I have a need for two heater element/strips for the pot of a Econopak EPK+ Type 400F. PN 3-0606-793-01-2. I was told it would be 2-3 weeks from Electrovert. If anybody knows of where I might get them quicker than 2-3 weeks, I sure would appreciate it

Morning All Attended APEX this year and this quesiton came up quite a bit from users. I had some conversations with my co-workers on the wave side and others at the show. Dross is an oxide, lighter than the metals so it floats just as pmdeuel st

Eric: For the amount of dross that you're removing, we're concerned that you could be loosing the balance of your solder alloy, because dross consists primarily of tin oxides. It has little lead in it, beyond than the lead content of the solder that

I'm looking for REAL data about how many hours of Lead Free (SAC) alloy run time it takes to really deteriorate or damage a stainless wave solder pot. Realistically if I TIN purge my wave solder pot, how long will it take to be damaged beyond use or

Hello, in Europe (SN100C sold by Balver Zinn) several solder pots have been filled by this alloy. On the paper I heard talking very well in terms of performance and good price, but not data are available ( as I know) about performance and if r

Hi Steve, When I drain our wave solder pot in preparation for loading a lead free alloy (SN100); I am going to use muffin tins dusted with baby powder or maybe a little high temp oil so that the solder doesnt stick to the tins. I know that this may

Copper wire will become thinner when dipped in tin/lead or lead free solder. The copper is disolved off of the bulk wire. This is one reason rework on solder pots must be restricted. Eventually, after repeated cycles you will have smaller and sma

Hi, Does any body have the experience with wave soldering a "Gold" plated PCB with SMD assembled on it? I`m experiencing massive bridging,icicles,Shadowing & Skipping. The present soldering angle is 6 deg:,pre heating rate is 2 deg/sec , Dwell time

I don't know why anyone would even want any of this stuff since you get paid for the solder that's in your dross anyway. The way I look at it is that it's really a GOOD THING to have some solder come out with the dross while you're de-drossing your

Howdy, I have an Electrovert econopak smt II. I'm set to change over in June to SN100C. I won't be changing out anything. I'll just be purging the lead out of the solder pot with a tin bath. I don't expect there to be any problems with our change
