I have seen a similar problem once about 15 yrs ago. Someone decided to try a water wash flux for tinning wires. Bad idea! The wires were dipped in the flux, then in a solder pot. As the lead tin's it forces the flux in the strands to move up the wir

We measure the thickness of solder paste printed onto PCBs as a control of the printing process. Generally 6 thou stencils are used and give between 6.2 and 6.8 thou. What thicknesses do other users get? Cheers! Mark

On SMTnet, we've discussed the the frailties of controlling paste height, when volume is a more telling measure. Sometimes if you seperate too quickly, the paste tries to stay attached to the aperture walls. This creates a 'U' shaped deposit with r

The Alpha metals Hi Check 500 is used to measure paste deposit thickness. The paste height is found from a micrometer reading determined by focussing a beam of light on a track adjacent to a paste deposit and then onto the solder paste. I've measure

Define "expired" though... 1 week? 6 weeks? 1 month? 6 months? Unrefrigerated life is generally 30 days. If paste has been stored refrigerated at manufacturer recommended temperatures, what would you guys do, like say, if you owned your own shop

I have a solder paste fridge; my question is what is the type of this connector so I can use it to attach a warning light. And is it a power source or is it a dry contact relay output?

Hi, As I have seen in the data sheets from solder paste suppliers they always recommend to keep the solder paste until it reaches the ambient temperature after taking out from normal storage temperature. Mostly the storage temperature is 5 - 10 Cels
