We've used glass (pyrex, corningware) bread pans in the past, not filling them much over 1" deep. It takes a while but leaves solder ingots sized well to drop back in. Have not tried lead free yet, the higher temp could be an issue using same ty

Hi John - send me an email (david.hillman@collins.com) and I can send you a few photos of what Mike K. was describing in terms of the solder joint surface being "etched" by the cleaning solution. The dull appearance is due to the abundance of lead o

Hi Graham - brite acid tin gets it "shiny" appearance due to codeposited organic material in the tin plating. The codeposited materials volatilize during the soldering process causing a ton of voids. Brite acid tin plating should not be used as a sol

For components with the large pads, you can also use secondary soldering dispensing. Some printers like DEK have an option to mount a syringe with an auger valve to do dispensing after the printing step process. Obviously will not work if you have to

@Evtimov I can't use flux as the components being soldered can't cope with any contamination whatsoever. Even an ultra low solids no-clean flux will be too much. I also can't clean the boards after soldering due to any residual contamination from the

We are currently producing a project that brings a TQFP64. But some boards do not solder the component well with its ideal fillet, some are well soldered when they come out of the reflow oven, but some are not. Can the pins be sulphated? How can we c

We have an Ersa and an Ace machine. The Ersa is made for bigger volumes of boards. Programming is longer/harder and not as user friendly. If your running 100 boards or less.....the Ace is the way to go. If you need flexibility the Ace is better.
