| What approach do you you use to reducing wave solder dross? What is your experience with Klennox? | Dave F Dave, I use Kleenox on my Air-Vac Volcanic Soldering pots. The stuff works great. It significantly reduces the amount of dross you remove

The Reflow Soldering Interactive Test was well received in the industry with over 200 engineers testing their process knowledge. Now its time to take the Wave Soldering challenge and test you knowledge on soldering through hole and surface mount. Bot

We're running mixed technology boards with moisture sensitive devices on the top side thru our wave machine. Should I be worrying about "popcorning" these devices if they have been sitting out collecting moisture between the application of SM devices

Presently many of our boards are wave soldered with 0603 chips on the bottom side, with soldering PPM level of 500 PPM. Apart from dispensing the glue we do screen print the glue depending upon the product maturity. My question is, 1. Can we print t

The first thing is all the TSOP suppliers like Intel do not rate the parts at normal temperature used in wave soldering. The spec is less than 230C so you have the reliability issue to consider and no one to blame when they do not work. You also have

As a basic guide the minimum spec you should look for is 500g you should achieve a force on most chip parts of 800-1000g. Parts are lost on wave soldering due to no material, poor curing, poor surface adhesion and poor handling. Its not the wave sold

Your point about thermosets getting soft in the preheater of the wave is well taken. But an adhesive that is used past its expiry or other up-front lack of process control represent 99 & 44/100 percent of the reason for �glued parts falling off in

We are considering converting from a water wash wave solder porcess of carbon ink touch pad buttons to a no-clean process. Since the carbon ink buttons are exposed to the molten solder, we are concerned about the residue that is left behind from the

What is the rule-of-thumb on wave profiling Ceramics? I've used 2 methods: 1.) putting the T/C on the lead, and get a pretty good delta (within 50-80 deg. before hitting chip wave), well within manufacturer's spec. 2.) Right on the part body.

Is it just certain locations on the board, or is it random, does it occur on every board, does this happen on any other products you have been running? If this occurs only on the 1 board and in random locations I wouldn�t say its your wave setup. I
