Yeh, I worked at Wang Computer factory in a reclaimed fabric mill with wooden floors. One of the causes of grapping is flux loss. In their paper, Briggs and Laskey talk about flux loss due to spreading and suggest: * Graping is much less prevalent i

We are now using solder paste(OM325) and I have some problems on the folowing process: 1. We use the solder paste softer(Malcom SP-1) to warm-up for 20 mins, when it just take from refrigerator. Is there any problems for solderpaste performance? 2.

Dstadem, Thanks for bringing your in valuable experience with the J STD 005 " Requirements of Solder Paste". I fully agree with you that the Solder Paste can be qualified for shelf life by doing simple viscosity test and visual inspection for coal

Hi All, I am retrofitting a machine with a solder paste dispenser head, and am trying to decide what direction to go, with a dispense valve. The choices I know are either a standard Air over, or some kind of positive displacement valve such as a sc

| Hi Carol- | What you are asking for can be done. Variables you must account for include the paste viscosity, dispensing head speed, dispenser height relative to board surface, and needle size. You can use most any semi-automated system such as Ca

Here's some quick things to look for: 1. Does your solder paste feel like concrete, does it roll-up into your squeegee blades, and stick to your stencil? If so, your problem is the solder paste. The mixture of powder and flux, or metal load is ou

PKannan, Your opinion is contrary to J-STD-005 "Requirements for Soldering Paste". Within that document is included specific requirements for re-certification of expired solder paste. Paste that is expired can be used after a simple viscosity test an
