All: Good morning. I'm writing this morning trying to find out what, right now, is the most used solder alloy out there, industry wide, for lead free applications. I'm talking strictly for reflow, not wave. I have to assume SAC305 is by fa

Hi, I have noticed we are getting residue on our wave pcb's and it's worse with lead free, since we changed to the flux we are using. We are currently using Avantec VOC Free flux model Ecofree 303. It looks like it's made in Malaysia. Does anyone h

Pallet angle is usually pretty good. Lead length is also another good thing to keep as short as possible. Air Knives don't work that well. Also check your board. Make sure you have solder resist between each and every thru-hole pad. If the board

Not affiliated with Contact in any way, but we do have 2 3AV machines, as well as a 3S. I've been operating/managing these machines for 11 years and we haven't gotten a build yet that we couldn't do. Are there occasionally strange components that we

Hi Loco, Good point!! The good old glass plate works just fine as long as the conveyor or carriers have L shaped fingers. A glass plate is usually about a � inch thick (a lot thicker than the actual board). With L shaped fingers the bottom of the gl
