Tom, This issue was diss in the forum. Since board can not be rotated, rotate TO-92 pkg as shown. 1. Direction thru wave -------------------> O O O or O O O OR you could add a robbing pad as shown 2. Direction thru wave -------------------> O O O O I am using Kester 951 as you do, I have no problem with the first option layout. My pad layout is smaller than the one you mentioned with a small section cut-out on the side of two pads facing each other as shown. CI D O regards Matthew Park Norsat International Inc. >>> "Fawn Industries, Elm City Plant" <[log in to unmask]> January 6, 1999 10:42 am >>> Techies, I have a PCB that uses 30-40 T0-92 transistors. My problem is that when I wave solder these PCB's, the majority of them have solder bridges. I believe the pad-pad spacing ( 0.5mm) is the problem. Lead protrusion is 1mm, pad size 1.4mm. Direction thru wave -------------------> O O O Soldering 200-210F until 490F at wave -Tried temp increase Conveyor speed 4.2ft/min - Tried faster and Slower Cannot rotate PCB Have to use NOclean flux - Kester 951 I would like to know what is usually recommended or what some of you use at your companies. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
