We are using Mulicore MF101 flux and a Vitronics selective soldering machine on a lead-fee assembly and are having trouble with nozzles blocking even when the nozzle aperture is increased. Has anyone come across this problem before using fluxes with

Resistance: Tables of wire gauge often provide a resistance measure of some kind for each gauge. That way we can estimate the resistance of any length of wire we might be interested in. Calculating trace resistance is only slightly more complicated.

I don't know. We never had craziness like this before lead-free. You should have the yellowish-metal analyzed to be sure. Guessing: You're seeing this color on the terminations of components, not on the bulk of the SnX solder connection. If that's

Hello all, The situation: We recently had 2 brand new solder wave installed, one after the other. On the first one, the "protective coating" on the solder pot started to flake off 1 day after start-up. The tech who did the installation witnessed it a

Any lead free will eat a leaded designed wave soldering machine. But SN100c will eat it the slowest, our soldering tips used to only last 3 months with SAC305 when we changed to SN100c solder wire we are having around 9 months tip life. Our wave sol

I find this disturbing when customers dictate your process and equipment? Your responsibility is to deliver a quality product on time. Why would your customer care HOW you achieve this? Hence the success of Chinese manufacturing. I have one custo

Just another thought - how long is the printer idle for between boards? is it long enough to have the chemicals start to separate within the paste?

I guess my biggest concern would be what will happen to the inner metallic layer of the leaded solder during the higher temperatures.

We just did this and are awaiting the results. Solder balling and a burnt looking flux where visual indicators that we noticed running regular paste at no-lead temps.

Hi. Anyone in this forum experienced the lead-free solder paste SAC305 and SAC405? What are the differences to expect for solder paste with SAC305 and SAC405? What is the effect of silver (Ag) alloy in solder paste? It was really appreciated if could
