Hi below is a link to a database set up that list the properties of all SAC alloys, worth reading. http://www.europeanleadfree.net/POOLED/DOCUMENTS/a178886/ELFNET_COST531_Solder_Alloy_Properties_Database_v1.pdf its from http://www.europeanleadfree.

This question cannot really be answered definitively here. There are unknowns such as your board design and solder land finish. I suggest you conduct a DoE (Design of Experiments) to determine paste print deposition X-Y-Theta tolerance for your appli

Michelle, Our experience with no-clean solder pastes has been that water washing a mis-print is a bad idea. We've found that DI water does not do a sufficient job removing the no-clean paste (the same goes for stencils). Instead, we have washed no

Steve, We are touching up 6 - 12% of all solder joints processed. We consider the solder joint to be the focal point of the SMT process. Therefore our metric is based on it. For example in a given month we... 1. Assembled 25pcs of 'A' (IPC-A-610/J

We have to perform a wire modification on a PCB. I am looking for a wire where the insulationmaterial does not shrink or melt when soldered.

We've had a customer request that we check the PPM level of oxygen at our wave solder's inerters. I'm looking on the web, and there seems to be a huge variety of these instruments. Can anyone make a recommendation on one that is working for you? T

Recently we have noticed a purple-blue colour film on the surface of the molten solder. It can be cleared when de-drossing the pot. The pot will normally go a yellow/gold colour before it turns purple-blue. Is this most likely an oxide of the tin or

What is the best way to clean a bad print on a board of no-clean paste? We have tried a few different ways but always seem to get left over solder balls

CSP is similar to BGA process in that you need to undergo a reflow process to properly solder the chip. Also, a soak period is desirable to promote outgassing. You do not need nitrogen. We are building CSPs in a regular convection oven without n

Hello All, I read AIMs article "Time Above Liquidus". It was very informative and a good read. One thing that the article didn't touch on, that is a mystery to me, is thermal shock to components during the ramp up stage of a profile. If you
