Jason, If 225C is the topside temp of your board just prior to hitting the wave, I would say this is too high. Your flux suppliers data sheet should tell you an ideal topside temp for good flux activation, probably around 190C. According to the Bi

I am new to wave soldering. Any information is greatly welcomed. Here is the problem. After soldering the boards they have a film on the bottom of them and sometimes a white powder looking substance. I have tried decreasing the amount of flux on

Hi Jacqueline! The dreaded white residue huh? YUCK! This seems to be a ongoing issue...probably because there are many different things that can possibly cause this. There's a real good article about the different causes of this problem at Kest

Ashok: You should select and use low residue tapes. But ya know, ya go out and research a great tape and if yer not careful, the buyer will second source ya and (surprise) ya got residues again. We have found that Lemme say this about Katon tape

The process that burnt the tips up yesterday was hand soldering/touch up of lead-free assemblies. Not even assembly, but just touching up boards that we've soldered on a solder pot...which will lead to another question. We're using SAC 305 WS482 3

The main problem I am having is getting the Rising slope 1-3 degrees. If I slow the conveyor down then I have too long of a reflow and if I speed it up then my ramp rate is too high. I was not sure if I need my first zones at a low temp or higher t

| Dave, | i tried reflowing bare boards with only solder printed on em and no component placed. we still got voids as same as when components were placed. so atleast one of that theories(voids due to component/component placement)could be considered
