Hi, Try to check if there is water absorbed in the flux or the humidity around the wave area. possibly plating on barrels that might be damaged?

This might be a trival mundane suggestion but try to use non conductive plate to hold components. Probably even made of the pallet material. I am sure your pallet fabricator will have tons of scrap and he can help you find one. T

By the way, what type of preheaters do you have? IR? Convection? If you have IR, there may be a way to cheat. Vince W

The chain and fingers for our Wave solder is getting a large amount of residue from the flux (high dissolved solids) we are using. Any recommendations for products that can clean polymerized flux.

Randy, Steve & all, Can you guys point me in the right direction when it come to using selective wave soldering...I am trying to get in-depth information on the Pro's & Con's of having our supplier use this process for our PWA's. (I can see there ar

DON'T do it!!! The two problems you'll have are: 1 Poor manufacturing process control, resulting in weak solder connections. 2 Weak solder connections are stressed, when the board is straightened upon installation in the "box". There's several hits

Unfortunately it's nc or we'd be worrying about this on the fly. Non-contact is defintely and issue....this is an 18"x9" board with 1500 bottom side SMT parts that are scattered among the through-hole and vice-versa. We're currently using 7 hold-

There are a few emerging technologies that have been growing in popularity for the past few years. Pin through paste, press fit connectors and selective soldering machines seem to be displacing custom fixtures. Most of the mixed technology boards o
