Yes, we use solder paste,solder bar and solder wire from different manufactureres for 1PCB assembly. And, what JAX said, we never mixed solder paste from different manufactures and used.

I have a question regarding mixing different manufacturers solder pastes. We have a board being built by a CM that we are bringing in house and soldering a final cover onto the PCB. The contract manufacturer is using solder paste A. We want to use

Who Cares... Mix Away! Although you should not mix different Solder Pastes' together in a container or on a stencil (Mostly due to the flux, although solder sphere size and shape could cause an issue), mixing solder brands or chemistries on a board

Will the flux residue from solder paste A come into contact with flux from solder paste B? If so you better do some tests. There is always a possibility of a bad reaction between 2 fluxes. You need to test to make sure. Jerry

We recently decided to try using a different source for our bare boards to save money. On two different batches of PCBs now from the new source, we are seeing beading including some serious enough to short out underneath 0805 parts. We have never re

the cause could be moisture in your pcbs. To check it...pass some bare pcbs through your reflow oven (this is a simple way of drying them out a bit), then paste and place and reflow as normal....if solder beads disappear then the pcbs have too much m

TK, Hope you got it right only for this round of assemblies. Well, passing through a Reflow belt is not an ultimate process to dry circuit cards & take out moisture from Solder finished layers. First of all, if the packs were not unsealed (even s

The thermal recipe you use is dependant primarily on the solder paste that you choose.

Snehal, Look at the spec sheet for the paper phenoline PCB. Look at the max temp. If it is at or lower than 183 degrees C, here lies the problem. If it will withstand higher temps at a shorter durration, you can possibly speed up the belt but like D

Hi Davef & C Lampron. Thanks for your reply. since i'm using RMA9086 62/36/2 Cookson no clean flux paste.so what do you think if i will switch on to the paste without no clean flux for PP board is there be any chance that i get a +ve result. Awaiting
