All, I have a reoccurring issue with the Alpha-Metals WS601, water-soluble paste in that the size 20 nozzle of the auger-type dispenser on my Camalot Gemini II clogs up rather frequently. Every few hours we are having to go in and clear out the nozz

guys Using a well estrablished water soluble solder paste, but having problems with tack time. Data sheet recommend a couple of hours but we are seeing problems after about 15 minutes with 0402/0603 componenets bouncing off. The printer environment

The variance of useability of any of the pastes with a difference of 5% in your overall environment will probably not even be measurable in the difference of the paste be it RMA, Water Soluble, or No Clean. What is the printer you are using and is i

Dave, "Paladium Pillows and Bad Dreams"....that's a good one! I've been doing this for the last 9 years and I've heard quite a bit, but that's really cute! Seriously, in reference to the 'pillow effect' when the lead looks like it is "sitting" on to

Hi there all, we are having problems with 2 qfp devices. grainy poorly reflowed solder joints. One 100 pin .5mm pitch, and one 64 pin .5 mm pitch . Both of these devices have a thermo pad on the back of them (pad area soldered to back of device)which

Several years ago, we had almost same pbm, best results have been obtained by using water soluble paste (those time the old AM1208). Any way, to get a good toe meniscus is not so easy. Talking about CTE, keep in consideration the internal die of TSO

| At this moment in time we are using water soluble solder paste on our PCBs these are cleaned using water only, agitated with ultrasonics. After drying a white/grey residue is left around solder joints. Reflow profile is fine and a reliable wash pro

Dave, The first step would be to learn to accept the residue. IPC class 2 has no problem with it. If that is not possible, I am not sure why a no clean is necessary- but I will take your work for it. Alcohols will dry out the residue, and turn it

My customer is finding a blue haze on some SMT pads after processing, kind of looks like a water spot on the surface of solder joints. It requires 20x mag and very good lighting to see. We have done 2 different ionic tests and the boards pass to clas
