Q1: What is "enough surface free energy"? A1: Look here for background: http://www.azom.com/details.asp?ArticleID=1575 Q2: How do I determine surface free energy? A2: We look at it a relative term. For instance, a semi matte finish on solder mask

Hi, We tried that, as the Soltec has a spray fluxer that can flux just the connector part of the board, however we get really heavy solder deposits on the rest of the board that has no flux sprayed on it, so we seem to need to coat the entire board.

If you let your design team leave things up to chance, chances are something will go wrong. You are right to want to take control rather than be lead down an undesirable path by the fab house. Various masks serve certain desirable purposes. You need

Hi Armynski, I sell for an offshore board house, yes, it is common for offshore board shops to fill vias. The bubble is caused by air entrampment within the hole it self, when heat is applied during Hot air and the via is covered on both sides the e

Good morning Jamie. I work at a CM and can offer some input on process flexability. I do not have any data on how reliable the coating is but I can say that they are both very difficult to control. Will you be selective coating or full coating? Ho

| 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
