Just a thought. What is the real shelf life of the past? Do manufactures low ball the self life to sell more paste. If the past is perfectly good one day before the expiration date is it still bad one day after I doubt it. Right or wrong I have seen

Pressure printing systems Conventional stencil printing techniques have fundamental limitations as regards paste handling: The volume of paste available for printing is limited, so frequent replenishment is necessary Paste is difficult to c

While the only way this thread could look more like a stealth advert is if it has the word 'advertisement' blinking at us, I'll play along. Questions are: * Have you asked the supplier Fantron Technologies [sales@fantron.com] what they suggest? * Wh

Would like opinions on which brand of leaded water soluble solder has the longest print life. we're currently using Alpha WS-809. Each board goes through the printer every 15 minutes or so, and we wind up re-printing most boards as the solder isn't

Imm silver holds-up to multiple thermal cycles very well. The things, we guess, are happening to make imm silver tough to solder after heating and sitting are: * Oxidation of the silver. * Reduction of the co-deposited organic anti-tarnish [used in

1. To protect the nickel and copper under gold plating from oxidization before soldering. Gold plating can extend the PCB self-life and improve the solderability for 2nd re-flow. 2. Provide a good bonding strength. For Chip on Board process that Gol

Our new PCB supplier can give us a 20% price reduction if we convert from an ENIG finish to a FLASH gold finish. My uderstanding between the two is as follows: ENIG - Nickel is plated over copper and then immersed in Gold which forms a self limited f

I don't understand "well we can't paste the flip chip on its substrate because we are using flux". There is flux in paste. What's the difference? If you use solder paste, there will be more room for underfill, as compared to flux only. Some peopl
