Krish, Looks like your peak temperature is around 230C and time above 183C is about 120-150 seconds. This is excessive for a leaded BGA. You should be aiming at 200 - 215C as the peak joint temperature with time above 183C of 60 -90 seconds. The p

We've used mostly cartridges for many years and I only saw separation once when a particular paste supplier had a problem. With cartridges it's just thaw and use - no mixing. We have some sites that use jars along with mixers and I've never been co

| I have a problem with measling on our PCB's. We saw it on our FR4 PCB's at final assembly yesterday. Is this a defect from the board vendor or something we did in our assembly process when building the PCA's (thru hole). Could the wave solder ma
