| While inspecting incoming PCBs we detected around all plated-through-holes (only there and all in the same place) some halfmoonshaped light rings that match obviously only with the pink ring symptom shown in the IPC-A-600 chapter 2.5.2.. That would

| | I recently switched from solder paste in 500 gram jars to 500 gram tubes. I did this to try to limit the time the paste is exposed to the room environment. But we have a need to clean the stencil every 4 - 5 boards which means taking the bulk pas

| Has anyone had issues where bottomside double reflowed smt has fallen off in the wave when using voc-free flux? I have verified the hotter profile was not the issue by using an alcohol based flux with no problems.This voc-free flux is also not caus

| | I have always thought it to be a good practice to wash SMA's with water soluble paste (WS609) soon after reflow. Is there a time limit as to how long a board should sit after reflow before washing said board? For instance; processing a double-

| Does someone has experience with solder stop on components to avoid an Viking effect (no solder on the pad, all solder on the lead)? What kind of solder stop does work well? What is dangerous? What has to be kept in mind when using such components?
