This is way too long of a time. The SG probably changes significantly over this time. This could be a major contributor to your problems. Jerry

There's a nice tool on this site - http://www.enhancetechnical.co.uk/ Click on Internet Tools and then the image - brings up a useful interactive tools which helps understand influences on wave solder bridges. Dave

I'm very sorry I did not see this reply earlier. It's been almost a month and I hope you get to read this! I really like your idea of a *personal* electronic circuit factory. You should try getting schools to buy it, because students will love the o

No clean and foam fluxing is not a very good process from my experience. I know that the flux manufacturers claim that they are suitable but I am not sure what "suitable" means. I would bet that you have very inconsistant flux coverage. How often

Go to this link for a nice tool for wave solder process troubleshooting: http://www.speedlinetech.com/news_publications/application-notes.aspx?OnId=5 Look for "Wave Solder Troubleshooting Wizard" If you have an Electrovert machine, contact applica

| We will wave solder a board with SOIC14 and SOIC16 parts on the bottom. It has been difficult to find any specific wave solder process recommendations from manufacturers of the SOICs. The pad geometry utilizes theiving pads on both sides to reduce

With DIP type components, a sub-par fluxing method (foaming a no-clean), and a chip wave where one is not needed are formulas for bridging and insufficient wetting. If you have SMD's on the wave solder side of the board greater than 0603, and no SOT

Morning Mike, We use Pb63/Sn37, Alpha Metal alloy. Solder pot is at 250 C. The profile of board after Preheat about 100 C, Lambda Wave about 220C (use both Lambda and Chip wave), DWell time 2.1s ~ 3s. Conveyor speed 1.5 in/min. We run by bare board a

I just got back from a visit to our PCBA manufacturer. We have good flowthrough on the PTH, but solder skips and bridges on the SMT SO IC's. We have correct orientation and robber pads, but the results are still the same. I noticed the wave shape is

You are on the right track Ismir. Essentially however, as the programmer of the machine, I am the one that creates the PCB with the errors to benchmark the settings for the machine. No secret lab though! :-) Easy enough for most any AOI machine to
