If there is no specific quality reason, stay with paste. More processes you add, more points of failure. They don't need a lot of paste to get attached to the board. The ones I used were 8mil round apertures, so I did cut 1:1 on a 3 mil coated stenci

Solder flux and solder paste deposition is a standard step during the chip attach and sphere attach portions of BGA and CSP assembly. A technique called ultra-violet fluorescence intensity mapping (UV FIM) has been introduced that allows flux measure

Joshua, 100um is 4mil aperture. You should ask several stencil houses about the possibility to print that small amount of paste(type 6 paste is available now with very small solder spheres 5-15um diameter). Even applying small amount(thin layer of f

Ok, that's small - I think you may need a special semi-conductor printer for this - positional accuracy on a "normal" SMT printer is no more than 20 micrometres from memory. In my semiconductror fab days we were printing with a positional accuracy

Hi Hannu, Just out of interest, are these big, heavy transformers, where the weight of lead in the solder will be less than 0.2% of the overall weight of the dipped part?

Hannu, First and for all I have a problem with your question "tried and trusted" for the simple reason that you are going to change too lead-free. Ultrasonic soldering or welding is not new, as far as I know it is only used applying the ultrasonic

OK, granted, this is not exactly your hi-tech SMD production but pertains to lead-free so I'll post this anyway: Can anybody share their experiences on lead-free dip soldering of transformer terminals? I have not done any testing myself but have see

What exactly what "Ghastly" about it?

I do not mean big, heavy transformers but rather small ferrite core transformers, with ferrites in the range of EF16 .. EF40. The weight of the lead and its percentage of the total weight is not the issue here. We simply do not want lead-containing t

Hi Hannu, You just gave a very realistic and practical view of the lead-free dilemma. The main reason that your coil coating doesn't get removed is because of the inability of lead free alloys to wet the surface and conduct the heat. Higher temperat
