Hi Ya'll! I've been wave soldering some boards today that we've been building for a customer over the last 2-months. They're a little 2" X 2" PTH board in a 30-up panel, and haven't given me a lick of trouble till today...been waving fine for the past two months. Other than wanting to bow big time while warming up before hitting the wave, there really isn't much to em'. They came out of the wave today with random barrels missing solder...and when you look at the barrels that's missing solder, it's like the solder just tinned the barrel and lead, and then said "hasta la vista baby, I'm outta here.." and just dropped outta the holes?!?! It's random too...not concentrated in any one area. What's got me perplexed is why did it appear that it wet to the barrel and lead by the way it tinned them, but didn't stay up in the barrel? There's no vibration anywhere, and the conveyer runs as smooth as a babies butt...and I don't use a hot air knife. Nothing has changed with my settings that I've used over the past 2-months and have been working great up until today. I'm water soluble, foam stone fluxer, Soltec Prisma with convection pre-heat, and Kester Flux. Cleaned the pot and flux tank this weekend, so I was starting with a nice dross-less pot and fresh flux...so what gives? Anybody seen this before? Any ideas? Thanks in Advance! -Steve Gregory- ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC's web site (http://www.ipc.org) "On-Line Services" section for additional information.
