Vertical fill solder | 8 September, 2005

Hello,

Could anyone provide some support concern issue with vertical fill of through hole solder. Our lead free wave soldering process is not capable to fill 100% (requirement of our customer)through hole. We made everything (DoE) - different amount of flux, preheating, wave high, speed but without satisfactory results. Probably have a noise factors. Component is connector with 10 pins Tin finishing and PCB is immersion TIN. Alloy is SAC305 and flux KESTER - VOC free and Alcohol both capable for lead free process. See http://mail.dir.bg/~lmr/166XX_1.JPG I suppose that the reason is the higher thermal mass of the connector and non-good wetting property of immersion TIN PCB after SMD i.e. have a oxidation. If anyone be faced with this issue I will be grateful to know what can be the solution.

Thank you

if the problem is wetting change the flux type. have you tried adjusting the temperature of the wave? if your getting 100% wetting id decrease the wave temperature, or try a flux that is less active.

I will try with temperature 255 C degrees. The wetting force vs. solder temperature for SAC305 is more than 265 C degrees (the temperature of trials). Thanks for the advise.
