Chet, We've found the exact opposite. Boards we process in VP are cleaner than convection. Sorry but I cannot provide any meaningful data to back that up though. We conduct SIR testing internally using our high impedance pcba's.

Hi Larry, thanks for quick response. Do you have such observation for No clean paste process also? regards chet

Hi, Yes, I think this sounds like a form of tomb-stoning, and we used vapor phase until it ended up driving us totally nuts trying to deal with tomb-stoning. We tried everything, and all kinds of stencil apertures. Vapor phase is an amazing process

Expanding on a previous poster's comments ... Vapor Phase Soldering. A solder reflow technology that uses a heated solvent to melt the solder. Buried deep in the recesses of the SMTnet Library is �Terms & Definitions�. We started using vapor phas

Hello, I have a customer who recentely installed a vapor phase soldering system. Everything goes pretty well, but from time to time the customer has the same problem with the soldering: one of the components on PCB (usually, it's a QFP package) is ro

nifhail, In a nutshell: Vapor-phase reflow is a process that uses a fluid with a selected boiling point. As condensation of the hot vapor occurs on a cool assembly the assembly's temperature is rapidly raised to match the temperature of the vapor.

reduce the stencil aperture to prevent tombstoning in vapor phase process. from my experience a 6 mil thick must be at least between 20 to 30 % aperture reduction for 0805's and below. cheers!

Vapor soldering has some advantages for heavy boards, especially in energy transfer to the board and solder. The soldering temperature is fixed by the boiling point of the liquid used, and will not exceed that temperature, another advantage. The tr

Don't know that mfg. and model but theres lots of info on vapor phase soldering in the fine SMTnet archieves.

Hello All, Does anyone have any experience with soldering to vapor deposited metallizations such as gold? Or, does anyone know of any papers discussing soldering to vapor deposited metals? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Glenn
