Solder Check Analysis Program

Periodic solder pot analysis is recommended to maintain solder pot integrity and to check for any contaminants that may have an effect on quality and solderability issues.  We recommend a solder analysis every 2 -3 months, depending on the amount of PCB’s processed.  Qualitek’s solder check-up program determines the level of solder impurities and tin level that helps identify any process or solder joint problems.  To best suit your needs, Qualitek offers several solder check-up programs leaded and lead-free pots.   Programs A, B and C are for leaded pots and programs LF-1, LF-2 and LF-3 are for lead-free pots (see tables below).
