Pallet angle is usually pretty good. Lead length is also another good thing to keep as short as possible. Air Knives don't work that well. Also check your board. Make sure you have solder resist between each and every thru-hole pad. If the board

Having problem with a 2X50 SCKT Strip PTH component(fine pitch) bridging on the wave. The PCB runs in wave pallets. Just wanting to know what successful findings have been done to eliminate bridging? Pallet angles? Copper or titanium inserts? Air kni

Hi MSK, Stencil thickness: 5mils with laser cut Smallest pitch: 20mils Underscreen cleaning frequency: 10 bds per cleaning Note: We have decreased the cleaning frequency from 10 boards to 3 bds to reduce solder bridging after printing Regards,

Basically the main contribuitor is when we need to stop production, ie on weekends, or due to some material shortage on line, we move paste to a different line, but in the case of weekends and stop of production, we usually throw it away. Thanks

All I can tell you about what people do with solder paste at the end of the day or for the weekend is. What the manufacturer recommends. What people say in public? What companies actually do as far as reusing it? I am not passing judgment on 1 or 3
