dry joint solderabilyt problem
Abhi, dont get me wrong, there is a 100% need for the design engineer to do the designs based on best manufacturability (DFM) and to ensure that all footprints that are used in a Wave soldering machine are suitable for it.
However a lot also relies on the competence of the wave machine operators, in the past I have seen absolutely no problems with boards with what can only be described as "pads bad for wave soldering" being sent through the wave with absolutely no problems because the operator knew what he was doing and how to run it through, but on his days off we get complaints from his supervisor saying the pads must be too small.
Hence my suggestion.
So yes, ensure your libraries contain wave only footprints, your boards are designed with wave flow, shadowing, and all the other stuff in mind - you ensure you do your bit.
But you "may" still get problems on the shop floor and guess who they blame....... the designer - he must have designed it wrong.
If a company will not employ a skilled operator of such a high spec machine then they are losing out, the costs of fixing the faults will far outweigh the cost of a decent operator.
Such is life... we do our best but still get bitten on the ass...
