This build up is likely related to the defoamer. Defoamers are typically based on waxes and/or high molecular weight Hydrocarbons. As defoamers only need to work on the exposed fluid surface, not a lot of defoamer is needed (unless you are using

| We currently use HASL on all of our boards and I would like to move to something else. I have sampled some boards with Entek OSP and I loved it, the problem is we have plated mounting holes on just about every board we make. Does anyone have info

We do not have experience soldering to the PVD surface you plan to use. We use Titanium [Ti] stiffeners in wave soldering and our wave equipment manufacturer uses Ti fingers, nozzles, pump blades, and other parts, because solder doesn�t stick to Ti.

Recently we have noticed a purple-blue colour film on the surface of the molten solder. It can be cleared when de-drossing the pot. The pot will normally go a yellow/gold colour before it turns purple-blue. Is this most likely an oxide of the tin or

From the poor bonding strength of the board, the surface quality problems of the board are divided into: 1. The cleanliness of the board surface; 2. The problem of micro graphite (or surface energy) on the surface. PCB circuit board proofing Youke bo

Hi davef, In response to your questions: 1) It is a programmable washer designed for the tough demands of industrial applications. There is an integrated forced air dryer with both coarse and HEPA filters. 2) The surface of the PCB panel, the comp

Hello Everyone, Our board supplier changed our board surface finish on a prototype to flat solderable tin (FST) because of the PWB thickness (.125"). The pads seem to be contaminated, particularly on second side pass through reflow. The solder appea

Hi All, Let me summarize the key facts and findings: 1) This is not a permanent problem. Only one production batch was affected. The cleaning solution was exchanged and now the cleaning process runs normally. 2) Probably the residues are not ion
