Back in the days when I was in charge of a Paintline Dip conformal coater, I had the same issue with a non-hermetically sealed Potentiometer. We tried to use rubber boots, but the capillary/wicking action of our silicone-based heat cured coating was

Check out the Unit Design web site and look at their drag soldering machines. You do not want to try to do any of this manually. How consistent are your operators when working above a 500 F solder pot? I strongly recommend you buy one of the books

Off the Cuff Answer: Wow, nice big ugly connector! Thought we were the only ones using these things designed during the Korean war. Actually it really depends on the customers print. If they want conformal coating, they should know exactly where

Iron huh? You sure about that? We have the ERSA Versaflows and our nozzles are made out of ST37 Tool Steel. There is an "American equivalent" to this grade but I forgot what it is. You'll have to google it like I did. Anywho, Tin or Tin-Lead sold

Yes.... stop checking on your process.... :) Seriously...if you cleaning the boards after I would suspect no issues. If your leaving the flux on the board (I suspect they are using quite a bit) then I would be concerned. Since the boards have al

Some amount of voiding was always seen on sites where solder paste is printed. These voids are much smaller. However the site where a flip chip is flux dipped has never had problems with voiding. Macro voids (and huge ones at that)across the board s

Hi Davef and Rob, Thank Davef for your advice,we will make "dip&look" soldering test. Rob,we are tolking about companents storage time after manufacturing. Sometime we get companents which was shipment more then year ago In many cases we have problem

Questions are: * Does the component take solder when you dip it in the solder pot to test the solderability of the leads? * Can you get full barrel fill when wave soldering a bare board? * Is your flux reaching the top of the board through the hole b

So others can solder the same board and part but you can't. Dipping the legs in flux doesn't help. Then it's either your pre-heat or wave. Measure your pre-heat and compare to others or flux mfger. Do you have chip wave or something like an Omega
