Tom Moore,

You are asking for more trouble as you fixed one trouble by
increasing the pot temp.  A higher solderpot temp reduces
solder tension. That is why your solder bridging is less.
What is your current pot temp? And what was it before?

regards
M. Park

Technetters,
In an attempt to reduce solder bridging between P-T-H leads
one of
our employees raised the temperature on the solder pot of
our wave
solder
machine. While this did alleviate most of the bridging
effecting the
boards,on one board type, a multi-layer board, we ended up
with numerous
overheated joints. Unfortunately it effected 27 boards, which
for our
small shop would be a large amount of rework.

Reviewing both A-610 and J-STD-001 we didn't see anything
that called
this out as a defect to rework or even a process indicator. Is
this
correct?
Thanks for your help.
Tom Moore
