Hi Notice they do call out that you should use their thinner. In the MSDS you get a clue as to the thinner they are mostly using with some additives. http://www.kester.com/PDF%20FILES/PDF%20Data%20Sheets/E%20No-Clean%20Fluxes/951%20(30Mar98)logo.p

Hi Rene Great, I am glad to see that you are recommending by experience placement control as affected by the pick operation. Neat to see you are also noting a thinner paste deposition. YiEng, MA/NY DDave

The problem is that there are also SOT23's present. I would use a .004 or a .005 stencil, but I don't think that the dots are going to contact the bottom of the larger packages on a thinner stencil. ...Thanks for the input.

Does anyone out there have any info on track balance ratios. i.e. heavy track entering 1 end of component (0402) and thinner track leaving other end and how this effects/causes problems like tombstoning. Am trying to put together design rules for cus

Maybe trying to get a flatter HASL PCB. But i am unaware of the "entire industry" trying to go thinner. Russ

Gun wash is another term used for acrylic laquer thinner. We use DuPont 3642SC. We have much success in its use.

We are going to be using a no-clean paste (smt)and no clean wave solder flux on a small pcb we will be doing here soon. As far as the wave process, should i purchase a new fluxer stone for the no-clean. Should I also purchse the recommended thinner o

Barry Echoing an earlier poster, replace your stone. Use the suppliers' recommended thinner. Do NOT use isopropanol [IPA]. IPA contains water. Water is the bane of low residue soldering. It will get you in trouble fast. From IPC, get your hand

We agree. Colin Lea showed that HASL less than 2 microns [80 uin] thick has limited shelf life and that shelf life gets worse as the HASL gets thinner. Unless you do not need shelf life, consider sticking with 100 to 500 uin. There is nothing wrong

Electroplated nickel and electroplated gold is the more �traditional� finish for aluminum wire bonding. That surface was an extension of gold thermosonic wire bonding that requires a thick [50 thou min] gold surface. For years fabricators recommend
