TH Parts are hand loaded - some are wave soldered and some hand soldered. smt 1206 on top side can be reflowed as you suggested but it's addition of one more step of reflow cycle in process for production. and i think that's why they are reluctant

Hi All My company is doing PCB assembly.To save cost, we change our wave solder bath from SnAg to SAC 305. What is the pros and cons for using SAC 305 solder? And,will affect to our quailty? Thanks in advance.

Jacki, your original post was regards to wave solder bath. With solder bar, there is no flux and you do not need to look for WS Sn100C. Sn100C is only a metal alloy. Regards, Shean

Have you looked at simple solder fountains? If it is just simple connectors that might be all you need. Or maybe a small wave solder machine?

We know of two "solder savers" 1 Kester Formula 5749 Solder Saver: We believe Kester Formula 5749 Solder Saver to be a new formulation of Kleenox. Kleenox works. It helps separate the solder entrapped in the dross. [One tiny warning, one chemical

Yes, it is possible, and yes you do need to watch out for preheat and soldertime. The displays will get the hottest after they leave the wave, when the heat creaps from the PCB to display. Check your datasheets and do some testing for maximum heat.

I think Patrick is on the right track. Try running the fixture 180deg out from typical, if possible, and see if the problem goes away or moves to another fuse clip. I've also noticed some wave fixtures can create air pockets that won't allow proper

The gold needs to go into the solder so the solder can form a connection between the the component and the nickel under the gold. The gold will disperse into the solder. Most of it will remain in your solder pot after board processing. Assess the c
