You weren�t clear but I assume the problem is not widely distributed and affects only a few parts on each board. Do this trick: * Cut a ~1� piece of fairly serious wire, like 18 or 12 AWG. * Strip the insulation. * Gear-up with gloves, glasses, and

I tried MS2 for almost two weeks and I can see it works. MS2 is more a preventive tool rather than a solution to convert pour on top of the dross. Very important if you use this stuff is that you do the encapsulation of the wave, the bigger the surfa

Hi everybody, First of all, to have process under 100% control you should have AOI after every active process in the pcb assembly line : - Post printing (2D or 3D Solder paste inspection machine); - Post reflow; - Post selective(wave solder). It i

I have been advised recently about pcb manufacturers, that somehow or other supply pcb's with contamination. Visually they are fine, but problems arise during SMT manufacture, ie solder balling, non-wetting on pads, and also during wave solder proces

Mika, If I understand you correctly you compare hole fill of Ni/Au plated boards in a lead-free process with HASL 63/37 boards soldered with leaded solder. If this is the case you might be facing the challenges in Pb free wave soldering with the lim

Dross formation rates for SnCu and SAC are roughly 2.5 times the rate for SnPb (Hwang et al., 2004) Methods for reducing dross are: * Lower pot temperature * Run pump speed slower and only when soldering * Check solder contaminants to BS219, ASTM

As an OEM repiar tech I would run into "Black Pad" on occasion, though mostly on surface mount pads. The only way I could remove the oxidation was to apply water soluble flux and add solder, then wick away the excess. This left me with a suitable s

Steve, I agree, you should expect to have better results from double sided reflow. It is more difficult to dial in a wave solder process for SMT components than a reflow oven. Besides that - adhesive is just no fun to work with.

Hi, colleagues! We only start using pb-free tehnology Our wave have foam fluxer What kind of flux would be best if we will use Sn100 solderbar What is your experience Best regards Peter
