We bake components in reels quite often using a low temp oven. If you look under JDEC standards they provide temps and baking times based off of the thickness of the part. The only problem with the low temp is that you could be looking at baking ti

Pd/Ag doesn't usually dissolve (leach) nearly as bad as Ag only. In my hybrid days, we would use 62/36/2 solder. The 2% silver helps saturate the solder joint and thus keep the Ag from being leached away by the Sn.

So just to clarify.... If i bought a KIC 2000 I could run that one unit over both my waves and through both my ovens (leaded and lead-free)? Or would I need additional equipment to use it on the wave?

I should have mentioned... the only flux we use for the hand soldering is wire-core, no bottle flux. I think it should be a non-issue to leave the activated wire core flux residue. I'm just looking for some way to prove it to the designer.

Thank you all for great responses. Now what is a Gerber file? Is it just a PCB layers and nothing useful as far as for programming? Thanks again.

Can anyone give me suggestions as to what software that can convert gerbers into cad data and be brought into Unicam (UGS PLM Software). We are currently using Gerbcam but it outdated and we need to upgrade soon. Thanks for your info.
