Here's some notes from IPC APEX 2015: * Black underfill is Heraeus. It needs to be preheated to 180-200*C for rework. Above 200*C it changes state and becomes difficult. * Clear underfill is from an unknown Korean supplier. * People from Heraeus w

Hi, my name is Dacian, and i run a mobile phone repair shop in Timisoara, Romania. Lately we decided to do more advance motherboard repair jobs, and a big problem that we have is, cleaning the board after we remove the chips. We repair manly iPhone,

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

Bryan: * Most of our stencils are made from stainless steel that is held by a aluminum frame, attached with epoxy with a fiber glass intermediary between the frame and the stencil. * We use stencils to print either glue [thermoset epoxy] or solder pa

Thanks for the tip. I'm still getting familiar with the machine by reading the manuals as I have time. Was wondering what type of solvent you use to clean the dispensing mechanism parts? Or do you not clean anything and simply dispose of the syring p

We tried both of these suggestions and the 3-1953 is less viscous than the 3-1944 so it will flow better on the board for our conformal coating application. What cleaning solvent is recommended for cleaning off the auger parts, etc.? I haven't been

Great, that is encouraging. I did order a few needle sizes from McMaster to try out when we get the machine setup. What do you recommend for clean up the equipment?

Oh yeah, so we have a auger valve similar to that on one of our other machines that we use for dispensing SMT glue, and solder paste also. We have a conditioner that we flush it with at EOD when in use, then we just let it sit idle with the condition

Glue has different mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties than solder. That's why all these very nice no-lead people are furiously trying to gin-up some wacky solder alloy, rather than using glue. Among the papers in the SMTA Knowledge base

So I had the same question too when I was setting ours up. My lazy (and cheap) solution was: for each program I have a universal path that is used up to the first dispense instruction and after the last one then I covered the surfaces underneath tha
