Hi Gary, I've got your pictures posted: http://stevezeva.homestead.com/Area_to_be_cleaned.JPG http://stevezeva.homestead.com/Lamp_soldering.JPG http://stevezeva.homestead.com/T1_Lamp_with_filter.JPG I think you're right about the leads being stressed, that's a pretty severe bend so close to the glass like that...

Have stated cleaning using 140° Fahrenheit water will know the results tomorrow. Also found that the leads were being stressed when formed possibility of breaking the glass seal during thermal cycles (lamps are running around 95° to 104° Celsius when energized). My concern was after this panel was potted if not fully clean residual flux could work its way up the lead to the lamp. Th lamps are tested prior to assembly and work 100% of the time however they are hot. Thanks for all your help, this form is great and I have always have gotten great advice. --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 16.0 To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives For additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 ----------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service.
