Igmar, If these parts are epoxied in place, and subsequently wave soldered, I would bet you a cup of coffee that they are cracking due to the thermal shock of the wave. Typically there is a valley or dip in the temperature after the pre-heat in the w

Bob The actual process for converting from SAC305 to SN100C is pretty painless. Basic steps: 1) make sure your solder pot is at temp 2) de-dross 3) pull pumps/flow duct(s) and clean 4) purge pot of SAC material 5) remove any remaining dross/alloy i

I do not mean big, heavy transformers but rather small ferrite core transformers, with ferrites in the range of EF16 .. EF40. The weight of the lead and its percentage of the total weight is not the issue here. We simply do not want lead-containing t

Is this related to this specific machine or this product? * Is this machine having a tough time regulating pot temperature? * Is this product dragging-out solder from the pot when it is being run so quickly? * Is this board out-gassing to create thes

Hi, We are currently using WonderMask PX Peelable Solder Mask # 2222 for the wave rework process, but we are having a lot of trash in the pot. I understand that it is because the solder mask resists the pot temperature (500F) but not the rework tim

I agree with Russ. The hand soldering temperature depends on: * What you are soldering. * What solder paste you are using. * What are the capabilities of your soldering iron. That being said, kind look at 580-650*F as kinda, sorta typical.

We have an electrovert 16" econopak wave solder machine with two identical pots (exchange between Tin Lead and Lead Free). When the pots are exchanged the same thermocouple is used, and the same controller is used - with the set point adjusted. The S

First off, your Hollis pot cannot withstand a SAC305 no-Pb alloy. Could corrode in as little as three months of continuous use. To "de-lead" you drain the pot, clean as much manually then flush with Sn. The wave user or your solder supplier typical

The temperature in the pots are 310C

Hi Cal/Dave F, Good news today. The problem went away when I received and ran with a brand new component today. But I'm sure with a robust profile, I should be able to compensate oxidations at some degrees, rite? ( taking into consideration the suc
