It's bad practice to remix used solder paste with new solder paste in the jar. Further, some would argue that it's bad practice to reuse solder paste period. If economics force you to reuse solder paste, store it for reuse in an empty jar. When rea

Take a look at the ROI tools supplied my MyData and others and draw inspiration from there. Presumably if you are looking at a higher speed line you are looking at higher throughput than you currently achieve or possibly fewer/shorter shifts? The eco

Acetone is flammable and hazardous to deal with. The fewer fire hazards and nasty fumes the better in my opinion. I would either go with a alcohol based no-clean for economical processesing and boards that can't be washed, or water washable if you ca

What is everyone using for assembled circuit board/finished good storage? I'm looking for ideas. Most of my assemblies will have some sort of wire pigtail soldered to one side of the PCBA, so they won't sit "flat", and I'll have a large enough vari

It's really cool that you have such an idea. In fact, many companies now have changed their traditional thinking. Maybe 20 years ago, people thought that used things were bad. In fact, in the electronics manufacturing industry, the quality of our pro

It is only after the reflow heating process that the peaks may show up, as the solder build up in some vias(due to HASL'ing) might drip down during reflow. I don't think I've ever heard of it being desirable to have a bare copper surface that will ox

Luckily for me, if the part were soldered and on the board prior to any processing, I will still be able to build it. I am currently experimenting with screen printing a high temp paste, hand inserting the part (even Chad hasn't come up with an econ

Steve, I'm using 5 Sn/1.5 Ag/93.5 Pb Solder wire with a melting point of 300 deg. C to connect my thermocouples on smd components for thermal profiling. I'm using a soldering iron with an adjustable temp. to be able to melt my solder wire. Temp is ab
