Steve, I have to support the comments made by Dave F. Provided the surface mount parts on the second side are correctly orientated and not too close to any adjacent through hole leads then the best option has to be to print glue then wave solder. T

We had the same problem years ago when we started using a radial inserter. The inserter would dutyfully insert and clinch the leads. The problem in our case was the component body sealing to the fab, especially on electrolytics caps with a film jac

Hi Dreamsniper, the IPC land design standard is IMO a good reference. If you use the online calculator you can influence the result by varying for example manufactoring parameters. For the same lead width and same tolerances (and of course pitch) we

Sorry at the moment I do not have information but as usual I want to get some hands on sessions going. We were doing a flip chip workshop hands on session for Speedline last week in England. We did the theory and then hands on soldering and underfill

What type of preheaters do you have on you're wave? I have to agree with Dave. Your leads are not cold, they are hotter than the annular ring on the PCB. This would cause the solder to go to the lead only rather than the component and land pad / a

Hi Jacob, NC vs WS, what a story! No-clean paste means no-clean for your products but what a mess it makes in your reflow systems. If you are a contract maunufacturer of high volume production, then No-Clean is they way to go. This helps keep your co

OEM Boy, This is an excellent question. Since I am on the "I-want-to-sell-you-equipment-side" I do not have the hands-on experience that you do but, I do have a many engineers back at our factory who have dedicated their lives to these issues.

Hi Chris, Dave F is absolutely correct in his assunption that the leads are hotter than the pads. You must profile from the pads to see the exact temperature that they are reaching. If the entire board reflows properly as you described, don't get ca

I assume since you talk about adjusting the locking pin and changing tooling you believe the part is not being held down with enough force while being reflowed. Is this because the insufficent and open solder you mentioned is the lead sitting on top

Jose: Those are good guesses. Without knowing more, ask yourself: 1 There is probably adequate heat available, but that portion of the substrate that�s not soldering well is not receiving proper heating. Why is the component getting so hot, relati
