Adam, Did some work on this a bit back via some good old Taguchi DOE and like Dave(the guru)F say's your component terminations is a big factor but I also foundthat the amount of flux you put on as well as the preheat's has an effect, generally we f

| Anyone using hot air nife for wave soldering process. | Does it work? | Does it really eliminate solder bridging and does it create any other problems? | | any feed back will be much appriciated. | | Thanks | | Tony A | | Tony, The hot knif

| Has anyone ever heard of testing solder paste quality by pasting a board and making a determination of the quality by measuring paste height and width after the board is pasted. Would you consider this a valid test for solder paste testing? | I ha

Hi Good Luck Neil, When I first saw this process described, what you are experiencing was my first visual thoughts. Partial filling as well as huge solder voids inside of the joints. I figured for low reliability product or short life maybe this t

Currently we are having a lot of solder balls, after a few hours of continous production. This is how we work: load new solder paste at the beginning of the shift, less than 500grms. Then, the operator loads new solder paste periodically, every 3 to

Sal, To answer your first statement; Yes, you can cure paste and reflow solder using one profile. Question on your second statement; Are you talking about running passive side glue, flipping it over, running active side solder, and then putting the

For 20 mil pitch pads, the volume control is more critical in terms of bridging concern. In general, solder paste for dispensing is more prone to slumping due to low metal load and low viscosity. If the volume dispensed is on the high end, or if the

On mixing paste: There could be a lot of hand wringing about the need to minimize solvent evaporation, flux separation, and chemical activity. [True alarmists will throw in oxidation of the alloy.] But I think the real concern is a change in viscosit
