We currently bake plastic SMT parts in accordance with the IPC guidelines for moisture sensitive parts. Because we have double-sided boards that are subjected to either an aqueous or semi-aqueous cleaning process, we do a 24 hour bake at 125 deg. C

Mohammed, The first suggested place to start with your question would probably be with your flux Mfr. Push them! The quantity of dross is effected by several factors: The higher your solder pot temp., the higher your dross level... but don't go too

While separating individual pcbs from a panel, operators have caused delamination of the edge of the board, at the tabs that were cut. How can these boards be repaired? The delamination causes them to fail J-STD-001C 9.2.1.1.d. Also, what would yo

Thanks for the insight. Most boards we are seeing problems with are 1.60mm thick (some less) and most of them are panelized. For your support pins what do you use to show operators where the pins should be setup? I have heard of using Plexiglas to m

Many years ago... my old engineer used a very simple unit bought at Radio Shack. It was a device that they use in door ways to announce someone was entering the store. It used a beam of light and when the board broke that beam, a bell/ring/noise wou

A ballast is the device needed to energize fluorescent lamps during operation. In all fluorescent lighting systems, the ballast provides the proper voltage to start the lamp and then regulates the electric current flowing through the lamp to stabiliz

| We are changing over to a No-Clean paste soon and l was wondering how other people tackle the issue of stencil and PCB cleaning in high-volume production. | | The paste we are using is Cobar 325RX and its pretty sticky stuff let me tell you! | |
