By Hot Air Knife I assume (leave it alone Dave F.) that you mean a debridging knife located at the exit end of a wave solder machine. Russ is right, they are not a good substitute for a good process, but once the process (w/o HAK) is developed, it

I have read some threads about poor wetting on palladium-silver (Pd-Ag) coated components. I followed the suggestions, but I am still having a problem. The part is an 0603 chip type (Vishay varistor). The Process: solder paste is lead-free Alpha Met

Designers love to do BIG copper pours for several reasons: * Maximize heat spreading. * Increase EMI shielding. * Laziness. The poor folk that solder the parts on boards HATE big copper planes near solder pads. During soldering, fat copper traces [

First profilers are expensive and you can use temperature dots for setting up a wave. You stick them to the top side of the board and they change color based on temp. Top side temp should be around 250f or 125c when it hits the fountain. If you spra

could always use a potato? http://www.smtnet.com/Forums/index.cfm?fuseaction=view_thread&CFApp=1&Thread_ID=9994&#Message56920 But seriously.. best idea is to stay away from any metal as the tin will likely dissolve and contaminate your solder pot.

I have already told you that is not possible solve this problem by e-mail, without perform a detailed failure analysis. Also I have told you to procede by exclusion. Are you sure, by tests, regarding the PCB quality ? Are you sure regarding the solde
