I represent PROMATION USA and we have several solutions for solder wire perforation: Our QUICK 372B is a stand-alone drilling station. Our QUICK 371DI is a semi-automatic hand soldering station with perforation technology. Our QUICK 300A/B is a d

My company is looking for a vacuum that can handle being used to clean up solder splashes on the bottom of our wave solder machines and around the solder pot area in our ERSA Selective Solder Machines. In the past we would use a Shopvac but these don

Both "moisture content of bare board" and the "thickness of the copper plating in the PTH" are related to each other. As you heat the solder connection, moisture in the board boils and out-gasses through the solder connection. Plating with the proper

Is it possible that the assembler is using solder wire that's too small for the application and feeding it too quickly to compensate?

Your customer is correct. You are doing something wrong in your hand soldering process. Solder balls are a process indicator. Areas to assess are: * Moisture content of the bare board * Thickness of the copper plating in the through holes * Temperatu

In a previous lifetime, we had a selective solder machine where I would see solder splashes in the roof of it. I thought someone might have been putting the solder extremely high. But when it was melting there would be bubbles that burst. The manufac

We only have solder balling problems in the interface of the pcb with the selective soldering pallet. All other boards (single, and double sided glue and waved alike) are fine, so I'm not thinking this is going to follow the normal path for resoluti

Hi, I'm going to evalute new solder paste and flux for wave-solder. Appreciate you could advise what are the things need to look out during the evalution. Any recommend step or proper way of doing solder paste and flux evalution. Appreciate your he

Jim, In most cases if you can eliminate a process you will save money. With that in mind, an all surface mount or all through hole design is prefered. There are alternatives to that rule, like hybrid designs that can be pin and paste soldered. It al
