I would switch to Teka PC104 solder bearing lead connectors. You can reflow them along with your SMT and eliminate hand soldering. I've had a lot of experience with them and they work great. http://www.tekais.com/pc104.asp Steve

I don't think I would reduce the heat at all if there is no vibration in your oven or on the chain you should have no problem with them falling off or moving but you sure don't want a cold solder joint you no the solder joints are so easy to see go

Craig, If it is LF Hasl it sounds like it applied too thin exposing the intermetallic layer wich is not solderable. We call out a minimum thickness of 80 microinches and have good results. We have had shops in the past that did not control the Hasl

Looks like a hand solder process - getting paste down but not smearing it too bad while sliding the connector on is probably not worth the trouble. Teka makes solder bearing connectors which would allow you to install last and simply reflow with the

Looking for some recommendations on a good solder fountain for reworking large connectors on .062/.092 thick PCBs. I can't find much information on these devices. Anyone have experience with Wenesco's Concept I or II? Thanks

The hazards of a wave solder machine are: * High temperature * Airborne metal oxides * Flux fumes

Have you thought of contacting these people: http://www.solder.net/ I have a feeling they may be quite close to you geographically.

I would like to know when to consider top preheaters in a wave soldering machine. I am very new to this field. All responses are appreciated.

is there a particular solder bar that I need look into? this is new to me so I have no idea where to start looking.

Hi Forum. Is there anyone who can tell if an empty PCB with no SMD components mounted and HAL surface will get a less solderability after been running through reflow (convection). Eg. when testing empty PCB with temperture data logger. Regards Ole
