My company bought a used EBSO SPA 400-F selective solder machine at an auction. At the time we bought it we were not sure what kind of solder it was. So we had the solder sent in and analyzed, and it was leaded instead of lead-free. What options do I

What type of flux is in your solder paste? Active or No-Clean? With lead free solder you really should be using an active flux. The lead free oxidizes during reflow if you are not using a Nitrogen or Vapor Phase reflow. So a more robust and activ

Sr. Tech, Just think about it. How do you clean your stencil after you finish the job? Dry wipe and put it on the shelf? Dry wipe will work to some extent for simple boards, but your stencil will never be perfectly clean like if you use solvent. You

We bought a new lead free wave from Electrovert about a year ago and opted to not have the nitrogen options installed on this machine. We could not justify the cost of the nitrogen used versus the benefits that we would see. One downfall is that you
