I am doing some research on flux free/flux less SMT reflow soldering. Do you have any equipent/process recommendations? Does anybody use it for volume production and what are the constraints (finish, balls, paste, vacuum, pressure, size)? What is

You could try taking a look at the jet printer from MYData. http://www.mydata.com/MYWEB/Corp.nsf/$all/C7BD0068DB97D290C12571E80052A528 I have no idea about price or how well it works but it sounds like an interesting replacement for stencil printing.

The simple answer is probably a lot longer than it'll take for it to short circuit due to moisture of some sort bridging two conductors. I say moisture of some sort because it doesn't necessarily have to be liquid water. A slug will do nicely.

Hi, There was a time not too long ago, when the discussion was about the possibility to post a picture or an image of let say a strange mis-placed part, to be able to fully describe the scenarios. In some cases It would have been grea

Just bought a used VIP 98 and I have an alarm. Computer don't communicate with the embedded controler of the oven. I've check the cabling, OK, and there's power on the controler. The PC is booting normally. The controler is plug in the serial port 2

Thanks for the replies. We have been doing the same thing. There's green everywhere and I'm getting sick of that color. I like Hussman's idea but most of our operators are pretty kinky and they would probably enjoy being beaten with a big stick. Anyb

Michael We know you're just trying to have fun by getting us to respond. Going along with the game, if your solder is more expensive, requires more energy to melt, produces less reliable solder connectiuons, and is worse for the environment; how to

I used to just follow up profile development with a single pass with a MOLE, one thermocouple in air. I'd keep that profile as a baseline, and have the operators run the MOLE through prior to production and compare the results to the baseline. I foun

I agree, I have been doing this for years also. Never found anything that the oven wasn't already telling me. I will however be investing in the KIC 24/7 constant monitoring device soon. Price isn't too bad for what you get. Customers like to get a w

Does it give any more info about the error? Is this in the stage after you've hit run, it says "initializing" and it is counting up on the screen? Usually it gives a little more info, although it can still be cryptic. I have run into it stopping w
