All the comments that have been made a great but I do have to say that much of the problem comes back to the design engineers not designing for manufacture. Centre board supports would have sorted the problem without jigs. | | I am running a board t

Hi, Are you coating the bottom of the palette with flux? What's the material of the palette. I have not seen that, but we did have some weird problems when we did not add flux on a virgin palette, but once it dirtied up a little it was ok. We had

You even try out control/cut the connector lead length & turn the wave pallet loading direction?

Are you talking about Durastone? That's what we use for our wave pallets. Both our wave vendor and solder bar vendor told us that we had nothing to worry about as far as Pb-contamination of the pallets. We have used the same pallets across our Sn

Having problem with a 2X50 SCKT Strip PTH component(fine pitch) bridging on the wave. The PCB runs in wave pallets. Just wanting to know what successful findings have been done to eliminate bridging? Pallet angles? Copper or titanium inserts? Air kni

Try titanium edge stiffners on the PCB before making solder pallets.

One thing you could check/monitor is the temperature in the pot/wave. As boards run across the wave, they will cause fluctuations in the wave temperature. The heaters should hep with minimizing this; but, if you're running a lot of boards in quick

Tony: Have a mask applied by the boardhouse which can be removed after soldering. We worked with pallets or tape but had bad luck with some boards. At present I would prefer a mask. M2C Wolfgang

Tony: You have choices: * Hi Temperature Tape: Go with Wolfgang ... too tough to control. * Selective Soldering Pallets: Some like 'em some don't. A lot of your success depends on the pallet fabricator. * Screenable Temporary Solder Mask: Wol

Wash them in Saponifier frequently at around 40C rinse and dry thoroughly. I would imagine it could be going white if you have a resin system in the flux that is not water soluble. Ensure you are using suitable pallet material up to 300C for Lead Fre
