I have 25#'s of bismuth in my shop. I wanted to add some to my 63/37 till it was eutectic. This would allow me to lower the waves temp. Can I do this and still meet standards? Also would it make the solder joints to brittle and would discoloration be

the company i work for is going into circuit boards and want to find a used wave solder machine theyre budget is 10 to 20 k i have never run one of these machines and dont no what to look for anybody out there have recommendations of what i

I have been looking at wave pallets with titanium inserts. I was told about another more recent and less expensive insert using aluminum. The aluminum is coated with some sort of material to prevent the solder from sticking. Is this anodized? Does an

What is the best or ideal cleaning method for wave solder pallets? I have been using iso prop and am not sure if this is the cause for having brittle wall material. I wouldn't think alcohol would degrade the durastone material. Most of my pallets hav

Key Issue: Will this machine solder your boards? You never know until you solder one. Any other avenues of analysis involve substantial risk. Flux Selection * High or low solids * VOC or VOC-free Solder Alloy * If using lead-free, avoid stainles

Hello once again! I am having a problem with a 24 pin connector bridging on the wave. We use very similar connectors on other PCB with zero problems. This connector bridges in the same place on the same pins. It forms like a little block of four

I can only say it looks okay for what you need, you will want a dual wave system it can make things so much easier. One thing to check would be the wave nozzle sizes I can see that the conveyor will do up to 15" but thats not to say the nozzle is

Hi Jason, a couple of questions: What�s the pitch? Did you change direction the board is going through the wave and what happend? How about the design abnormalities for those 4 pins, thermalreliefpads or whatever? We had problems with 2mm pitch and

Speaking from experience, the solder pot surface has become "wetted" so to speak, so solder will naturally wick and seek. Allow the level to go low (perhaps 1 inch plus), clean the top surface area of the solder pot as best as you can - try to remove

Jason, where on the board is your connector?, front / back / middle? and where it on the PCB that you don't have issues with? Thief pad's are basically dummy pad's taht you have after the last set of pin's on the component are are used to draw the
