I must ask the silly question- are you sure you deposited the correct amount of paste? Depending on aperature design-the voiding could come from a stencil that has its holes partially built up with old paste. If paste volume is guaranteed, then what

Solder paste flux is main contributor, Lead termination chemical-oxide by products and PCB Plating-Chemicals. Reflow profile would have very limited if not no impact really unless is way off. Paste volume control and Stencil design plays a big part

Bright ideas??? Bright ideas!!! I got bright ideas. In order of decreasing luminosity: * Stop installing the socket, solder the PLCC to the board, dip the board. The socket is a waste of time and money. You never replace the PLCC in the field, a

Conveyors allow for progressive indexing and buffer zones within an SMT line. Not only do they allow technicians improved access to machines for troubleshooting or technical support (which they are VERY Thankful for), but they allow (As many people
