Okay, I've read about the pros and cons about solder paste dispensing. Now, I have a Camalot 3800 and I want to experiment about dispensing solder paste. I have a needle gauge of 25GA, 23 and 22. My pcb components are; RC 0603-1812, Size B, C and D

You are sure taking you sweet time getting this thing running. You're getting too much beach time. NOZZLE SELECTION Typically, the only rule of thumb that applies to choosing the correct nozzle ID is that it should be one half of the required dot d

Hi, Have a board run, using 63/37 Water Souble (WS) process. during the reflow setup time, we had unsolder issues on a leadless bump chip carrier (BCC) IC level package. To rectify the unsolder rejects, we adjusted the reflow time from 25-55sec into

Expanding on a previous poster's comments ... Vapor Phase Soldering. A solder reflow technology that uses a heated solvent to melt the solder. Buried deep in the recesses of the SMTnet Library is �Terms & Definitions�. We started using vapor phas

Dason, Please be aware that weight gain is only a very crude estimate of the component moisture content. This is only accurate when the moisture is uniformly distributed inside the component (which is actually never). This measurement is usually no

My first reaction would be to run! FAST! Flex -- well, it... flexes... and isn't flat. While you assemble it, While you transport it, While it goes through the oven... SMT Connectors typically need to be held down during reflow. Fiducial types are

I have some interesting problems on my hands that some of you may know the answers to. I am currently wave soldering a through hole connector to a rigidized flexible circuit. This is a compliant pin connector that is supposed to be pressed into a h

Ron, Some places want/need oven calibration and some don't, just need a profile. I've worked for both. If you need oven calibration, an easy, inexpensive way is to parallel thermalcouple wire to your existing thermalcouples. Terminate the ends of

I'm interested in sharing any information on bumping of LAnd Grid Array (i.e. QFN) packages. due to PCB contraints, it's not possible to stencil paste onto sites for QFNs. That lead to a lot of experimentation with bumping of 6 mm QFN packages.In sum
