We are going to try clips from Autosplice, the small clips come on tape and reel which are placed by the machine and then reflowed. After reflow we install the shield.

We are working on placing an RF shield. Sometimes we have been dispensing paste (if the board is already populated), othertimes we have been printing the paste pattern (unpopulated board). Now we have a case where the customer is insisting on a pre

It sounds like this part is floating on your solder joint during reflow. You may need to redesign your pad geometry. In general with this type of clip - smaller pads are better. If you cannotcahnge pad size, try changing the openings on your stenc

Does anyone have any experience in using solder scavenging systems? We have very tight land areas for RF shields (nearest component can be 2mm away in some cases). We are aware that both SRT and AIRVAC have such systems. Thanks! BWET

The first time I was faced with this it was on a night shift training M ?????????? and we used a standard hot air rework system with no under board heating. The trick is to keep the air flow low and you can remove the parts. Most people use too highe

Q1) How to identify on good or bad RF shield that could contribute to dewetting? A1) We use Alloy 770 and 752 [German silver] for our RF shields. We have never seen a solderability issue, even aged stock solders well. * Nickel Alloy 752, Nickel Silv

I had a customer like this too. Originally, the customer print called for manual soldering of the RF shield (which took us about 20 min. per shield to hand solder), but I changed it to Solder Reflow (I cut apertures on the stencil), with brass weigh

Hey, I thought you were in the BIG house on some trumped-up tax rap. We use many RF shields each month. Generally, the shields are not plated and made of alloy 770 (or alloy 752), half hard temper, as the base material. * Alloy 770; 55%Cu, 27%Zn,
