Keep in mind you'll still need to preheat the assembly to properly activate the flux/drive off volatiles in the paste. Perhaps a convection toaster oven... Add some cooling coils and a freeboard/tube to the top of your pasta cooker or turkey fryer t

Hi VChauhan, I'll preface this by saying I am no DaveF. Voiding can occur when the flux in the paste boils and vapourises, the expanding vapour needing somewhere to go displaces the paste. So... what we have done in the past: 1) Step the stencil d

Hi! I recently remarked on a thread that so-called VOC-free fluxes weren't. As a result, I got three private e-mails asking what I meant. As this seems to be unclear, I'm starting a new thread with my explanation, rather than sending out the answers

Hi Evtimov, Thanks for your response. Yes, the vapour phase is suppose to handle big and heavy boards, at least thats the intention. Well our thin board is like around 3mm which is not really thin. In our application the thicker the boards means more

Dear Adam, Yes, today certain companies are still using this cleaning technic to clean assembled PCB's. To be able to give you the right advise, I need to know what kind of fluxes are you using into your soldering processes and what level of cleanlin

Hi, I read an article that says "Flux selection usually depends on the following factors": a) Solderability of pcb base metal or coating b) Corrosivity of vapours and residues c) electrical resistivity of residues d) Ease of removal of residues e)

Are you using a water based flux? Are the solder balls mainly around or near non-plated holes or near the edges of the PCB? If so the preheat must be set so the water content of the flux is fully evaporated before the board hits the solder wave. If

Hi Everyone What lubricants do your maintenance people use for the chains in your Reflow ovens? The manuals for our ovens have one recommendation - but I am always open to other people�s experiences and recommendations. Another option may be easie
