We are facing the problem of dry soldering in chip capacitor 0603. When we told the Vender then he just told that we are using solder paste with 62/36/2 combination & the components are lead free so there is prob. of dry soldering. While we are usin

With Jars you tend to mix used paste back in with new paste and there is also a lot of air in the jar. If you are high mix try using cartridges and putting the used paste in little ziplock baggies. You can rip the baggies open including tearing the s

It should be the other way around. A Pb BGA ball will fully melt in a Pb free process, but a Pb free BGA ball will not fully melt in a Pb process, which means the Pb from the paste on the board will not fully diffuse through the ball. This leads to

Hi, What's the difference between soldering a lead free solder ball BGA onto a footprint with lead solder paste when the ball does not collapse, compared to a lead-less package. The BGA is bigger, but you rely on the solder paste only, seems to work

Hi, I am having a SAC 305 solder paste with water soluble flux wetting issue. during reflow, the solder melts, but doesnt flow. the reflow profile was developed by the solder company person (Kester). the board is a test assembly to validate our LF pr

Dude, make sure you're not getting too hot, too quick. If the BGA "dogears" in the oven, or during a rework procedure, it'll either short, or get very strained, depending on which way the part moves, up or down. Also, bake the hell out of them, as if

If you mention mis-alignment and missing component in the same sentance, I suspect the component is not properly released after placement. Assuming the Juki machines use an air blow, after vacuum shut off, than I would look at a correct air flow firs

So, I'm workin' my damn fax machine; unfortunately, it's one of the 1st generation fax machines, because in Riyadh, we get stuck with the old equipment, and then it gives a message on the LCD display: Paper Jam..so I get mad, and yell: WHY DOES IT

i would assume when the PCB planner and customer would specify what "surface layer type"they want but this section is always empty but i have found that out yesterday that we only use ENIG and not FLASH GOLD, which is good to know........ but it see
