Doug, Have you tried running the boards at an angle to the wave of between 15 - 30 degree's ? I've done this on a few boards to eliminate short's and I believe it will work on your problem very sucessfully. Best thing to do is get your wave solder c

| We currently use HASL on all of our boards and I would like to move to something else. I have sampled some boards with Entek OSP and I loved it, the problem is we have plated mounting holes on just about every board we make. Does anyone have info

| | Now don't everyone jump on this at once, but it seems time for me to send out copies of my not even close to being dated copy of an article about HASL. Though it was published in 1992, in Printed Circuit Fabrication Magazine, and it got rave revi

| | | | | Hello all! | | | | | Recently we got a problem about the Funtional test. Some boards passed tests by using the auto-fixture(vacuum), but failed by using manual test fixture(need to plug CPU, DIMM etc.). The error symptom is no picture. We d

Hey there Dave! We used to use a batch cleaner when we used water-clean paste. It was similar to a dishwasher, except that it had a digital menu for entering the number of wash cycles, water temp., amount of saponifier (we just used DI water),

Micheal, What does your profile look like for the wave? What profile does your flux say you need? My guess is it is not your profile, our testing with solder balls found that the mask on the boards was the largest contributor to solder balls. Wha

Benji: I tend to agree with you that assemblers shouldn't wear make-up. I'm unsure what first level assemblers are tho. I've been down that finger cot/glove route ... 1 If someone is going to smear facial or cosmetic oil on a board, they can do
