| Hi there Gary, | Your solder ball problem is very similar the problem I experienced, but I was using a water soluble paste at the time. It started by inspectors telling me that they were seeing cold solder on some SIMM's that we had built regularly

First, SIR data is heavily dependant on the test pattern selected. Be very careful when comparing the results of resistance readings taken from different geometric patterns. Second, if yer talkin': * Bare boards, yupper. * Finished assemblies impor

Murray "No-clean" fluxes/pastes should not normally give "white residues". Before exploring cleaning, which is costly for small production levels, I suggest you may care to find out why you have these residues. To help you, can you please answer th

Talk about bucking the trend!!! OK, OK, I know some US military work still requires RMA. You�re both correct. Cleaning decisions for RMA fluxed boards are based on customers requirements. [Some do (clean) and some don�t.] Older US military speci

We have an ongoing problem with our QFP144 packages soldering. It has not received much attention until late due to some customer failures. Most of the failures would show up in ESS testing and be repaired. The failure rate is about 2 in 1000 parts f

Dave Frankly, I think you may be barking up the wrong tree. Like DaveF, I suggest that the process would be horrendously expensive with masking and so on. The $64,000 question is whether what you propose will serve any useful purpose. I venture to

Steve What do you mean by better? More/less activity? fewer retouches? longer shelf life at ambient temperature? less hygroscopicity? longer open time on the stencil? easier to wash? easier to treat waste water? easier for washing machine maintenanc
