I haven't tried anything like that but had some experience with .8 mm pitch SSOPs. Immersion depth in wave was very critical- had to control Lambda pump speeds within 20 RPM and even then it would change as solder level dropped. Need thieving pads o

Hi John, It depends on what equipment and resources you have at your disposal - if you have an antique wave with crap adjustment & hand sprayed flux, no debridging/air knife system on a tightly packed board with a multitude of fine pitch connectors

See if the solder is leaving the pad(s) and is wicking up the component. This is long shot but I have seen something similar to this possibly in a wave process. We had a very thin board and a very large QFP on top. During wave operation the solder

WaveRiders do work well. But they just measure, do they do not adjust anything. It's up to you or your staff to interpret and adjust your machine accordingly. It�s one of those tools that is affective, but only to the extent of you�re willing to u

I have CCA that has a SN100C HASL coating that I am wave soldering with SbPb. I have mounting pad areas on the CCA that are masked with a pallet during reflow so they are not exposed to the solder. The mounting pads are turning gray in some areas of

Dear All I hope I can get some advice of PCB experts in here.My problem is - after wave, our big board, 640x420x1.7mm, had a warpage when the board was cooled down after wave. PCB was flat while being warm.I had tried with many type of pallet and mad

Hello Chris I had a similar problem, what work for us was a combination of fluxer and preheat, we try different approaches what work was high pressure and a low traverse speed, and really heating up the upper part of the board, you see we need to u
