We are in the process of getting into no-clean paste and fluxes. One important issue in this is sodler balling. I have heard some people say that having a matte finish would help in having lesser solder balls and that the solder balls would not be

I am looking for information regarding post wave soldering of stranded wires into a circuit board using OA core wire solder. We do a final pass thru the cleaner after the hand soldering but I'm concerned about any OA flux residue that may have wicke

You're correct that the Ni/Pd termination seems to have something to do with you solder balling. It could be related to the interaction between your paste and the Pd. I assume these are really 'fines' rather than 'balls'. Things that come to mind a

Hello, Is it possible to put polystyrene caps through the wave solder process ? We have always hand soldered these as temperature sensitive parts but would rather include them with other PTH parts through the wave solder. Manufacturer was little h

Hi,davef, thanks for your concern. The condition was the pasted printed off with around 0.8~0.9mm from the land pattern. This will easy observe at QFP area. At fiducial, the stencil seens aligned accurately. Once solder bridge happend, its easy to

Hi, I have a lot of solder bridge in our wave soldering process.We use SACX0307 and Surf 11 flux.the SW mashine is Vitronics delta 6622.Itry to change flux and termoprofile but results is not god.Can you halp me - recommend me some flux or other adv

I should know the answer to this question but it's Friday and my brain hurts. When soldering you create fumes that are from the soldering flux.. These fumes should be extracted or diverted. Question is at what point does the leaded alloy become a vap

We had same problem. Solder balls appeared on top side of board and led to damaged second side stencles. We worked around problem by running blank boards thru oven and inspecting and removing solder before processing boards with parts.

I have seen the solder shoot out at least 4"-6" from both the leading and trailing edge when this happens. If the open pockets are real deep you may want to use a turbulent/chip wave for soldering, sometimes this leaves bridges however.

i want to know which type of solder paste and reflow profile can support the solder pad with nickel but not covered gold on the pcb.
