Have you heard about the stamp soldering solution for THT? With a 25 second tact time maximum, for any size board and regardless of the THT component count, and much better yields than a fine tuned SMT process, stamp soldering can remove the largest

When I hear "pinholes" in solder connections, I think of two sources, depending on the situation, which can be either: + Entrapped air and process chemicals develop during reflow soldering to cause the pinholes in and around the intermetallic layer

I would always have top and bottom preheaters in a solderwave machine. Even if you can make it work without them, it's better to heat both sides of a board then just one. Far less stress on the parts you are soldering. Plus you may need it one day fo

We've used glass (pyrex, corningware) bread pans in the past, not filling them much over 1" deep. It takes a while but leaves solder ingots sized well to drop back in. Have not tried lead free yet, the higher temp could be an issue using same ty

A friend told me a story about "energy police" that are auditing power consumption in German electronics Manufacturing plants. A major upshot of this appears to be the concern of auditors is the always "ON" of wave soldering and reflow machines. Is

What exactly counts as "always on"? Our ROHS wave solder machine is always on during the week but the pot shuts off at the end of the shift and turns on early in the morning so that the solder is melted before we get to work. It is only using a small

Hexacon sells the LevChek, it is a special tempered glass plate for checking a wave solder machine. They make different sizes, so you can get one that is close to the maximum width of your wave. They also have grid lines etched on them so you watch i
