Preheating is critical in Vapor Phase Soldering. One trick that is done is to use the "soft vapor" area just above the soldering vapor, some machines can pause just before going into the soldering vapor. Using that pause above the vapor to continue

Hello to everybody in this forum, I would like to know any information that you kindly may have about the following subject: We very often do manual soldering assembly of immersion tin finished PCBs. Since thiourea is used in the formulation of the

I don't fully understand what you are trying to do... 1. Reflow Solder in a Vacuum Temp Chamber 2. Vapor Phase / Condensation Solder with Vacuum 3. Contact Heat system with Vacuum 4. Inline Reflow Oven with Vacuum ... or what you are trying to sold

I'm not sure what happened to my post, but we think to have got the situation under control. The solder joints on the boards looked terrible. I can only describe it as unburnt flux, maybe. (like if you took a spoonful of solder and sprayed flux direc

First, don't exceed the maximum temperature of the battery, say 85*C [I don't know your specifics] Second, don't short the terminals of the battery. Third, the best way to wave solder a battery is: * Insert an insulating tab between the battery an

Sure, the formulation and purpose of a soldering flux and a socket cleaner are basically the same. Off the top of my head, differences are: * Activation temperature: soldering flux [~200*C], socket cleaner [~120*F] * Compatibility with some solder

Typically - hand soldering as you are currently doing. Should your volume justify it you can invest in a selective soldering solution, these might take the form of a robotic arm that essentially replicates manual soldering or a solder jet similar to

Any lead free will eat a leaded designed wave soldering machine. But SN100c will eat it the slowest, our soldering tips used to only last 3 months with SAC305 when we changed to SN100c solder wire we are having around 9 months tip life. Our wave sol

What type of solder are you using, Lead or Lead-Free? What is the melting point of it? What temperature are you setting your solder bath to? Possible solutions: 1) Give your solder bath a little more time to even out the temperature across the en

We are trying to build two different PCBs - one with no wash flux solder paste and the other with a washable flux solder paste. How difficult is it to use the same SMT line and switch between the two pastes? I assume there will be some cleaning invol
