Thanks for the reply. I actually heard back from Kester who say they dont test with other fluxes (obviously) but that there shouldnt be any issues. Of course they recommended their wave flux to replace our Multicore and can confidently then say there

Perhaps there is someone who can answer this question. If a 1k 1% 0805 ohm resistor is missing a corner is it still going to read 1K ohm? Or, if it has an extra bit of material is it going to read more than 1k ohm? I am guessing that when chip reisis

Pete, Thanks for sharing that Been in soldering for over 35 years I just knew this nightmare would end before the July first deadline. Here's a shorter one on the same issue. http://www.tuvps.co.uk/news/articles/website-battles-against-rohs-1712575

The European consumer is protected from reliability issues due to RoHS. Remember, two year warranties are mandatory in the EU and you only get one chance to repair a defective product in the EU or the law requires it to be scrapped. If the customer

Hi, I use convection reflow and both top & bottom settings are the same. Is the part too heavy to rely on surface tension? there is an equation that can determine this (aswell as real test i.e. part falling off) We have some SIM Card holders on bot

hi, gald to hear that yr process is working well.....we are in the process of buying a wave with SN100C solder.....any pitfalls/precautions that you took during the transition? did you do any DOE for setting up the profile values?? are you seeing a

Glad to hear it is running good for you. I have my new wave solder machine in house.(hooking it up next week). I am debating between Sn100 and Cobalt 995 (metallic resources). Does anybody have an experience with the Cobalt. Or a reason not to go wit

Jay---- Please contact me if you are interested in the new alloy that my firm, WCS, inc. has invented. Bahodim (TM) solder is successfully being used by a startup in Florida, Initech, inc. Bahodium has out-performed SAC, Tin-Lead and SN100 in re

Look here you dime store cowboy. Why in the heck would I ever contact you. You've done nothing, nor have you even proven that you are legit. Stop wasting bits on this forumn and either pony up with some useful information or go away. Jay

Hi, Do you mean selective palettes in the wave? We are running those, and it makes the process window tight, but once we got there, it's great. Pre heating the board was a bit difficult, but we got it right, and went for a water based flux. Not sure
