It appears to us that the problem lies in the lead-free solder paste rather than the inductors. We have not found a lead-free solder that does not do this. The green is on the copper wire. We believe it gets there during the reflow. The gasses fr

DO NOT Mix Technologies.... If you are using a no clean solder paste use a no clean wave solder process. I have direct experience with using a no clean paste and a RA water-soluble wave solder process. When cleaning with the water wash system your

Does any one have the best recommendation for a water soluble solder paste for use with fine pitch parts and micro BGA's and immersion gold pads.

We have some humidity issues due to monsoon season in southern Arizona, I am having issues with water soluble solder paste, and moisture sensative IC's. We are trying to maintain a 32% relative humidity for EESD purposes. What is the standard, and w

Ron, Kester also makes another water soluble paste (#R598) that works great on these parts! Down side is the tack life is a little shorter

A customer of mine is having problem. They can't control their humidity. It is very dry. RH averages 28-30%. The water soluble solder paste prints great. But dries out on metal squeegee. Any suggestions.

Aj is right, utilize the homeplate aperture, this reduces the amount of paste actually underneath the component, Pb frees exhibit this mid ship more often than the lead, I think,it is mostly because of thre transition to noclean form water solubles

Russ, Thanks.By the way, i already look into the reflow profile & paste storage & thowing requirement. Even i cut down the stencil life to 4 hr to avoid any moisture absorbtion. If i were to change the paste formulation, what would you propose ? But

"Thanks for all your informative replies. I do know that Motorola is using a No Clean Eutectic Solder for their BGA's. We are in Aerospace and is using a Water Soluble Paste Flux." This statement is confusing me (not to difficult at my time of life)

I have a problem with some particle, dust and solder paste contaminate on PCB rack and need to clean up once a week by manual. Now looking for the equipment to do Inline cleaning with water jet & Hot air Dry concept. Not too big machine and concept l
