I hear ya Ray, but I have standard (automatic) solder dispenser that are 700gram modules. Jars have other issues that I have migrated away from... I like your idea of slaving the paste bar code label to the board scanner....

The biggest fear is mixing the solder pastes and bar solder. Had a training program for teaching folks what the alloys are and how to read them. I have locked up the bar solder and use the buddy system to restock the pot. Put up many signs on le

I am curious as to why you need to mix.... We use a 500g cartridge with air gun. Our process is remove the cartridge from the fridge, allow it to warm up to room temperature before inserting into air gun, then apply bead of paste to the stencil. N

Sounds like a part problem. You can SOMETIMES over come this with a hotter profile. We see this a lot with brokered parts. Seems like a lot of people are rejecting parts because a lot of companies haven't perfected their RoHS process, yet produce

Hi Jose, such a process is possible, but you need to confirm that the PCB material has high Tg. In additon, you need to re-look solder paste printing parameters and make required changes in stencil apperture design for optimum solder volume. Just a

I see, maybe changing my peak temp in reflow will help. I'll try do eval again... Actually, once I did have evaluated a longer pre-heat but on my previous eval, I didn't change the peak temp. Maybe reflow can help compensate to my problem in the part
