Nitrogen for reflow

Electronics Forum | Fri Mar 18 15:46:14 EDT 2011 | remullis

I agree with the comments below. I see no difference with lead free. Across five reflow ovens our external nitrogen tank was about 14' tall and 7' round. I am with a different company now due to the great ole american "lets send product out of the co

Faulty CPU Board - Can it be Repaired

Electronics Forum | Tue Aug 16 17:11:26 EDT 2011 | bobbydur

Ok, thanks to you all for your excellent advice. I'm ready to put this to bed now but just before I do, maybe there is 1 more thing I can try. Can you see RESET printed on the board above the buzzer and below the battery? There are 2 silver points in

ZCR/QUAD Reflow oven problem.

Electronics Forum | Wed Aug 08 14:32:50 EDT 2012 | leemeyer

According to Quad data sheet, the max process temp on a ZCR oven is 310C. I am taking a guess that the "Critical Temperature" message may be Quad's way of saying that you have entered to high of a setting. Try bringing the setpoints to something belo

Hot Air Rework Issue on Nearby Components

Electronics Forum | Wed Mar 30 15:29:37 EST 2005 | Mark

I am not an expert however, I don't see any issues with this. Those joints of nearby components will melt and solidify back once they go below 183 C. Don't see how this could present quality issues as components may pass through reflow several time

Conformal coating mask dots and halos

Electronics Forum | Thu Feb 25 07:37:42 EST 2010 | pcbrown

We are using Humiseal 1B31 and polyester dots for masking. We are spraying this in a Binks sprayer mixed at almost 1:1 with 521 thinner. Whe are seeing the coating creating thin halos around the poly dots as if the dots are "rejecting" the coating. T

Use and Restrictions of solder containing lead

Electronics Forum | Thu Jun 05 16:44:19 EDT 2003 | blnorman

The data we have is from an IBM report. Below 100�C the SAC reliability is almost double that of SnPb (-40 to 100�C thermal cycle). When the upper end temp is increased to 125�C the reliability drops to 75% of SnPb. I'd like to see the data that s

Burn from Soldering Iron or Measling ??

Electronics Forum | Thu May 14 22:45:46 EDT 2009 | davef

You're correct. It's a peculiar looking defect. With measling, we expect to see discrete white spots or crosses just below the surface of the base material. We don't see that here. We do see a similar condition at almost every PTH in the picture, a
