Bridging is the leading cause of defects on boards with fine-pitch components. This patented tool acts as a hot nitrogen knife to prevent bridging for small pitch up to 1mm (40mil) pin to pin distance even with longer leads and increased drag speed. The tool is now integrated with a non-wettable nozzle that is 3D printed out of stainless steel and hard chromized for maintenance free, infinitely long life. This ensures the nitrogen flow has a fixed position to the wave for a highly repeatable bridge prevention process.
