Is 260 degrees C / 500 degrees F the optimum temperature for wave soldering ?

I'm with John. Back in the old MIL-2000 days, the pot temperature was 245-275C (475-525F). Now, 240-260C (460-480 F) is more accepted for eutechic (eutechicish) solder. My2� Dave F

If you will place a temperature strip on the board during wave soldering process you will get a max of 210 F or 98.8 C which is normal on the standard wave temperature. The problem on the 10% solder on the TH via hole can be caused by insufficient fl

Hi Tim It sort of depends on the solder alloy being used and the particular assemblies being soldered. If you are using the usual 63/37 alloy I would consider 500 to be a bit warm unless the assembly required it. Some alloys would require a higher

Tim, I try to get 2-3 degrees C/sec (bottomside) rise on my boards through wavesolder. I like to get the topside to about 90-95 degrees C, but this is the optimum temp for the flux that I am using. To fast of a slope and you will burn your flux of

Hi , As far as I experienced with wave reflow. If u have a refective thermal reader , u will see that the board is exposed to much more temp than the 120 deg that u set. Actually , once u see the board warp or comp. crack u should know that

Temperature vs time is what soldering is all about. The faster you run your conveyor, the more heat will have to come from the pot for a given assembly. Example: You heat the board to 200F top side through the preheaters. Eutectic 63/37 melts at 361.

I'm not a Wave soldering guy and my friend have asked me a question on what is the best preheat time and temperature for Wave soldering.They experiences only 10% flow up thru the PTH barrel. I've asked them to increase the temperatue to 120 Deg C. Cu

A little more information on your current wavesoldering process would be helpful in helping you. Information like what kind of flux your are using,how you are applying the flux,what preheat temps you are using,and your conveyor speed. Without knowing
