| | We are having a bridging problem with SOIC 14,16 and 20 pin devices during flow solder of the bottom side of our boards. This bridging occurs about half way up the lead between the board and the body of the IC. The chip parts are no problem. T

Dear forum types, 1st timer so be good. I have a customer in China using Coates soldermask that in its self is not a problem. The problem is the flux their using, I think,it appears to have a vary high viscosity. The problem they have laid at my door

| looking for help with fine-pitch printing for what would be the best settings for printing speed, squeegee pressure, seperation speed. | thanks for you time Print speed is determined by your aperture dimensions, paste viscosity type of blade (metal

Hi, I had a question from our ISO guy asking me how I know that the paste we use is in good condition? The problem is that he saw our operator put some old paste back in a empty jar to reuse it the next day. So his question is how do you know the

Silicone-based coatings "repel" most foreign,non-compatible materials like peelable solder mask, and rubber or vinyl boots. The result is, uncured material around the vicinity of where the boot was. Trust me. Been there and done that. As a rookie

(Corrected the Subject line - sorry for Spelling ) You are very right. There are 2 major factors 1) There is going to be Flux separation. This is basically due to fact that metal particles are heavier than the Flux vehicle system, and due to gravity

One option might be to convert the coil to through hole and use intrusive reflow AKA pin in paste. the coil leads would have to be formed perpendicular to the board instead of parallel. you would have through holes instead of SMT pads, but you would

Paste sticking to squeegee: * Squeegee is heavily magnetized * Some pastes stick more than ... * Plastic squeegees stick more than metal * Old metal squeegees stick more than new * Paste needs to be worked * Paste needs to be at room temperatur
