Hi Chrys, Hate to bring you down, but, wave solder pallets exposed to any kind of flux is subject to "Build up" on the carrier. You still have to clean them, hopefully on a regular basis.If the pallet is being run in a high production envirnment, I w

Dear Micheal, SIR test is used to characterize fluxes by determining the degration of electrical insulation resistance of rigid printed wiring board specimens after exposure to the specified flux. (IPC TM-650 #2.6.3.3 http://www.ipc.org/html/tm2.6.h

Kelvin, Yes, we're referencing the same spec. I performed the test under the Class 2 conditions (except that I used a 100V bias rather than 50V...but my water-washed microBGAs still passed). Regarding the omegameter test: we have this instrument,

I have been put incharge of developing a process to rework a doublesided SMT PCB with DCA/COB (direct chip attach, chip on board ) components. The rework will consist of removing some 603-1206 chips on both sides of PCB, oh yeah its has a polyuretha

| Certain board designs require the unavoidable use of non-plated holes and slots. Presently, this requires a trip back to the drill house to open up the aforementioned holes, to remove the unwanted plating. In situations requiring non-plated holes a
