We have a Heller 1707EXL that we use for lead and lead-free production. It has both a mesh belt and edge rails. We run 90% of our assemblies on the mesh belt (leaving the edge rails wide open). I have noticed when profiling a board on the mesh bel

Hi, it is a not given clear here. I will tell you some basics about the profiling: 1. Profile stages A. Preheat - the board preheats from room temp to 130-150C depending on the paste B. Soak - 150-170(or other range depending on the paste). here th

The ISL12020 real time clock comes in a 20 lead DFN, and includes a 32kHz crystal in the package. The terminals of the crystal and oscillator come out to external pads and are highly susceptible to leakage to the neighboring power supply pins. With

The critical operations where cross contamination can occur is the paste printer, the touch up station and the hand soldering station. Hand insertion should not be a problem if the parts are kitted or issued with proper control. If possible I would

Doesn't really look like no-clean to me...typically, no-clean encapsulates the solder joint after reflow, trapping any organics. This looks like plain-old water soluble flux, that cooked a bit too much in reflow. As you noted, it cleaned up with

Hey all, We recently purchased a second hand EBSO SPA-400 selective. Other than the normal pain of a used machine, everything seems to run OK. We ran some preliminary tests, with really bad results. There were tons of shorts and icicles. The only noz
