That you can solder the test points with a little extra flux and a good blast of heat makes me think there is nothing fundamentally wrong. I'd guess there is oxidation on some test points that is a little crustier than others. You might be able t

I was wondering if anyone could advise me as to the thickness of a selective jig for wave solder. We currently run with a difference of ~6.7mm from the base of the jig to the base of card which to me seems too deep but this is what our jig manufactur

FOR A TYPICAL BOARD WITH SMT PARTS ON TOP SIDE THAT ARE A MIXTURE OF ICS, RES, CAPS, ETC., AND THE BOTTOM SIDE HAS ONLY RES AND CAPS THAT ARE GLUED, I BELIEVE THAT THE NORMAL PROCESS WOULD BE TO GLUE, PLACE, AND CURE THE BOTTOM FIRST, THEN PASTE, PLA
