| | | Hi, | | | I just cheesed my previous attempt at this. I looked through IPC 600 and couldn't find anything relating to dimensional stability of a board with regard to stretch. I found bow and twist but nothing on size. I have a PCB that is .0

| Netters, | | When I reflow a PCB there is a discoloration of silkscreen and mask. It appears if Profile is too hot! But I dont think so, maybe I'm wrong? | | 1. Kester 293 no clean | 2. 2.1 C/s for 30s to 150 C | 3. .5 - .7 C/s for 60s to 185

| | I am getting ready to purchase a spray fluxing system for a no-clean process. I have narrowed it down to the Nordson or Dover system. Does anyone have any experience with either. If so can you relate with me. I am a little leary of the Nordso

Rob, We are also using intrusive reflow to simultaneously process SMT and Thru-hole components. Our arrangement goes as follows: - Screen print solder paste to the single sided PCB using 0.008" laser cut stencil. - Apply adhesive dots to selected

| | | Has any one seen failures of chip resistors after 1-2 years where the junction between the silver termination and the restive element on the top of the ceramic has corroded through. This results in a high resistance failure after this period of

| | | Your problem may be related to silver migration (leaching) into the solder. I had what seems to be a similar problem. The solution was using solder with 2% silver content. See these pages for a bit more information: | | | | http://www.ferr
