I just went through the same problem. We have an inductor that is made with a bundle of 30-strands of Litz wire that is vaccuum coated with varnish, and have the ends of the wire bundles tinned that we have to solder to SMT pads on the board. The ind

That may just be an optical illusion. I've just measured and they're cut to just over 4mm (0.157"). The pot is at the level specified by the manufacturer (5mm from the bottom of the PCB if I remember correctly).

Hi all, We run an old Seho 1135C wave solder with a 63/37 pot at 250°C. It has been running well for a couple of years but we have noticed lately that all of the larger pads (terminal blocks, transformers, etc.) require additional solder to be appli

Measured the pot temprature independantly from the software (268C/514F from moving wave). We are using Dross Inhibiter Tin/P Regenerator from BLT. Monthly sample checks are carried out on the solder bath and are all within limits. It will be hard to

There is one lead that is a total miss. I think you are too low with the wave there - you are barely touching the board. I would say first look at your wave height. If you have the possibility to change the angle of the wave(if there is a backplane t

Hey all, I've made a post in the past about us expanding to a new space, but I wanted to do a new post with specific questions. We currently have a DEK 265, Phillips Opal Xii, and a Heller 1500. Our main reason for expanding is to have a lead-free

Hi, It was funny. The sight of 3 men standing around the microwave daring each other to push the start button, and then freaking out when the whole thing looked as though it was going to explode was funny. I guess you have to try these things! Tho

Hi, I think that the time depends on the type of stainless steel, temperature and solder alloy. For example, one of our machines is delivered with 316 stainless pot and alloy SnNi. It worked six months (120days*16hours = 1920hours) and aft

you would be best to get this from your paste/solder manufacture. but here are some rules of thumb: -Solder paste out of fridge before use - get out the night before needed.. don't let your op's warm on the oven!! you will regret that! if not over ni

What your asking has many variables. 1. Material: SS vs. Cast Iron. Iron is thicker. Which SS? 316, 316L 2. Pump speeds, turbulence, hours of operation directly affect equipment life. 3. Things like scraping the pots, the tunnels, impelle
