So what is your company? P. KAY is not aware of you or of this situation and we would like to discuss it. The only way that you could have what you claim is if the maintenance were not done and if spent MS2 were left on the solder pot for days. Like

Do not believe every thing your suppliers tell you, even a written cert does not guaranty compliance. We recently purchased a Niton XRF analyzer. The first day in use we found component�s that were made for us "RoHS" that were far from compliant. Peo

Hi Ken, Good question, and I did search for what you are asking, but unable to find anything conclusive about using tacky flux vs. solder. In reliability, it depends on which section of the process you are talking about. Mainly (and there are sev

I tried MS2 for almost two weeks and I can see it works. MS2 is more a preventive tool rather than a solution to convert pour on top of the dross. Very important if you use this stuff is that you do the encapsulation of the wave, the bigger the surfa

Yes, doing the DoEs on your wave to achieve optimum settings that deliver the best results on your worst board is correct method. If not clear on the process, there are still wave solder process classes out there you can attend or hire in-house. If y

Bingo! In my career, I've used Wave Solder optimizer and the WaveRIDER. Pro's and Con's to both. I did a GR&R on both as well, and WaveRIDER came out on top. The main challenge is to get the operators to use it. I've found that the operators wer

Well, you don't want your paste to spoil! It'll give it a bad aftertaste. Actually, we refrig our paste mainly cause our stock room gets rather on the toasty side. Jars left un-friged will cause the metals to sink and leave a puddle of flux on top

Hello, I am automating a process on our floor from wire solder hand application to dispensed paste and reflow. The process involves "lidding" a shielding lid around our assemblies for microwave quieting. The result is non-hermetic. For cosmet

Put this one out a little early! I just looked at the data in the Kic site and also at the other place, it is interesting how the results are different except for the high temp solder which we should have all expected. Now for my question Do we re

Hi, I take it you are refering to intrusive reflow? It came around as more components became available in surface mount packages leaving mainly connectors left over for a separate insertion operation & wave/selective/hand solder. Manufacturers imp
