PS, we had a similar situation when a quick disconnect on the flux supply went bad, limiting flow. Take the nozzle off and turn the fluxer on, you should get a lot of flux flow, If not, the lines are probably clogged.

May need to change nozzles for this waterbased flux. Seems quite high to me as well Russ

Definitely too much pressure for any fluxer I've seen. Something must be restricting the flow. Maybe the nozzle.

ya don't need no stinkin pads. just run sum fine gauge insulated jumpah wires from da I.C. legs (da ones with da missin pads) to da traces or where-ever dem traces end up. dat should get er dun !!!!

Actually I'd gotten tired of waiting on hold, but the last time I called I left a message. Great customer support once you get someone. Got a driver and a .pdf for a 17 year old ISA card!

I've got some MELF packages that reflow and connect but later fall out of the solder pretty easily. We are not using epoxy but, the parts have fillets per IPC standards. We have not looked at cross-sectioning for IMC and don't plan to at the moment

Have you tested the solderability of the inbound components per ANSI/J-STD-002, Solderability Tests for Component Leads, Terminations, Lugs, Terminals, and Wires?

Hi all, If a component is rated as Peak Temperature 225 DegC. Is there a safety factor built into this rating or is it exact? df...

I thought that it was a worse case scenario. This is when you first get failure but most components will withstand greater temps. What are these temps? Who knows.

It's the max you can put them through before you can expect failures. However some suppliers - particularly the Japanese have a higher safety window. IS it a through hole part you looking at intrusively reflowing?
