Here's what we hear you saying: * Trying to repair a printed circuit board assembly * There's a problem replacing a 57 pin, 20 thou connector * Can't get enough solder paste on the connector leads * Printing paste, replacing the connector, then reflo

Wondering how you guys do this. Scenario: You have to rework a part (small IC or resistor) on a board that has already been conformal coated with acrylic. What do you do with the post soldering residues before you cover it up with fresh coating?

We are using SN100C in both our wave and selective machines and have very good results. We also using it for ROHS hand soldering. It flows better than SAC305, the joints are shinny just like Sn63/37. We are looking into using SN100C as our paste b

Regarding nano coatings : Nano coatings are susceptible to wear during the printing process and cleaning processes. As they wear they flake off and can potentially contaminate your solder. There is not a lot of independent data available on this so k

We us a lot of 1B31 it could be one of the most common coatings out there. We do not clean the boards and do not have an issue. I would check the solder mask compatibly. I would also see how the 3rd party company is testing the boards what criteria o

Thank very much for the feedback. I was asked why mixing the paste was not a good idea. Could you provide the answer please? It's always better to hear from an outside expert:) The SOT23 - some of them have actually flipped upside down ; plus we hav

Hi Before I say anything I ll qualify who I am. I work for a AOI/SPI manuafacturer Automatic printer is your best option for small runs. Print process is responsible for a vast number of solder defects and improving here is your best start. Have a

I would suggest that the pad size vs lead length vs lead pitch are helping cause issue if rest of PCB is ok From DFM , yes reducing lead length - experiement or reducing pad diameter could help. Also flux can still be issue, try fluxing part prior

Hello there, I just want to ask you how often do you take your profiles on the Reflow Oven and Wave solder? I have a HMLV line running 5-6 products per shift (Reflow Oven & WS) my tech spend too much time checking the profile, but no major difference
