| Well my process is I'm running my belt speed at 3.50fpm and about 215 to 225 degrees top side. I got my main wave down to a little less than half the board thickness. I'm not using a hot air knife cause we thought it might create more of a problem

Calling for an input from the Experts our there. Our customer is questioning the cleanliness of the no-clean product that we produced for them. We were asked to clean the board (localised cleaning) after rework (IC need to be changed due to an up re

I am attempting to reball some PBGA's with no luck. The problem is getting the solder spheres to sit in the stencil apertures and removing excess spheres. I apply light amount of flux to pads of a BGA, align a stencil over a BGA, then pour solder s

| Hi all, | | I thought I'd use this forum to ask a couple general questions on fluxes for manual operations: | First - Is it OK to use a wave soldering type flux (specifically OA)? Thinking about activation temperatures and the ramp rate of the wav

I'm just shooting ideas here, but maybe a via hole in the middle of the solder pad would drain the excess solder by capillary force? Or using a tin plated PCB and printing flux only, then place and reflow. depending on the thickness of the tin plati

Does your paste provider recommend a TAL? For the leaded and lead-free pastes that we use, the manufacturer recommends 60 seconds above liquidous. I note that your profile shows the TAL as 30 seconds, which may not be sufficient. That said, tho

Wolfgang: Boy it's tough to convey context in this medium, isn't it? Clipped from our paste storage work instruction, environmental effects on paste are: 1a Avoid excessive heat (over 80� F). It causes flux separation, reducing print quality. 1b

Tim- You have two separate issues 1) Stencils and 2) wave. Stencils you can purchase a ultrasonic system that will remove the paste automatically or you can use stencil wipes to remove it manually. I would refrain from using towels and IPA as it dilu

There a few questions that I have for you. 1. What type of flux are you using? 2. What temps are your preheaters set at? 3. Can you possibly place them on after the wave? The reason I'm asking is that there may be some adjustments to the wave to bur
