Hi, I am looking for the IPC criteria hole-to-lead ratio. Does anybody know a practical way to determine if some holes in my pcb's do not get enough solder in the wave solder machine because an inapropiate hole-to-lead ratio? Thanks in advance! Hi

It sounds like the process is very labor intensive, and all the verification is done after the parts are soldered. Assuming you are hand placing the components: 1 - Contact Systems semi-automatic placement machine. It show polarity when placing, so

Dave: I haven't located something to support your contention, yet, and I'm not going to comment on the factors that drive reliability beyond component selection, because I know that you've got some sweaty-palmed sales type wringing his hands waiting

Hi Grant, You already have a few good answers. If you have but one to a few BNC connectors I would kind of use the advice here or do what you already are doing aka hand soldering. I would not install a Wave Solder line for a really low volume of BN
