Hi guys as an alternative I would check put the Nousstar leadfree wave this machine is being well recieved in Europe

Well, another alternative is to use a water washable flux. If you insist on staying with a NC flux, use one that is probable. We prefer to probe solder, rather than copper.

Transparent Laminate

Electronics Forum | Mon Nov 08 12:06:40 EST 2004 | davef

We are aware of no transparent laminates. Most are roughly translucent, with a milky white color. Some laminated are quite thin and could serve your purpose. As an alternative, could you etch foil [that's readily available] and the attach the etch

Yep, just finished a 30 day eval. Way cool stuff. Spendy though. The Gel did not solve all scenarios encountered. But, is a fantastic alternative to rigid tooling. I have many Grid Lok systems. There are pro's and cons to both systems. Overall,

Thermo couple attachment

Aluminium tape adheres quite well and is not intrusive. I believe it's mentioned in KIC's articles as a good alternative to high-temp solder.

Dross produced, are we in or out?

OK.You are right. I don't think he is going to answer me anyway. It's just that the "we" thing disturbs me for some reason. I just want to make sure that he is not talking about an alternate personality,pet rock, or invisible friend or something lik

Poor reflow over gold plating

Electronics Forum | Tue Jun 28 19:56:59 EDT 2005 | davef

Matt: Yes, if the gold was really thick, it could appear like your pictures. In measuring gold plating thickness, we'd want to use xray fluorescence [XRF]. For alternatives, look here: http://www.pfonline.com/articles/pfd0027.html

conformal coating

Electronics Forum | Thu Jul 07 06:48:15 EDT 2005 | davef

Alternatives are: * DSCC Columbus continues to maintain the QPL for MIL-I-46058C. [Engineering is unlikely to change.] * Use International Electrotechnical Commission Standard, IEC 61086 - Coatings for loaded printed wire boards (conformal coatings)

ESD question

Electronics Forum | Thu Dec 22 09:36:14 EST 2005 | rsmith

Diane, you are "right on". The key to eliminating ESD problems is to make sure that the operator, the work surface, and the ESDS device are at the same electrical potential. Also you must elimanate any static producers from the ESDS area or provide a

Lead-Free qualification process

Electronics Forum | Tue Aug 23 05:39:28 EDT 2005 | javi

Rob, Thanks for your feedback, the engineering and purchaser is working to get alternative component. But seems like we have start manufacture few prototype without the lead-free due to the LLT. Do you have experience with this production regards to
