Hi I have solder paste that suppose to be stored to 0 - 10 degree celsius. However due to broken fridge, we decided to stored on -40 degree celsius freezer. Does the solder paste still good to be use? Please help.

The basic rule of thumb (info current as of 9/2000, from Ceeris and others) is the 10X multiplier for each major process step. Catching a defect and correcting in SMT will cost $0.10 each. (think about $.04 placement cost, stop line time, operator h

i have stored boards in the refrigerator in side a tray (with a lid) for 2 days and still had them reflow with no problems. i don't know if i would go any longer than that. i would not put any qfp's or any other device that is moisture sensative dev

Hi everyone, I work in a development firm, that has a small prototype department. We have recently invested in a small automatic SMD pick&place machine. When mounting over 100 different components, the machine runs out of feedercapacity, and the res
