4.4 Determine the amount of flux on the board. 4.4.1 Get a piece of corrugated cardboard and a weighing scale accurate to 0.01 grams. NOTE: Use cardboard with alcohol fluxes to slow their evaporation and get good data. 4.4.2 Weigh the cardboard. 4.4

I have been trying to rework a lead-free BGA. For some reason, when I remove the BGA the corner pads on the board come off and the board must be scrapped. If I do manage to remove the BGA successfully, when I solder the BGA, the corners of the BGA

Hello Sirs: Recently we are having an issue with environmental stress (high humidity or moisture), so we decide to apply conformal coating on our motherboard to protect via holes. According to IPC-A-610D, spec of thickness for type AR is 0.03~0.13 m

Oh, sure, on fine-pitch parts you need a microscope or at least a good magnifier. But, OK, you have some kind of contamination. Solder is one thing, but where are these stainless, aluminum and copper particles coming from? Stainless makes me think

Dear all, we are using the lead-free SN100C solder alloy for wave soldering. We are experiencing wetting problems each time we have to solder a thick board or a board with a large ground plane.I think that maybe we are not using the right flux. I w

You might want to check the Xwagon bearings. We had the same issue with the TP9-UFP we ordered all the possible parts Xmotors small large, encoder, transducer, couplings etc. over 10K worth of parts. The only thing we didnt order was the actual x-wag

Our preference has been ENIG. We find that we achieve higher quality (visually) soldering for through hole and surface mount parts, with less handling issues than when we use white-tin, or immersion tin. We are about to do a test on some boards tha

When you teach the "teach boardstop Y" make sure the camera is seeing the leading edge of the board and not too close to the rails. It should calculate the pre-stop position correctly. I assume you have thoroughly checked the sensor. Also check th

I have a new contract with boards that have straight edges and are good for v-score breakout panel design. However, many of the traces are very close to the edge of the board so I am concerned that the traces could be damaged when we run them throug

Good morning Steve, What does optimizer say? What is the error generated by optimizer? Could you tell me exact error optimizer gives? Topaz ties to fit all feeders mechanically into the feeder plate when optimization starts. Optimizer generates an
