First, reflow does not reset the clock for MSL exposure. The best solution is to run the second side before the exposure time expires. I am curious to know why they must sit for 40 hours. If that cannot be done, then store the assemblies in a dry c

We are enclosing our SMT room and will control the Humidity and Temperature of the room. Is there a standard for humidity and temperature for a SMT room and if so what is it. What is protocol if it goes out of tolerance? Do we stop production? Is

Soldering Bath - When we need to tin high-power contacts or a lot of wires, for example, in making harnesses, a regular soldering iron is either impossible to use due to the high thermal capacitance requirement, or takes way too long to perform the t

Hi I thought I would come back to this one for a second. Joe Fox above gave a nice concise note as to why you must raise the temp high enough above the soldering melting temp (liquidus) yet not too high. You want to go high enough for paste so tha

Double check the data sheets for your paste. Just as an example, ou Indium paste has a recommendation for the Heating, Liquidus, and Cooling stagees of reflow. They recommend a linear ramp up of 0.5 to 1.0 degree C. In the Liquidus stage, a peak t

Hi Stevo, Most paste suppliers say something like, �above 183*C for 45 to 60 seconds.� The problem we have with statements like that is that they seem to assume that the pads, component leads, and solder paste are all near eutectic 60/40 solder. A

Hi, I don;t thing there is an overtemperrature sensor. Just the thermocpouple returns a higher temp(voltage) to the controller and your software goes to alarm, cooldown or what ever it does. Emil

Sounds like your preheat temperature controllers are out of adjustment. Check your operating manual for instructions.

Has anyone possibly moved the location of your thermocouples? if not check the calibration of your temp controllers/ thermocouples. Russ
