Lead-free means expensive tin. Tin is an excellent solvent. So, metal parts in contact with molten tin must be expensive enough to resist that nature of tin. To learn more about this: * Search the fine SMTnet Archives * Look here: "Liquid Tin Corrosi

Hello everybody, We are running a product through wave solder process using three different PCB suppliers. I have noticed that you can see more flux residues (water-based, No-clean flux) on one supplier than on the other two. All three PCBs run unde

Hi George, I would suggest you to re-look your process parameters, especially for the pre-heat temperatures and the amount of flux deposited. The mask properties and that of your flux also play a role, but you could zero down to the root cause after

Hello I am having a problem with the flux in the wave solder, I am using a sonoflux 9000 this machine uses a air knife to spray the flux, it creates a mist that when hits the air knife pulls the mist up to the pallet where the board is, but for som

Process Flow #4 in davef's response is your best bet for this assemblly judging buy your pictures. We purchase our selective wave solder pallets from Ascentec Engineering - they can fabricate a pallet to hold your assemblies, keep the SMT devices pro

We had a SMT specialist come in and go over everything we were doing wrong! We were dipping the boards rather than spraying them, had the pre-heaters set way to low, the conveyor was going too fast, and the actual wave was in the machine the wrong wa

We have an application where an assembly has to be residue (flux) free except for 2 SMT non washable parts. Currently those parts are post wash hand adds but the product volume is exploding. We want to run those parts in SMT, mask them using an aut

Hello, We are buying a Vitronics-Soltec wave solder machine with a spray fluxer to replace our old Econopak that has a foam fluxer. Currently we thin our flux (Kester 951) in the foam fluxer per Kester PS-20 and PS-22 test kits with kester 110 thinn
