| Anyone have any experience with ECD's Waverider/MOLE profiling equipment? If so, were they positive experiences? | I use ECD's mole for profiling in the wave and a KIC for profiling in reflow. I like the KIC a whole lot better for a couple of re

I'd like to add something about the ECD product. During a past work term (I'm a a co-op student) in an SMA plant, I worked extensively with the Super MOLE Gold in developing the reflow profiles for high-mix, low-volume production. I was 'married' t

Hypothesis #1: We agree with Steve. You are probably seeing the nickel underplate. The gold was absorbed into the solder in portions of a second, so that you don't see it is not surprising. We're guessing that the gold was porous and allowed the n

First of all, if you are going to tell me to throw my crappy equipment away, and buy a better oven because 3 zones isn't enough for lead free soldering, please find another thread to troll in. We have been using a Hotflow 3 for several years for lea

Hi. Aside from the good advice above, wish to throw in our experience with our 1809EXL. Had < 200 on-hours and the oven would not melt the assorted fresh paste we sourced from different suppliers. The s/w reported that the set temps were being

Here is what I would do faced with your problem. First I would profile a similar board or use an existing profile. From there I would place the dummy device on the surface of a sample board with a thin thermocouple soldered to the board surface under
