| | | All y'll: I could use your input on determining when to skim dross from a wave solder pot. | | | | | | On one hand, dross protects the surface of the solder from oxidation. On the other hand too much dross may affect solder joint quality. O

Smtnetters One more question on ESD Control program. Does anyone ground there power equipments and how ? e.g., Pneumatic torque tools , electric screwdrivers, hand soldering stations, solder pots etc. I am not sure about pneumatic hand tools , howev

Assuming that you are going to solder them into a board rather than socket them, yes. The thickness of the gold plating in this application will usually make up a large enough percentage of the total joint to threaten enbrittlement. Use a small sol

| I have a component that is glue cured on the bottom of a pcb. The component is a 1206 size jumper. It is made up of iron/nickel alloy. The problem I am having is that the part will fall off the board during wave solder. Is the component not abl

Hi All, we are running a process where we are wave soldering the PTH components using SAC305 alloy. During rework process (using SAC alloy in the solder pot) we are seeing good amount of Cu dissolution, to an extent that the Cu has completely disapp

Patrick, we were seeing a good amount of Cu-dissolution with both SAC305 and SN100C.. couldn't figure out.. till our good old vendors told us that the Cu thickness in the barrel were not correct... but anyway have started some new work with SAC30

Hi Fellas After bangin my head several times on the cold and hot solder pot nothing improoved. The residues still bother my customer. I agree with less is better but if we apply less we have a cleaner board but the solder won't flow all the way up.

So Stephen, I don't know what part of the country you're from, but during summer time, what DO you do with your air conditioning at home? "Your wrong" is a very general statement, without a "right" statement to counterpoint my wrong statement. Hon

Actually we don't have local fume extraction at our soldering stations. We have 4 going at a time. I was researching last night and found this website. http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/air-change-rate-room-d_867.html It indicates 10-15 air changes p

Anyone have problems wave soldering white tin finish? We are an ems and our customer provides us the pcb's. SMT and TH components on the board. SMT is fine but when we wave solder, wetting to top side is very poor (solder only flows half way up). We
