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 >>> Tom Moore <[log in to unmask]> January 14, 1998 5:27 pm >>> 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.
