Paste In Hole "PIH" or Pin In Paste "PIP" are two different names of the same process. As far as I know this is fairly simple: the reason from the beginning is to avoid an extra process step/steps in the production line. That is to produce through h

What you are most likely dealing with: Insufficient Pure Sn layer ( multiple causes ) Because elevated temperatures accelerate the diffusion process, the thickness of the Pure Sn layer will reduce during every thermal cycle... ( bakeing PCBs, S

My own preference in this arena is towards the forced air convection style preheat, the key being the forced air. Radiant preheat is too slow for some, and IR preheat can have other issues that convection (or radiant) will not. Zephyrtronics has bee
