250C peak temp seems very high for components. Thermal damage, which is latent like ESD damage, can occur on components at temps as low as 235C. Looking at component specs to see what the max temps are is a good idea I think when doing Pb Free trials

Hey Pete. I agree, 250c is a bit on the high side, I'm working with the EM907 paste and getting great results witha top end of 230-236. Best of all, our CEO had a very dificult time telling which board was lead free and which was lead. Have a great

Hi, i tried to search but am hving trouble finding discussions on leaded parts being used in leadfree soldering process. So, i need some inputs from expert members here. Will it work if a component plated with SnPb will be used in a lead free sold

Yes, sorry, I have no detailed experience with wave-soldering. Probably if you use Pb components with Pbfree wave, you risk contaminating your wave solder pot. I don't know how much it would take or what all the dangers of that are, other than the

Hi All, I am currently looking at ways to reduce Dross on our wave process. One tool that I came across was the Pulsar Solder Saver. Its hand held and kinda sucks in the dross -returns the good solder to he bath and drops the powder on top of the P

Hi Jon, Thanks for that. I seem to be having a problem getting a unit on Trial. I have plenty of access and my main priority is to reduce the amount of dross (or may I say Solder) that we send back as Dross, I am based in Ireland so I have to go t

Buy decent solder in the first place especially with Lead free and the savings made could be around 50% of the dross production for Lead Free when compared to Leaded. Buy poor quality solder you will need a solder recovery unit of some format. Cheers

You can either optimize both boards from the very start to the same table top or you can assign the feeders under configure tabletop to the same spot that they were in when you optimized the first program. Remember that you can optimize many differen
