Sorry if my previous note didn't contain all the info. I have problems with SOIC 16 tom and SOIC 14 and also with small 0805, 1206 resistors. I'm running at 4.0 ft/min. I cannot change the rotation of the board because of the solder theives that have been designed to help me. By the way, sometimes the solder theives are not soldered. This is not a defect but and indication that something is wrong. The pads have been designed for wave soldering as far as I know. It's just that I get more of this problem near the fingers. Detachable rails would surely help but they wouldn't resolve the problem 100% since the problem is found elsewhere. Thank you. ---------- From: owner-technet To: TechNet Subject: Re: [TECHNET] Assy: Soldering on gold plated pads
