IPC spec is V-score shall not be more than 1/2 board thickness. They should be V scoring 1/4 off top and 1/4 off bottom equally.

Which spec is that in? I'm seeing web thicknesses of .015 or thinner being suggested for a .062 board, way thinner than 1/2 the board thickness.

IPC-2222, 5.3.1 defines the parameters of making scoring cuts and the tolerance of the cuts, but does not specify the cuts. Our spec for 0.062" thick FR-4 boards is: 0.018-0.024"

Is the flux rated for lead free? These higher temps will cause most lead rated fluxes to burn off prior to the wave. Jerry

Likely causes of this are: -Preheat temp. too low -too much dross -uncured epoxy -PCB contamination ...also varify the solder flow over the wave is smooth.

MF300S is quite an old flux, & a lot has happened since then on the flow solder front - are you sure it's designed for Lead free, or is it just a traditional flux that SHOULD work OK with Lead free?

Sounds like your flux to me. Since you cannot change the board or the machine, changing flux would be one question mark you could take away with a phone call and a sample. You will really be surprised how different fluxes can affect your final prod

You are right, RSS profile is not the correct description. I am using a profile which heats up quickly to let the flux spread. Next linear up to activate the flux and prevent thermoshock. My experience is however, that small changes in this profile

i have heard of washable no-cleans for about 6-8 years now. I would think that if SIR values are acceptable for end use then I would run with it. Russ

Happy holidays to all and many thanks to those people who helped me and others during the year! I really enjoy reading the interesting posts and have learned a lot from them. Regards, Bert van den Berg
