Hello All, I have a problem with nonwetting Au finish after second cycle of reflow soldering doublesided boards. Solder nonwetted pcb pads (is wicked to component terminations) Either these pads or some of non component pads became discoloured from

You're correct. It's a peculiar looking defect. With measling, we expect to see discrete white spots or crosses just below the surface of the base material. We don't see that here. We do see a similar condition at almost every PTH in the picture, a

The best method i have for the few lifted/bent lead issues we have is i use a ic/bridge inspector with all its default options to check for bridges and solder at the tip. then i add a solder inspector but this time accrost all pins at the downslope o

After 16 years in the industry, I have honestly never heard of putting wax in a solder pot. Anyway, I do have some experience with Treiber wave solder machines, and as I recall, the air-driven pumps are a nightmare to service. First of all, make su

I had a benchtop Yestech demo until for a couple weeks. It was a very good machine. I particularly liked the RGB light system which gave a good visual representation of solder fillets. There was software that allowed you to evaluate based on the p

David, Assuming your machine has a WHITE controler, not a SILVER controler, there is a floppy drive inside the front panel of the controler. (Remove the top cover to reach the 50pin cable.) If Tom offers you a disk to try in the machine, go ahead. T

The only thing I see that might be a fuse is the green vertical axial leaded component next to the third from the bottom white 4-pin header. It's labeled ?718 or 710. I don't know if this is a resistor or a pico fuse. You can try to ohm it out. An

We have four pick and place machines all exibiting a residue that seems to build up over time on wiring and electrical components. This residue appears as a white haze on wiring, caps and fuses (these are the components where it is most obvious). Y

I have two new quad feeder bases and feeders (my machine came with none to start, and I can't find any electrical information on them. I have 4 pins at the each end (total of 4 connectors. And are in a 4 pin connector which looks identical to a sta
