Hi, That's good news, and we did outs with SN100C as well on Wed, however we are still working hard on getting a good profile. We have some large BNC connectors, and they are hard to profile. We also have wave palettes, and these might be too thick

Is it possible the solder hole(s) is too large and the solder is falling back in the hole? I see this on right angle BNC type connectors. Is this happening on all component types? All areas of the boards? Always the same pins (but other pins in t

Hi, We have spent the day trying to profile our Vitroncis Soltec Delta C wave with the new SN100C solder, but having problems with the heavy pins on some BNC connectors we are using. We have Interflux no residue flux, and we are using palettes, whi

After doing some more research it looks like Loctite made a material called Cornerbond 3515 that seems as if it has the characteristics we are looking for such as curing after the solder is liquidous. But it appears that it isn't manufactured anymore

Hi Grant, You already have a few good answers. If you have but one to a few BNC connectors I would kind of use the advice here or do what you already are doing aka hand soldering. I would not install a Wave Solder line for a really low volume of BN

I've recently pushed the company I work for to switch to a halogen-free solder that our supplier carries, Kester's NP 505 HR, prior we were using Kester NXG1. NP 505 HR performs great on the screen, we have a lot of down time in between prints (we d

We're having problems with Kester pastes (NP545 pb free and EP265 60/40 no clean pastes.) All of our other components reflow just fine with either paste, but for some reason this QFN chip doesn't wick to the QFN's pads well. It seems like some type

Hi, We have a SMT production like, however we have very little experience with through hole assembly. We design everything to be completly SMT based, however connectors are the only part of our product that still requires through hole assembly. Cur

Hi Grant, You definitely have a pre-heat problem and not a flux problem. Pallets together with the BNC connectors put a large thermal demand on your pre-heating. 3 zones would be a good investment even with leaded solder due to the high thermal dema

Hi, Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I am going to check what options we have for top side heating. Do people recommend we get convection for that? Also, we seem limited to 60% in the machine setup, and does anyone know how to run the top lam
