Hello everyone, I have a question regarding wavesoldering and measuring if a proces/machine is in control. I made a custom carrier for measuring contact time, parallelism, solder temperature, coveyorspeed and some data of the preheat section. The s

There are several big competitors out in the field. Since a few years 3D AOI is getting more and more populair. The reliability is much higher compared to comparing grey scales (pixels) with one another. Measuring the height, length and width of a co

I have not done pin in paste in production quantites, but speculation is always a blast so; OA fluxes are active at room temperature, they grow 'fur' with humidity if not washed off, great stuff for soldering, nasty stuff for reliability (if not rem

My company is looking for higher density for card layout. One suggestion has been locating active components packaged in SOT's and SOIC's on the B-side of the card. This in turn will require wave soldering of the above mentioned components. When I di

| I have been involved in SMT for only a few months so I am coming from a position of extreame ignorance. I have been asked to investigate the differences in soldering to components with Paladium coated leads vs the standard Tin_lead. I would appre

No. It was CK who brought up AC at his home and erroneously said that having your AC on a lower setting used less power than having it turned off when you are not there. I'm saying with AC at home turn it off when you are not there and have it come

You're creating a new alloy on the surface of your board. The alloy will have a melting point determined by the constituent metals of the alloy. Your alloy consists of: * Lead-free HASL solderability protection on the board * Lead-free solder paste *

If you think the problem is occurring in the box and it is wide spread, consider replacing your solder paste with your paste supplier. There are paste formulations aimed at the solder balling issue that some LF pastes create. On tuning your reflow r

| I'm having a problem getting good reflow on gold sufaced boards. The profile looks good and I have adjusted it both hotter and colder and adjusted the various times ( soak, reflow ) to no avail. What realy gets me Is that a month ago we built some
