Thanks Steve, Its the same problem we are facing. I could read the data that was in english. I want to know what they have concluded in their summary. Are you a Contract Manufacturer or a OEM ? Thanks

We're an OEM and buy a lot of stuff from over there, some for cost, some just for availability. Don't know where this is going but it doesn't look good.

Hi, Anybody apart from the solder manufacturer themselves or their distributors who have used this alloy for lead free wave solder ?

Grant, On those 'dry pads', where does the solder paste end-up after soldering? On: * Pads * Component leads * Someplace else [Where?]

Hi, It's on the pads. They look ok, but when you check the lead comes away from the solder. Regards, Grant Blackmagic Design

Hmmmmmm, one part per beat, per operator. Consider using your Radial lead inserter as your canned drummer.

Randy's correct. If you were soldering to nickel with WS609, you would be complaining about non-wetting, not lumpy solder flow.

I'd guess that you need to sit at your current 216-218*C peak for that 5 to 10 seconds that I mentioned earlier. Increasing your peak is the easiest way to do that, as you say.

We had the same problem and solution with one of our components on one of our lines. Don't know for sure what the "weight" was that they used, but it did solve the problem. Since then the same line is looking a putting an adhesive on the part to ho
