Hey Guys, I'm interested in installing a new drip pan under our Trek Westek Triton IV Aqueous Cleaner. I'm looking for a fabricator in the Greater Boston/North Shore Massachusetts area. We haven't yet decided on stainless or plastic. Any suggestio

Are you doing PIN IN PASTE (intrusive reflow) ? If so, then paste can be dripping through the pcb holes and onto the oven bottom heaters / baffles . Or, if any of the SMT pads have vias in them, paste may drip through them if they are not sealed. Whe

in other words- who gets stuck with the latrine duty? (have seen American Graffiti, where the "effluent" was burned off with diesel fuel, Lord help the person who got stuck downwind!) The thought of having to swab a tube with some sort of cleaner ma

The Biral is supposed to gel up. Thats what keeps it from dripping off. It's kinda like motorcycle chain oil in that regard.

NOTHING! As long as you don't drip sweat on the boards you're trying to set-up and then re-adjust and re-adjust and re-adjust all day long like you get with Grid-Shlock.

A solder drip like that is completely unacceptable. That could easily short two QFP leads. Very poor quality. Your customer is right to be upset. You need to pony up the money for IPC-610, agree with your customer to which level you're working (1

I thought it might be the oven too, except it seems the splatter is too small for drips from the oven, secondly, when I ran a couple of bare boards among the populated boards we saw no splatter or flux contamination. So it seems it comes from the bo

Sounds like over molding would be ideal, but if they don't want to spend for a mold I would look at silicone conformal coatings that can be used in a dip process. Silicones are thicker than other coating materials and multiple drippings may provide t

If it's like ours, it's an AC unit, not a chiller. Easy to hook up with a hose to the printer + power to the unit. You'll need to empty the water from the drip pan from time to time (collects condensation).

I have seen there is flux like stuff dripping off from the exhaust area of the reflow oven onto the board That would be the issue of poor maintenance.
