For reflow, bump up your profile as hot as you can go as allowed by your paste manufacturer will allow. If you can change solder paste without too much red tape, several solder paste manufacturers make a transitional paste designed for mix of lead a

We put glue on the bottom of the board that already has the topside SMT mounted. We populate the board. We put it through a cure profile. At this stage the topside components are soldered on. The bottom side components are glued on with NO solder on

Having been around the block, an old lead head from way back, I've used MOLE, KIC,and Datapaq. They all do the same thing, but I'd have to give the edge to KIC. 9 ports and automatic wave detection. Also, KIC2000 is as user friendly as you can get

We have a 3/6 Nozzle We do have monitors. One of our pots is leaded, the other is lead free. Our average wave height is ussually around 50%. Also, do you have any or found any benefits to removing nozzels at the end of your shift. I recall you say

We are experiencing delamination / measling on card we have been running for years. No change in process. Same equipment, profiles etc. The weird thing is we are experiencing it on pwbs from different mfgs and different processes (reflow, wave, selec

OK thanks. I had assumed that since the soldering was generally smooth and we were having no issues with bridges that the flux would be operating fine. But there really isn't much left to check so I'll get my profiler fixed (the thermocouple has been

Hi Dave! Yeah, they've been around a while, and they're pretty straight foward like you said. About the only things that I can think of that I've run across that causes problems with these guys is when they're used on the bottomside of the board

I do want to run a profile, but they won't give up the machine long enough for me to run one. The boards that we are running through the wave are large boards, with large caps, and large transformers on it. We're building highend power amps that

I will start with the statement that I think it is great that we have the ability to solder SMT components that emulates wave soldered components. With that in mind, I would want to find acceptance criteria to be similiar, regardless of the solder me
