Are you absolutely sure the problem is with the humidity? We had a problem with 3528 size leds, damaged by the pick and place nozzle because a 0.2mm mistake in the height measurement. Also, we found that several suppliers are using fake desiccant ba

I have this NiPdAu small QFN packge sizes less than 2x2. I tried to do solderability Dip And Look test and there's always some units no wet on either ground pad and small I/O. Can someone help to explain why is this so difficult to set on this surfac

Hegemon, Thank you for the acknowledgment. Jacki, There are 3 rosin flux categories: R – Pure rosin (no cleaning required) RMA – Rosin mildly activated (can be used without cleaning in non critical applications) RA – Rosin highly activated (due t

When you get in to a 30 spindle lightning head or the dual and single beam 7 spindle flexjets from UIC, there generally really solid machines. The only flakeyness we have is with a GC120 (4 beams in 1 box). and of that most of the issues are purely b

Dendrite growth is not typically associated with a flux reation but rather is a result of mechanical stress. The stress can be from any source including stress induced by other components, environment, plating or even bimetallics. Dendrites are most

Hi Davef, Thanks for your quick reply , just my inputs - we using 99.99 % pure nickel strip for soldeirng & when we do manual soldering this nickle stips its working well but when coming to SMT reflow even after high peak temperature ,its removes ev

What purity? To get 99.999% pure you will need dewers of liquid nitrogen or a two stage system. (and a dewer will last about a month and a half even if you don't use it as it outgasses.) But you can get reasonable purity with a wall mounted single s

| Also the preheating of the board is done to help evaporate any water/alcohol that is in the flux - water is a big problem in No-clean processes. From our experience, a temp range around 200f - no more than 220f is ideal for the bigger boards, but t

With a nickel barrier and 'tin' plating, reconsider your reflow recipe to reduce the leaching of the termination into the solder during reflow. Points are: * In designing a reflow temperature recipe, it is important that the temperature be raised at
