We have an electrovert 16" econopak wave solder machine with two identical pots (exchange between Tin Lead and Lead Free). When the pots are exchanged the same thermocouple is used, and the same controller is used - with the set point adjusted. The S

Hi, I need help on how to address the solder wicking on the samtec searay connector after reflow resulting to open solder joints on thick and thermal heavy PCB (4.4mm and 6.3mm). I increased my solder paste thickness to 8 mils, the connector is manua

There are several areas you can check. Your profile is very fast. You reach the peak at around 3 minute mark. That's not enough time for the fillet to form. Try to slow down your belt speed to around 90-95, to give it more time. Also, your temperatur

A while back, we had a yellow coating showing up on some solder joints at Selective Solder (LEAD alloy). I contacted the company for our machine and he looked into it. One change we had made not too long before is we switched from Superior 75 to Sup

Scott: First, it's neat that you do cartridge monitoring on you staff. We do that once a year. We (and I assume others) are responding to OSHA requirements: Lead CFR 1910.1025 permissible exposure limits for lead, provisions for medical examinati

My first concern would be the choice of solder paste you have. There are better chemistries out there that far exceed the capabilities of the 609 2. Yes, the part will partially float on the solder (assuming plastic qfp). Cross sectioning would sho

Hey Kyle - Good for you for pushing your horizons and considering pin-in-paste (aka "Intrusive Soldering"). Don't let the nay-sayers out there discourage you. When I encounter mixed tech PCBAs (SMT and through-hole) my first choice, if the design a

Jack, a couple of questions first, 1. What pitch are these leads? 2. What are the lead footprint dimensions? 3. Orientation of component? I personally have never had much luck soldering QFPs in the wave unless they are 50 mil pitch or greater, we o
