Thanks for the reply Stephen. The time factor sounds logical for moisture invasion during cleaning, probably why there's no articles showing concern about the process. I did try experimenting with some samples and believe it or not could not dupli

Getting the paste from the jar and into the cartridge without entrapping air can be difficult. Can you not just transfer the 500g jar into smaller working jars? This way you can keep the bulk of your paste refrigerated until needed. Air is not your f

The three primary causes for bubble generation in solvent-based coatings are: * Air entrapment * Solvent flash-off * Curing the coating too quickly Tell us more about your process including: * When you first notice the bubbles * Extent of the probl

When I hear "pinholes" in solder connections, I think of two sources, depending on the situation, which can be either: + Entrapped air and process chemicals develop during reflow soldering to cause the pinholes in and around the intermetallic layer

Check the microphone data sheet to find out what the max temperature is...if it's not listed, call the manufacturer. Are you water-washing the board after assembly? Could be water intrusion/entrapment in the microphone. Again, check the data she

Please let me rephrase the question. Running passive side first and curing the adhesive using a reflow profile derived for 63/37 solder paste. After curing the board is flipped around, pasted and reflowed. My concern is when curing the adhesive usin

Getting people to stop sounds like a good idea, but once they get running after a lengthy set-up, you can sort of understand why they don't want to stop when they quickly run out of paste after emptying a partially filled tube. Beyond the paste qual

Dave, Thank you for the information. We will be conducting several tests in the near future that will evaluate the corrosion/contamination response as it is our primary concern once we remove our aqueous processes. We are well aware of the effects
