If you are experiencing flux migration, try refrigerating your paste when not in use. This causes the flux viscosity to go up. I have seen flux seperate from the solder is when it is VERY old and out of date.Sometimes warmer ambient temperatures wi

Paste for dispensing differs significantly from paste for printing. [B Toleno Henkel Loctite]. So, if you compare paste characteristics: Characteristic of paste||Printable ||Dispensable Viscosity [million centipoise]||0.8 to 1||0.2 to 0.4 Metal cont

Is anyone out there is the contract or the OEM sections using viscometers to check solder paste or glue for acurate process definitions. By this I mean check the materials viscosity over a period of time and measure the degradation of performance, t

Hi, Jar's quality is easier to measure. If you want to know paste viscosity etc. it's easier if you use jar. I have bad experiences about cartridges. I used cartridges for a short time but I change it back to jar because flux separated too easily in

The paste you dispense will not solder the same as the one you use with a stencil. The paste for the stencil will have a higher metal content. I was not working with dispensing as small as you are, but after evaluating the cost of the stencil vs. lon

"Poor release" (paste hanging-up in the stencil holes) could have three main (or combination of) causes: 1 Equipment: Stencil is too thick. Specifically, a 6 thou stencil should be OK, providing you don�t violate the area and aspect ratios in the fi

Steve: Continuing with Dan�s thinking, generally, "poor release" (paste hanging-up in the stencil holes) could have three main (or combination of) causes: 1 Equipment: Stencil is too thick. Specifically, your 0.006 should be OK, providing you don�

Flux: No-clean pastes tend to have a wider print process window in terms of print speed and pressure. More importantly, no-clean pastes are more tolerant to changes in temperature and humidity. They also exhibit longer stencil life than water-solub

Hi, We are in the process of evaluate our solder paste,incoming inspection over the solder paste, stencil requirments: 1- Is anybody using/requiring 1000 Kcps or more on viscosity to your solder paste provider ? Why ?? 2- Is anybody using step stenc

60-70% RH will be a challenge if you are running a water wash solder paste (and could be the reason you are seeing the problems). If you are running a no-clean, humidity should not be an issue. As long as the profile looks OK, I don't think the con
