You don't TS bond gold wire to nickel [of ENIG] for the same reason that you don't TS bond gold wire to hard gold. [Nickel or maybe cobalt is used to harden soft gold.] Together nickel and gold produce unreliable bonds. Look here: * http://www.smta.

The ideal cooling zone curve should be a mirror image of the reflow zone curve. The more closely this curve mimics the reverse of the reflow curve, the tighter the grain structure of the solder joint will be upon reaching its solid state, yielding a

There are two primary causes of epoxy adhesive bond failure, heat and over exposure to moisture. Ultrasonic cavitation is a only a mechanical "scrubbing" action on a microscopic level. However, if the adhesive bond is week or has small areas of det

This is a snip from an ealier post here on SMTnet. Generally, solder pastes are comprised of: 90% solder powder, 5% flux, 4% solvents, and 1% activators [by weight]. Where: * Solder powder, when reflowed, is a metal bonding agent that mechanically

Sam We install a lot of die in the SMT room using same process as SMT parts.Water soluble solder paste is used for attachment of die to ceramic and boards. Biggest problem i found is the adjustment from installing the die in the bonding area. The t

| Hi | I have been conducting my first reflow profiles. Most of the texts that I have read suggest soldering the thermocouples to a populated pcb. I am finding this very difficult. I have been using a high melting point (Sn5 / Pb95) solder and the
