Hello John, There are some coatings for aluminum to eliminate solder drag out. The do not work with all fluxes it is called hardcoat anodized it is black or geen in color. Unless you have faily high volumn the hard coat cost can be as high as titan

As I am certain you have discovered, no clean solder paste has removed most inline cleaners from the production floor and the pallets that were cleaned simultaneously with the PCBs are now accumulating flux residue. Permali, the maker of Durostone

David: How about starting with MCMs? IPC docs are: * 2225 - Sectional Design Standard for Organic Multichip Modules (MCM-L) and MCM-L Assemblies * DD-135 - Qualification Testing for Deposited Organic Interlayer Dielectric Materials for Multichip

For some as yet unkown reason, we have started to have some boards sag and go under the wave. The boards are surface mount top side and conventional components wave soldered. We have checked the wave hight and both the profiles on the wave solder and

Shawn: You're correct most solder preform manufactures don't want to sell preforms without skinning you alive for tooling charges!!! Considering alternatives, can you print or dispense paste? It would be mucho cheaper. We've talked about using pa

Most robust wave soldering machines will cope with lead free alloys. The temperatures in air that we have run has been between 260-265C. In my opinion the dross generation has not been significantly effected. I was doing a workshop for a well known

Tell us more about the location of the bridging [ie, front-to-back, back-to-back, front-to-front, etc]. Thoughts are: * Your annular ring around the hole seems large. You have 0.007", consider 0.003" to be the minimum. Your board fabricator can gi

Two things: 1 Go to IPC and buy "TP-1115 - Selection & Implementation Strategy for A Low-Residue No-Clean Process - Provides direction to electronics manufacturers interested in adopting low residue (LR) assembly technology. It addresses the concern
