List of Materials:

1. Using cobar core solder 63/37 (Sn64 Pb37) type with flux core or.... the type of solder makes too much difference. 
The diameter of the wire needs to be small 0.012" to 0.020".

...

7. Hot plate (to achieve 220C)

8. Protective equipment 


Cobar core solder 63/37 type with flux core 

 


 

Solder-Wick by Chemtroncs (Left). Hex-Wick by Hexacon Electric Co. 

 


List of Steps

(use photos for reference -  NOTE: the "single" and "quad" modules are used interchangeably in the photos)

...

This step are illustrated in the photos here (for the quad modules):

 



and for the single modules here:

...

  • Apply the solder to the area between the solder wick and the heater. (the solder wick should be 0.03 inches in diameter, the solder wire should be between 0.012 and 0.02 inches in diameter
  • Once the solder is applied, turn off the hot plate and remove the fixture with the heater
    • Wear protective gear!! Be careful: do not to touch the hot plate!!
  • Let the solder cool

  • Once the solder is cool clean the flux away with alcohol and a wooden q-tip stick

  • Once complete the heater with the soldered on wicks will look like this:

Timed Process for mass implementation

  1. Hot plate [10 mins to heat up + 10 mins to stabilize]

    1. Turn on high setting.

    2. Attach the thermal sensor to the aluminum rectangle ( below the washer)

    3. Place the rectangle on the hot plate - make sure the wires don't bend and the electrical tape doesn't touch the aluminum.

    4. In 10 mins check the temperature and if ~ 250 ℃ - turn the hot plate to 3.5 and let stabilize (fluctuations of ± 2 ℃)

  2. Fixture setup [4-6 mins]

    1. Clean the fixture ethanol

    2. Lightly screw in the rectangles to the fixture

    3. Cut the solder wick into ~8cm lengths

    4. Set initial wire positions 

    5. Place the heater in the fixture in the right orientation (using a vacuum pen?)

    6. Tighten the screws making sure the wires are in the right position

    7. Clean the heaters with ethanol

  3. Soldering [5 mins + 6 mins - actual soldering ]

    1. Check the temperature ~ 245 ℃

    2. Using 2 pliers place the fixture with the heaters on the hot plate

    3. Wait ~4 mins for the fixture to come to the right temperature (it smells funky and smokes a bit)

    4. Using the <0.02” diameter solder perform the actual soldering - be careful not to over solder


  4. Clean up  [15 mins]

    1. Pick up the fixture with 2 pliers and place on the aluminum sheet

    2. Wait 2 mins for the fixture to cool down

    3. Use ethanol to clean up residue (napkins and Q-tips)

    4. Undo the screws and rectangles

    5. Remove the heater carefully (maybe vacuum pen will help here?) Sometimes the soldering makes the heaters stick to the fixture.

    6. Place the heater in the wax cover and measure the resistance

    7. Clean the fixture again to get it ready for the next heater.


Issues/Suggestions

  1. How to avoid over soldering? Practice?

  2. Speckles on the heaters after soldering - What are they?

  3. Maybe some kind of support for Thanh?

  4. How to label the heaters to record the resistance measurements? Mark the wax paper

Tests Performed

Test 1: May 2nd (Successful) [Spare Heater 1]

Spare heaters soldered at SLAC:

...

Resistance for the spare quad heater: 3.5 ohms

Test 2: May 13th (Successful)  [Spare Heater 2]

Resistance - 3.4 ohms

Issues -

  1.  Speckling on the heater surface - Remained even after cleaning the surface with Alcohol - Maybe the flux spluttering and then baking on the heater surface
  2.  Over Soldering - We requested Tan to use lesser solder in the process. Could also be because there was a small gap between the wick and the heater surface causing the solder to flow. 

 


Test 3: May 14th  (Not successful)  [Spare Heater 3]

 The wick just came off the heater without any force 

 


Test 4: May 15th (Not successful) - Re-did the same heater as the above.  [Spare Heater 3]

same issue - Wick just came off the heater. 


Test 5: May 16th (Successful) - Re-did the same heater as above.  [Spare Heater 3]

Why did it work this time?

...

Issues - during the failed tests, the reflective side placed on the bottom was scratched. 

 


Test 6: May 16th (Successful)  [Spare Heater 4]

 Resistance: 3.1 ohms 


 


Test 7: May 22nd (Successful)  [Spare Heater 5]

 Resistance: 2.8 ohms

Test 8: May 24th (Successful) [Spare Heater 6]

Resistance: 3.5 ohms

Stavelets

Old heaters were removed from stavelets to reload for radiation tests. They are different in dimension than the previous heaters. Their resistance distribution is as follows: Stavelet_heaters_Resistance_distribution.pdf
