a look at what Bob Willis say's and the answer to my problem is not there. The paste we are using has a very high viscosity and I beleive that if we reduce the metal content to less than 90% it will solve the problem. The problem is parti

First, why do you have paste on the opposite side of the component. I would recommend having it on the same side. Second, how thick is your stencil? Pin in paste requires thickness, to fill the whole barrel. Stencil should be really thick. Try to man
