The latex should not influence your closed-loop filtration - unless of course it falls off during cleaning. The issue would be with water soluble materials. As Dave (hi Dave) said, the clay based version of these will clog/blind/knacker your carbon

Water soluble masks are great in my book. After having used the latex type, I found that the water soluble will save a lot of time. I dont't use a closed loop system, but I do have a filter on my discharge line. I have not experienced any filter c

| Has anyone had any experience or data using vibration during the reflow process. | We introduced a vibration device attached to the fixed rail on a Vitronics reflow oven. The reason was to prevent skewing on large PLCC devices. The process worked v

Silicon contamination in solder joint

Wow, you're very correct. I guess we use silicone to calibrate our machine, as follows: XPS spectral measurements of dimethyl silicone should include O(2s) at 25 eV, Si(2p) at 102 eV, Si(2s) at 153 eV, C(1s) at 285 eV, and O(1s) at 533 eV. The C(1s

Bump printing with solder paste

Electronics Forum | Thu Aug 19 12:01:26 EDT 2004 | erhard

We want to get a process running to print paste with a thicker plastic stencil with some room left underneath for preassembled components. I know DEK offers these stencils but since we are using an MPM printer they don't want to sell to us stencils f

Hi Erhard, Go to http://www.globalstencil.com They are the stencil firm that worked with MPM for developing technology for printing with thick stencils that are milled out on the bottom to account for existing components on the top side of a PC boa
