Dougs, Make sure they use the same solder that you plan to use. In my case they were unable to get acceptable solder joints with our solder. We use no-clean P1 flux in our cored solder. So I recommend you try before you buy. Jerry

Some no-cleans will pool flux on the top of the solder joint which acts like an insulator. I normally do not paste "contact" pads. You can have your board house HASL them if you need the extra bump on the pad.

Not intending to undercut Mike's offer, but to compliment it. Consider asking Heraeus for guidance about cleaning the residues from reflowing your paste. Some NC flux res: * Cannot be cleaned. * Can be cleaned after a relatively short period of tim

Albert: Several points: � Bi should have no effect on your no-clean. The flux you select with your Pb/Sn/Bi wire solder could be an area for concern tho. � Bi will form an alloy with Pb with a melting point of 93�C. � Look at "Process Change - Rya

I was just told by a visitor (PCB Experts) at our company that RFID PCBs should not be built using a no clean solder flux process due to possible reliability issues. This really got my boss going and asked me to look into this. This is the first time

Hi Everyone, Could someone please tell me - What happens if a N-type connector having chromate coating over silver plating is hand soldering to a PCB. Does the Chromate coating form a compound with silver, Or does it come off while cleaning excess

We bought the lead free pots for the Ersa machine and change back and forth. We had a lot of problems running SAC305 in the Ersa. It seems to create a ton of dross and you need to frequently clean and flux the nozzles. I would really like some feed

appears to be incomplete reflow on a couple of balls or they were moved during a cooldown. it also seems as though there is a deviation in ball size due to inconsistant paste application possibly. I would stop applying paste and just reflow that pa

Kevin: What was the thinking behind your using a flux that required cleaning �on a post wash assemble for a power switch�? How do you keep the remaining corrosive flux residues from causing trouble [ie, corrosion, CAF, etc]?

We are purchasing an ultrasonic cleaner to clean pcb asseblies that have been produced with water soluble flux based solder. After cleaning a batch of assemblies, the water in the cleaner will need to be disposed of. My question is: Do we need to
