Using Glue on Stencils What aperatures to use?

Electronics Forum | Mon Sep 19 08:36:53 EDT 2005 | lloyd

I had a similar problem a few years ago when glue printing. Our production environment wasn't to clean room standards and there was a bit of air born contamination floating around which would gather on the PCB surface (also our rough board edges wou

Gentlemen, Please consider that ionic testing is designed only for detecting ionic contaminants. Yes there are instances of non-ionic contaminants that cause premature circuit failure. However, more importantly the prevailing specs are less than adeq

Wirebond issues near SM

Hi. We are doing Au bonding on Al bond pad not Au plated. If pull strength is less than 2.0g, i think that the ball or stich may be lifted from bond pad. And the value become lower after several reflow. I expect that the surface of bond pad may be c

ROSE testing for no-clean flux soldering assemblies

Electronics Forum | Mon Aug 19 11:36:27 EDT 2019 | bulur

How does no-clean flux residues on a PCB assembly impact the ROSE testing? Does no-clean flux residues on the PCBA dissolve in solution of ROSE tester and increase ionic contaminants level in terms of NaCl per surface area? Is ROSE tester solution (a

IRC/TTE MELF resistor failures

The program I'm working on is having endcap metallization/resistive element failures. These are on MELFs manufactured by IRC/TTE (MCHP). A sister program is having the same issues. They pulled a couple of date codes and did visual examination and

well we can't paste the flip chip on its substrate because we are using flux...because this bare die yet...and the surface of the die flipped might be contaminated...also after chip attach and reflow the die is to be underfilled and if the die is pas

Comparative Tracking Index (CTI)

Comparative Tracking Index [CTI]. In printed circuit board fabrication, CTI is a measure of the ability of the laminate surface to withstand tracking [carbonneous tracks on the surface, under wet contaminated conditions] across two electrodes placed

Black color solder wetting after reflow

Below is the long explanation. This defect is most commonly found with BGA components, but can arrise with all components. I see it happening more now with lead free boards that are being assembled with a no clean flux. Best short term remedy is t
