Pad design for SMD Bottomside wave soldering - 5/9/01 -
- ... be made more reliable by decreasing the pad size. Wave soldering puts a tremendous amount of solder, relative to reflowed connections, on each end of the ceramic chunks that comprise SMT resistors and capacitors. Wave soldering puts more solder on these connections for two reasons: 1 There is more solder available to form the connection in wave soldering than reflow soldering. 2 Components are stood-off the board more in wave soldering than reflow soldering as a result of using adhesives to ...

Lead Free Wave Soldering - 7/22/04 -

Wave Soldering Equipment * Most modern wave solder machines can provide the necessary heat (preheat and wave) for lead-free soldering. * Nitrogen blanket may be required, depending upon the alloy selected. * High-tin alloys rapidly dissolve the materials often used in wave solder equipment. SS pots, nozzles, impellers, etc will need to be replaced with cast iron, titanium, or a special coating. * Wave soldering equipment manufacturers have had success using a ...

The three major approaches you have are: 1 SELECTIVE SOLDERING: Using: * Specialty wave soldering machine to solder specific areas of a board * Peculiar wave solder pallet on a standard wave solder machine to allow soldering specific areas, while block other areas from contact with the wave. 2 INTRUSIVE REFLOW: Using: * Paste printed on PTH pads and then reflow soldered ...

About your comments on wave soldering as an artform, no doubt you are an experienced and very good quality engineer, so that your instincts lead you to control the wave solder process. Yet behind what you have termed an artform is both knowledge and measurable, quantifiable data. This can be captured and responded to methodically, thus demystifying the wave solder process. Such an approach is certainly ...

smt components vs. wave solder - 11/11/02 -
- smt components vs. wave solder Like Mark, I'm guessing your problem is with SMT parts on the top side, the solder is re-melting and some of the parts are moving around during when the board is being wave soldered. When I had some training on thru hole wave soldering way back when, the target was 3 seconds of contact with solder when you wave solder. If the component leads have more than 3 seconds of contact, the top side of the board might get hot enough to reflow the solder joints on SMT parts ...

An easier way would be to Reflow solder all Bottom side SMD components with solder paste, followed by wave soldering for only through hole components using a customized "selective wave soldering pallet". One of the materials I could recommend for making such pallet is Durastone, but there could be some others as well. I had designed such pallets for our in ...

DELTA T in WAVE soldering is the temperature difference between your last preheat, to when your PCB assembly hits the wave solder. Rule of thumb in wave soldering...reduce your Delta T as much as possible before it hits the molten solder. Rule of thumb is 100?C. This can be accomplished from either increase of preheat, decrease of ...
