500 rejected (?) per million placed components is a very good rate, considered that it would be better than 4 Sigma if you name it defects on the board. Or do I incorrectly convert ppm to dpm? * 3 Sigma 66,800 defects per one million opportuniti

Presently many of our boards are wave soldered with 0603 chips on the bottom side, with soldering PPM level of 500 PPM. Apart from dispensing the glue we do screen print the glue depending upon the product maturity. My question is, 1. Can we print t

Not sure if this helps but found this site that outlines % of N2 against O2 ppm levels. You need 99.99% N2 purity for http://www.tkb-4u.com/articles/consumables/whatisnitrogen/whatisnitrogen.php Most customers we have worked with in the past run an

Dear Frang. The right O2 level are mostly determined by the products you produce (E.i. PCB surface and component solderability). In reflow I would say the window is between 100 and 1000 ppm, depending on the issues above. Personal I choose a maximu

I would...and then use the data of the known issues as part of the secondary analysis. The defect is a defect, one way or the other. You can use the secondary analysis of your PPM numbers to continue to drill down in the process. If your overall P

Thanks, Mark. Actually we already have an established mark. We use 500ppm (99.95%) as our acceptable level. Problem is, someone (another manufacturer) told someone else (our pres.) that THEY build to 50ppm. Soooooo, someone else told my boss that

Good morning. What should be the Oxygen content Standard in an Oven? Here in my company, we have an ERSA reflow Oven, and we work with Lead Free solder paste. According to Work Standard documents send by my company corporate, the PPM Oxygen conte

My company just purchased a Vecta (E-vert) wave soldering machine. Bridging has become a serious issue, both on SMT components and thru hole. We are currently seeing about 500 ppm. The products that are being run now were run previously on our old

We have a serious misalignment problem of D-Pak components (Specifically Motorola's part number MJD-3055/MJD-2955)following reflow soldering process. We are using Alpha Metals UP78 solder paste. Our reflow oven is Nitrogen inerted and our oxygen leve

Hello all, we use a reflow oven from Rehm in our SMT production. At the moment we solder under nitrogen atmosphere (approx. 500ppm). Now we want to reduce the nitrogen consumption (costs etc.). What consequences can occur here? Especially on the s
