Hello,

This question might sound pretty basic to many of you but here it is:

We have a brand new wave soldering machine but we are having problems
getting rid of bridges. We tried to increase (or lower) conveyor speed, add
more flux, lower the wave, but nothing seems to work. Rotating the PCB 180o
doesn't help either. The bridges are either in the X or Y direction
(sometimes both) and, in one case, the connector leads have a pitch of about
0.080".

Any suggestions, basic theory about bridges would be appreciated.
