Hi Milroy, One thing to check is the FR4 Laminate being used - if this is a RoHs build is the correct FR4 being used by your manufacture. What layer count of board are you seeing the delamination on? Does you board shop Vacuum seal the packages wi

if its a RoHs Assembly they should be using an FR4 material designed with higher TD to handle higher Assembly temps. 370HR,IT158, IT180, 4000-29 just to name a few that would be suitable. Standard FR4 material is not designed to handle the higher as

Prasad, It is typical when experimenting with new materials to have to adjust the airpressure on the syringe and the stroke of the PDP piston (screw adjust on top of the PDP pump). You can add mutiple cycles in the comp Db to make larger dots with th

we have never had a problem using no-clean flux as far as far as shorts and testing problems, using high pressure test probes helps overcome this. The problem we have had is if a unit comes back down the line a couple of years later we notice that t

I had a look at the Ekra printer at a local industry show last year. It seems to be a solid machine. Their current customers that I visited were extremely satisfied w/ the machine and with Ekra's technical support (Location = In the USA). The pcb

Maybe I was not clear in my original post. So we have boards that have SMD components on one side and TH components on the opposite side. We want to assemble the boards using our SMT and Wave lines. Now the problem is that if we solder the SMD firs

Dave is correct. Also, you should check the TDS's of the caps and the display before processing to see if they can withstand the process temps, look for a recommended solder profile or info for the manufacturability of the device. On another note,

Thanks for the advice. We have only done one PCB with HMP solder and did not use preheating, but I've been wondering if it would have been helpful since we had some trouble getting the solder to flow. If you have any more specific advice about the te

Okay so you are picking from a Wafer Frame and it is a UV cured tape. Who's die sorting machine are you using? You mention the ejector needles, but have you checked them? What size are the die and how thick are they? Have you checked the UV cure, i

I used Indium WF-9940 at the last place I was at for 5 years. We ran leaded and lead free product in our ERSAflow selective soldering machine with that flux type. It worked good for both applications. The place I am at now we have an Ersaflow selecti
