with lead-free solders, one would expect to find less instances of tombstoning. this is because SAC alloys are not eutectic and melt over a range of temp (usually 217-220 deg C) instead of at a single temperature. therefore the forces due to solder s

We have a new SMT line, our customers are asking us the validation of the process. Not only the validation of the resulting assembled board (solder joint...) but also a validation of every single machine in the line (ex. stencil printer...). For exam

Be mindful that this machine is no longer support by the mfr. Electrovert/Hollis. There may be some support by third parties in the U.K. Its not a USA designed machine. It has a stainless steel pot, so it will need a titanium liner and new solder noz

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

Don't forget to buy the "Lead free heelstraps, smocks, wriststraps, hairnets and repair table" too. They cost twice as much, but you have to have them! We use regular wick and it works well with the LF solder. Vendor even ageed there was no need t

The copper based part is it copper that you are soldering to or did you tell us what the base material was for the lead. Generally all leads are plated with something such as Tin/Lead, palladium over nickel, tin, etc... You cannot solder to bare co
