Have anyone perform wave soldering on FR-2 and FR-1 printed circuit board with lead free soldering? Can you share the parameters(wave temperature,preheat temperature, contact time, wave height,etc,) used and did you do any changes to the wave solderi

Is anyone wave soldering 0603 leadfree succesfully? We have no problems soldering them leaded, but lead free we see a lot of random skips and some shorts. We use SAC. We have tried different fluxes, flux settings, playing around with preheat, sol

Here is a nugget from the Data Sheet... Wave Soldering: Excess moisture on the PCB during soldering may lead to random solder balling and poor wetting of some solder joints. IT IS IMPORTANT that the flux solvent carrier (water) is fully evaporated a

I am looking for effective ways to secure through-hole components (non-clinched) to the boards for wave soldering. Can someone share their ideas or methods? We've tried vacuum packing & tacking/masking, but there must be better ways. I'd appreciate a

i think you need to use a PCB central support. do you know that part ? it specializes in preventing PCB board from bowing during wave soldering.

Sid, Try baking the boards before running, to insure no moisture. Baking out the moisture will help prevent warping. Should you need further assistance, we supply fixtures to force the board to stay flat to reduce to thermo shock during wave solde

is it usual if the board has warpage on both sides after wave soldering? And, if it is, please advise me how to solve it. Thanks in advance.

I would like to know when to consider top preheaters in a wave soldering machine. I am very new to this field. All responses are appreciated.

Band width relates to conveyor speed to achive a 2 second contact time for Sn/Pb wave soldering. A typical conveyor speed is 150cm/min with a band width (contact band width between PCB and solder) of 5cm. Now for Pb-Free wave soldering a longer conta

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,me lad. Wave solder is like an onion, it's got many many layers. Kind of like me-self. I'm a big ogre with many complex layers. At any rate i like the other colleague with his adverstising trigger finger. by golly, me chap, he's a
