Hot Tear / Shrink Hole--->Happen after wave soldering | 8 May, 2007

Hi all,

I think Hot Tear or Shrink Hole defect is common in LEAD FREE wave soldering, especially those solder is from SAC type. As far as I know, it is related to cooling rate. Is there anyone know how to solve or reduce this defect at wave soldering process?

Thanks, Yankee

Do you mean "how to solve or reduce this defect at wave soldering process" while continuing to use-up my SACX solder?

If so, try: * Smaller solder volumes lower shrinkage hole / hot tears [Higher hole diameter versus pin diameter helps in reducing voids. Poo] * Higher cooling rates reduce shrinkage holes

Yes, continue to use SAC solder. However, as far as I know, the problem become more severe when cooling rate is increased.
