| | | | | | | | I have always thought it to be a good practice to wash SMA's with water soluble paste (WS609) soon after reflow. Is there a time limit as to how long a board should sit after reflow before washing said board? For instance; processi

I had forgotten that it was you that was on the Sipad adventure. [But then again, who can keep track of yer aliases? ;-)] You just go from one adventure to the next. Expanding On Dave�s Hi-Test Flux Method Theory � PASTE: Yes, contact your favorit

The ramp sets the stage for flux activation, and if ramping in a linear fashion, burning off some of the volatiles, but yet preserving the activators. The ramp is also intended to preheat the SMDs to prevent thermal shock. Most solder paste data sh

Jeremy, I'm gonna make a couple of assumptions by "reading in between the lines" of your email: 1. You're using no-clean paste. 2. This is only happening on the second side. You tell me if I'm wrong about this... First thing, if you're only experienc

This has been a tough one to date. Any ideas will help. Problem definition � random QFP144 part not soldering all leads. Percentage fallout is about 1-5% of boards. Usually leads, one or more, on trailing side to the direction of travel does not wet

| I am having problems processing immersion gold boards. The achieved solder joints appear acceptable a la IPC-A-610, but the resultant joint does not fully cover the land, i.e. you can still see an outline of gold pad. | What is the best way to achi

Hi guys, I really am at a loss to understand this one. It would appear that there may be some reaction between the flux and the resist? Or maybe you have an OSP on the board that is reacting during soldering? As a fast fix, maybe you should try a
