In order to get reliable reflow, you need to be at or higher than [liquidus + 20*C] for about 5 to 10 seconds. [I said 25* in a earlier post, but in an effort to stay on message, I'll stick with 20*] Don't forget that your liquidous is probably NOT

I am very happy with Alpha Metals WS709 or even WS609. Almost all of our product is Immersion gold and we place down to 16mil pitch every day along with 0201 and uBGA. Immersion gold from my experience, solders extremely well with every paste I hav

wlsmt: You’ve got to help us out here: * Why did you apply solder paste to capacitors prior to water washing the PCBA [where the caps were attached?]? * Did you reflow the Alpha WS-609? * How is the Alpha WS-820 involved in this? * Talk about the

Sounds like black pad to me. I just suffered this last week. Track your fab lot codes. Just in case. I processed 1000 fabs of 2 lot codes through 1 line (also WS609). 1 lot code failed with black pad the other did not. With one common mfg. proc

I've had some trouble pasting a test board for a MicroBGA trial. Most of the paste remains in the stencil apertures. The stencil is 6 mil thick, laser cut and electo-polished. The apertures are 12 mil in diameter with 20 mil pitch. We are using Alpha

| We are having some difficulty soldering a 240 pin Altera device. We use Alpha WS-609, a very generic profile for that solder paste, and a 6 mil stencil with laser cut apertures (1:1 ratio). This is a 20 mil pitch device (aperture size is 10 mils X
