Electronics Forum | Thu Oct 17 21:32:28 EDT 2002 | davef

Please help to clairify the problem. Are we talking: * A pre-reflow [placement] problem? * A post-reflow [solder wetting] problem? Is the wetting issue that you mention related to the board or to the component? Please give us a little more detail

Hey guys, Anybody having trouble with increased false contact issues in ICT after switching from lead to lead free? Our test guys keep trying to imply that the flux residues are a problem (we're using Alpha EF2202), but as the soldering process eng

Seriously folks Kester has some major issues with their thickeners. Do not spend time fixing your process that is the same as it has been. As a post here stated, Alpha is going to Mexico, we will see probs form them here pretty soon as well. Kest

Best Alpha Lead Free WS paste??

Electronics Forum | Thu Jan 17 17:54:22 EST 2008 | dman97

Stay far away from the WS619 paste. It is a nightmare to get a decent solder joint out of it. And dont get me started on voiding issues with this paste. We eventually started to use Indium 3.2 lead free "water wash" paste and this drastically reduced

The same issue i faced 2 yrs before , i sugest 1. Use stencil of 4 mils ( Take care of Aspect Ratio and Area Ratio ). 2. Use Solder Paste of Type 4.5 and Viscosity in between 1100 to 1300. ( Try Solder Paste of Cookson or Alpha metals : OM338 T45-L
