Sure, use of U-shape apertures is another way to reduce the amount of paste that you apply. That and similar schemes mentioned in the article are not a function of the flux used. We have used U-shaped apertures for MELF and mini-MELF. They are sug

At reflow an inert atmosphere is used to mitigate the occurance of oxidation, to me the decision weather to move from an inert atmosphere is based on several things ; PCB surface finish - are you using a HASL finish, OSP or another surface finish and

| Another basic soldering question. I notice that lead-free solders have become required for plumbing applications due to legislation. In a local hardware store, I noticed the existence of lead-free solders (based upon tin-copper I think) with a me

We always apply solder paste to either the PCB pads or the BGA balls. I have found that only using liquid or tacky flux does not always ensure proper wetting of the pads. Also The BGA sits closer to the PCB making cleaning and endoscopic inspection

In the past year I have introduced a component reclaim process. There are a number of machines on the market, though it's true that reclaim is still a fairly labour intensive activity. We have had good results with a German machine manufactured by Ro

Is this a "thermal balance" issue? In the 2nd image you have a group of pads blobbed together as one giant pad. IMHO this is a bad idea, QFN's rely heavily on the magic of your paste and good PCB design to get good alignment. When your solder paste i
