Bob, Great theory if you're selling SN100C, but I have to disagree that an alloy being 4�C off eutectic will cause cracks. When a solder joint exits the solder wave, there is an immediate drop in temperature of 100�C. so being off 4�C is irrelevant.

We've noticed that there are many different recommendations for pad sizes for various SMT parts. This seems to vary wildly from manufacturer to manufacturer for the same case sizes. Is there any standards that can used used to specify these sizes?

Lead free is not define as NO lead and "a maximum concentration value of 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials for lead shall be tolerated." Check below link. So replaced your solder from the pot when exceed 0.1%. http://www.leadfree.org/files

We use a single large pad on board and reduce stencil aperture 50%. If you mask/reduce the thermal pad the solder will not wet out to edges and you will still see the part standoff with the open joints. the purpose of reduction is to wet the paste

Never used stainless pots as when we converted to lead free we changed all the pots to titanium. Been using SN100C for many years now, very good results, also use it in reel form in our selective solder machines with great results. Bear in mind the

We've run for about 2 years with SN100C on a Stainless pot, and all looking OK at the moment - we have just drained the pot and swapped to a similar solder (customer request)so we had a good look as we were interested to see what was happening. To be

Thanks, good input. The joints do seem to wet well, they pass solderability test we have done. The defect is apparent right after reflow, before wave solder. No we do not profiled with the oven loaded..... good idea. We run an ovenrider each shift an

We are evaluating a low halide Water soldering flux (Aim WS716). Has anyone had good/bad experience with it? Our operator has mentioned strong and irrating smell, even when standing a foot away from the conveyor entry/exit. The fluxer is embedded w

What is the industry standard for wave and selective solder PPM defect rate for a world class facility, any responses are appreciated.

Are you talking about Durastone? That's what we use for our wave pallets. Both our wave vendor and solder bar vendor told us that we had nothing to worry about as far as Pb-contamination of the pallets. We have used the same pallets across our Sn
