Have you considered using a masking wave solder pallet as opposed to going with new equipment. Utilizing Gerber files we have succesfully designed and manufactured this type of pallet for over five years. If this approach sounds like something you'

Hola I have this connector (atached image) for Wave Solder process, there is one pin with no solder on the top, for me it seems that the large trace connected to that pin is "stealing" the heat... I'm not WS expert... can it be corrected by profile?

Earl, We have found that many people get closer to a zero defect program using pallets. Since you eliminate manula masking you eliminate on huge area of possible defects production. Since the pallets can align connectors etc, you get less defects due

Problem: Flux remains on the board in the masked areas after the wave solder process. We use Multicore X32-10m no clean flux. There is no post wave cleaning. While the flux residue is not conductive, it is unsightly and it may interfere with a be

It should only be a visual thing. What may be happening is that all the thermal energy being driven into the wave solder pallet to get good soldering is causing the no-clean residues to burn up a bit, causing the discoloring. Check to see if they hav

| We are wave soldering a board having 24 similar thru hole connectors on it, using a wave soldering pallet. The problem is that one particular pin of connector in around 6-9 connectors get excess solder on the bottom side. I have tried all the par

Dave, that's good thread, but I think Mike is more concerned with the Titanium inserts that pallet manufacturers often use to overcome sh*tty designs - like the ones where they put a Through-hole 2mm away from a SMT pad. He's not so concerned about t

Hi Dave G, This is an interesting problem.. I can only add the following: - Try trimming the pins and see it this helps.. sometimes the decreased surface area will lessen the surface tension enough to minimize the effect of bridging. - As Dave F was

I have gold fingers that I want to mask when running over the wave without pallets. They're on the leading edge of the board. I recall seeing rubber boots that slid onto the fingers to mask them. Pop 'em on before the wave; pop' em off after and r
