Hi Folks, Need to draw upon the vast expertise in this forum... Whenever you fill a new wave solder machine with fresh bar solder, it seems to produce more than the normal amount of dross for a few weeks. I always understood this to be the solder "c

| We are wave soldering a board having 24 similar thru hole connectors on it, using a wave soldering pallet. The problem is that one particular pin of connector in around 6-9 connectors get excess solder on the bottom side. I have tried all the par

What kind of board finish do you have? You describe solder bubbles...and when you remove them, you find open vias. Are you, by chance, discovering flux contained in these bubbles? We've been experiencing the same thing with pb-free soldering on a

So, you toss whatever is on the stencil every 8 hours. Correct? How long has it been on the stencil? * If that particular paste has been on the stencil for 8 hours, we'd agree to toss it too. * If paste has been on the stencil for less than 8 hour

We have been using SN100C in our RPS Rhythm selective solder machine since we bought it in 2008 with good success. No issues with the solder pot. We are setting the pot temperature to 300C.

Your 316L stainless steel pot will not contain lead-free solder, over the long term. We'd bet that our solder machine equipment manufacturer will "swap" you a lead-free solder compatable pot for your current pot.

Lead free is not define as NO lead and "a maximum concentration value of 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials for lead shall be tolerated." Check below link. So replaced your solder from the pot when exceed 0.1%. http://www.leadfree.org/files
