We have had expierience to convert our wave solder machine EPK1(1995g)with cast iron solder pot for lead free SN100.It runs about year and half now without problem.

some lead free solders do not flow well and need encouragment. what are you using solder/flux wise and machine/settings including dwell times cheers greg

Hello, does anyone know if it's possible to wave solder 0402 components? Are there drawbacks? Where can I find technical details about recommended footprint and glue point? Last question: are there suggestions about wave soldering for ic with 0,635mm

Thanks guys. They are seen on some of the pads too. What will happen if I continue to solder them and I got a good solder joint formation? Will the pad continue to erode or corode in due time? or the solder that will recoat its surface will prevent

The trick would be to externally pre-heat your Metal cavity to attain sufficient temperature and then to flow in solder. This would ensure proper solder distribution inside the cavity.

I work for one of the largest automotive suppliers. Our Workmanship Standards pre-date IPC-610 but they are nearly identical in regards to solder balls. We supply to all the major OEMs, including the Japanese, and I don't recall our solder ball sta

You have a board defect. Any moisture and/or organic contaminants trapped by the solder resist during lamination may cause solder mask delamination, blistering and/or adhesion loss during subsequent soldering operations or during extended use.

Is it possible that the assembler is using solder wire that's too small for the application and feeding it too quickly to compensate?
