Pressure printing systems Conventional stencil printing techniques have fundamental limitations as regards paste handling: The volume of paste available for printing is limited, so frequent replenishment is necessary Paste is difficult to c

Hi Mark, Solder paste will not flow on Ni like it appears on HASL. Where you print it is where it will reflow. Has been like that for years. As a CM you should re-engineer / recut your stencil to provide proper solder joints. I seriously doubt i

Jim: Several points: 1 If you�re correct about corrosion of your component leads (which is entirely possible if the leads are steel, as you say), then the AIM 264-5 no-clean may not be aggressive enough to remove the corrosion you are seeing routin

ENig can vary in quality, but I've never seen an ENiG board that's been downright unsolderable. At a CM where I worked, I had to prove a QE wrong. He was flippin' out (*no offense*) about black pad, something commonly seen on ENig boards, so what I

Hi, Yes, we just built a new plant, and used copper again. The stuff we cut out of the old building was copper, and it was fine without any issues. We lay it on an angle so condensation flows to an end, and can be periodically vented, and we take a

Grease filters work well. They're cheap, easy to clean and come in all sizes. Will not reduce your air flow by much either.

We bought air dispenser guns that fit the cartriges. I can't remember where we got them - sorry. We built little aluminum "holsters" for the sides of the machines to put the guns in. The guns are hooked up to air with low pressure regulators. Wor

How do people prepare there solder paste for screen print? We currently remove them from the fridge and mix them in a 500g solder paste tub mixer to mix the flux and paste together we waste to much paste at the moment as we only use the tub for 1

Hello all, Been doing some comparisons on joints made using the soldering iron versus reflowed solder paste (on a QFP package). The difference is quite significant: the joints made by the soldering iron are inconsistent and in many cases not filled
