| Ok folk's has anyone used Alpha Metal's UP78 solder paste ? | | Our place is looking to move to that as the way to go, getting rid of the Hereaus 362's and Alpha 737's of the current set up. | | My question's are really : | how is the printabilit

Kurt: Lots of choices, not many of them good, yano. 1 So LPI has taken over the market pretty nearly 100%, but it won't "tent" reliably, because it is not very viscous when applied and drops into the hole. So then, tenting/plugging with LPI is bad

| Recently, someone in the SMTNET forum had installed a Wells-CTI Z-Lok socket and found that it was one row off from the board layout pads. Was the problem due to a layout error or was the datasheet incorrect? Dave ol' pal...dat wuz me...

Gyver: Lemme take a wack [if you�ll excuse the expression, given direction of the later discussion] at your questions. Q1. Will the baking of BGA or PCB cause more oxidation before the SMT process? A1. It certainly will not cause less oxidation,

Gentlemen, Please consider that ionic testing is designed only for detecting ionic contaminants. Yes there are instances of non-ionic contaminants that cause premature circuit failure. However, more importantly the prevailing specs are less than adeq

Dave, I've had a few intersting conversations with Dr Lee, now there's a guy who know's stuff, but as it turn's out even he doesn't have all the answers on why things void. Many of his papers point towards oxides or contamination on the ball, so age
