Any processes that I need to be aware of that differs from standard FR4 during reflow and wave soldering? I've read one of the problems is the thermal expansion of teflon is quite different from copper. I've also seen a "blurb" where teflon absor

We have noticed that when you are using a no-clean flux with the wave solder process that you will have additional solderballs. One thing that we have done is to change the PCB finish to a matte finish. This has greatly reduced the number of solder

Hi everyone, I am looking for a reliable company (preferrably on the west coast) that can make Wave Solder and Press-Fit fixtures for our back-plane division. I need a reliable source that can take our data and produce quality fixtures in a 5-7 day

Short term fixes can be: have the vias "plugged" with solder by the fab house. This works if your fab is HASL finish. Tent the vias with solder mask, top side only. You may get a flux entrapment issue in the vias with this manner. Long term fix can

Unless your wave is very, very, very old - you are having your leg pulled. Or someone in your maintenance dept. is a little out of it. Most pre-heaters are already coated to prevent rust. Maybe the coating has flaked away, if so, I'd suggest using

One of our board fabricators says that carbon inks should be selected based on the process to be used by the assembler. So, their take on this question has some inks that work fine with nc fluxes, others that do not. They suggest: * Determining t

What is the maximum allowable thermal ramp rate for wave solder. We have a "short" machine used for selective soldering. To get the boards up to temp, we need to exceed our normal 2�C/sec. Are there any IPC documents governing this process? Anyon

Hany, Tg is "Glass Transition Temperature". For an informative explanation of what this is, take a look at; http://www.psrc.usm.edu/macrog/tg.htm MLB = Multi Layered Board Does the board which you have the problem with only pass through the wave

Dear all : We are suffering a severe curvature in our boards when coming out of the wave solder m/c. An Engineer suggested to enter them again for a second pass in the m/c expecting board were thermally mistreated just after the W.S. Can this real
