Hello, I have a question on white residues formation at wave soldering. We have recently run experiments to test the performance of various halide-free water soluble fluxes (ORH0 under JSTD-004). The flux was applied through a spray fluxer and all P

Sorry James but Im no sales man. Just becasue i answer peoples questions with some answers they don't want to here makes me a bad guy well thats fine. And if you don't want my advise thats fine to. I know people pick on us smarter guys and I can d

I have previously experienced dispensing glue dots using a camalot system. This was used to dispense dots for a variety of components, as the SMT was applied post through hole and then wave soldered. No paste was used in the process. The other benefi

Any thoughts on this will be appreciated, thanks in advance for reviewing. This assembly has been processed in our facility by going through a press operation (~ 1731 lbs), then into wave solder. Note the discoloration around the pemnut. The discol

Thank you for your responses Davef and Boardhouse. The material used is Iteq Corporation IT-180. I performed more testing yesterday and found the following: I could insert Berg Pins into the assembly at various locations or a Pem. None of these

We have an electrovert 16" econopak wave solder machine with two identical pots (exchange between Tin Lead and Lead Free). When the pots are exchanged the same thermocouple is used, and the same controller is used - with the set point adjusted. The S

| I'm also in the "Don't score it" camp. Routed breakaways are much better. If your wave solder process has decent control on the wave height, you shouldn't worry about flooding the boards. | The fine pitch consideration for panelizing - Since you

Mike, Russ is right, no 'normal' wave machine will solder PCB's with 1" long lead length. I have seen waves modified to clear up to 5/8" leads, but the deeper the wave the uglier things get. They get uglier in that a lot more dross is produced, con

| we have just started wave soldering passive SMT components and through hole. We are having trouble with voids on the SMT components. It is very random, but effects a lot of TSOT's. We are using an electrovert with a chip wave. Are there any obv

| Hi Folks, | This is my first surface mount board, so I asked our assembly house for some tips. They said only passives on the bottom side-preferably no smaller than 0805, 0603 only if I have to. I would think that an SOT-23 would be OK on the botto
