What steps are taken in low residue wave soldering to assure the proper amount of flux is applied prior to soldering? * Too little flux can result in poor solder flow. * Too much flux can result in corrosive residues left on the board after soldering

We've never used the 99*C lead-free solder you mention. We have used a leaded solder that can form a 93*C eutectic solder. So, we had to be sure the service temperature [of the solder connections] as below 80*C.

Hi Dave, Thanks on your feedback, May I know the how's the contributing of Moisture content of bare board and the Thickness of the copper plating in the PTH to the solder ball and solder splash during hand soldering process ?

Please explain "adhesion of soldering is not uniform at the tips (soldering ends)." For example: * Is the "tips (soldering ends)" the component leads? * What is the component? * What is the finish on the component? * What process is causing this issu

Has anyone had any experience of using High Melting Point Solder paste in production. We have started to trial some boards using the Solder Paste and are experiencing poor solder joints and solder joints that look grainy.

Most often 'solder graping' refers to poor solder wetting, where the solder paste has partially melted, but has not coalesced or flowed. Sometimes this leaves the outline of the partially melted solder balls still visible, giving the appearance, to

Here's one take on what you seem to be asking: * After a point, more solder is more stress than the proper amount of solder would produce. * Asymmetrical amounts of solder produce more stress than balanced amounts of solder would produce.

Yes, we use solder paste,solder bar and solder wire from different manufactureres for 1PCB assembly. And, what JAX said, we never mixed solder paste from different manufactures and used.

If still interested you may want to review information on our GW-10-HT Solder Fountain System at http://www.ddmnovastar.com/wave-solder/solder-fountains/gw-10-ht-soldering-fountain Good luck with your search.

Are the solder balls what we would call ' mid chip ' solder balls where a single or sometimes a few larger solder balls are positioned somewhere along the side of the chip or are they the solder paste powder particles spread around the pads ?
