Most solder paste has a shelf life of 1 week at room temperature after opened, if resealed at the end of the shift/day. Most shelf lives are 4-6 months at 40F (refridgerated) or 1 month at room temp (unopened/sealed). Recommended stencil life is appr

If we understand correctly, your SMT solder connections remelt when passing through the wave solder machine and your QA-people don't like it when that happens. It's nice not to remelt this solder, but as long as the board meets your acceptance stand

Hi all Recentlt I encounter a issue, the solder paste was not dry after wave. Mostly happen and the end of the board. It is rare case, 1 day happen about twice. But to achieve our quality target, I still need to overcome this issue. I use Alpha OM-

I had a solder paste SAC305 T4, with flux loading of 11.5%. After retrieivng out from fridge(5deg) after 48hrs, the paste turn dry (like dry mud? and after double checking the flux loading it becomes 12.5%. Has anyone ever experience this or any opi

1.Weight the paste 2.reflow the paste 3.clean the residue from the reflow ingot 4.weight the ingot By using simple calculation we can extract the percentage of metal or flux loading from the solder paste.

Using convection type reflow we observed following problem: One ball of a 313-PBGA appears to be dewetting. This happens randomly, i.e. no specific ball location, failure rate is rather low (3-4%), but since there are 12 PBGAs on one board the failu
