Ideally the MSL should be recorded on the label on the DRY PACK that you receive the devices in....that's the protocol the device manufacturers / distributors should use to help your goods in and shop floor personnel know which are/are not moisture

Just want to ask. What is the effect of dull gold surface on solderability? When I made a test run with several pieces containing dull gold defect on the pad(of varying levels), I found that components can still stick to the pad with good amount o

very often toes on the QFP packages are exposed to base material and during time they oxidize. That is why you can have problem with solder fillet. Most important is heel fillet. Regarding your misalignment of IC if this is repeatable check your pl

Are there SMT mechanical components like that could be used for orientating PCB-level optics on the board and do not require holes in the board? Their final position would solely depend on the reflow. A height of 1/8" would be sufficient. I was con

We have produced good results on our ACE machines. We keep 2 of them constantly busy, one for regular solder and one for pbFree. Customer service has been good as well. Be sure to use the Nitrogen feature, and invest in a N02 generator for your sele

We are a PCB design house/CM and we have found that if you elongate the QFN pads to the outside of the part by .025 to .030 you then have the opportunity of doing touch-up manually with a soldering iron should there be a voiding issue. This would hav
