| 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

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 I have seen flux seperate from the solder is when it is VERY old and out of date.Sometimes warmer ambient temperatures wi

The viscosity decrease on warming is one of the main reasons, but you also don't want to get moisture condensing on the surface of the paste. Activators in the paste (that are used to eliminate solderballs and enhance solderability on reflow) become

Hi, I wanted to know how can we test our paste quality, as viscosity, temperature in which it is delivered to the SMT line and other variables that can affect our paste dispense or soldering. Our concerns are that paste quality may be causing solde

I ran this test back in '92 or '93 when Alpha was first pushing to change from Brookfield to Malcolm readings. The correlation between Malcolm readings to solder paste height is good. I could always look at the viscosity reading and know at least a d

I have had a look at what Bob Willis say's and the answer to my problem is not there. The paste we are using has a very high viscosity and I beleive that if we reduce the metal content to less than 90% it will solve the problem. The problem is parti

Material, fumes, cured or uncured, all are suspect. Silicone gets on an operator's hands, that operator handles components ( even a day or more later ) silicone is transferred to the solder connections = contamination. Process and workcell control

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

Hege, can you share more info on the formulation you ended up using for the micro dot dispensing? I'm trying to find the proper metal load and viscosity for the auger valve dispenser that we are developing and it looks like the regular low viscosity
