Hi Everyone, I am in the process of selcting a new wave solder machine for our small company. We currently run 2 Technical Devices (18" Nu Era Jr. dual wave). I considered converting one to Lead free. It seems for alittle more we could have a machin

| Give me your opinions and experiences of SelectX, selective debridging system in the Vitronics Soltec wave soldering machines. | Opinion and (food for thought)?: First let me say that I am not familiar with SelectX. In the past, manufacturing e

Jim, In most cases if you can eliminate a process you will save money. With that in mind, an all surface mount or all through hole design is prefered. There are alternatives to that rule, like hybrid designs that can be pin and paste soldered. It al

Be careful about the material you choose. All the materials out there are basically glass-filled epoxy composites, but they are different blends with different fillers. Some of them have carbon in the matrix to make them ESD safe, but it also short

There is also peelable or watersoluble masking. I've only seen the peelable masking used. Not ten minutes ago an engineer showed me a board a customer was having trouble with that they are waveing all the bottom parts. That board should be selectiv

You may want to try raising your pre-heater if you have one. I would also suggest trying different fluxes that may be a little more active so you can use less. What type of fluxer are you using? Selective solder flux residue is a gray area. This i

Most of the design considerations will be for the wave soldering of the SMT parts. Have you considered selective soldering pallets or masking as an alternative? One problem I have seen with the epoxy process is parts that are high off the board and t

We have eliminated the adhesive process as much as possible. We do paste in hole where possible and selective solder the remaining components or hand solder them. We looked at this a number of ways and determined the selective soldering and hand sold

We have an assembly that requires a number of high density connectors to be placed after SMD. The process will not allow a normal wave solder setup due to the population of SMD comps. We cannot use a selective solder pallet due to profiles. We are
