We are placing a gold plated device (LCC) to a NiAu PCB using a SnPb No-clean solder. We're noticing quite a bit of difficulty with reliable joints (intermittent connectivity) and if we have to rework a particular device, adjacent devices of this sa

See "IPC-4554 Specification for Immersion Tin Plating for Printed Circuit Boards" 3.2.1 Immersion Tin Thickness. The most common reason for solderability issues with the white tin surface coating during multiple thermal excursions is a thin white ti

It sounds as if this Sn100c HASL process is still in its infancy requiring further process development and characterization..weather its a better more active flux or a different profile... Given your situation of the Sn100c coating actually "repellin

We are using the Universal tooling..the one with the side plates. I'm not sure what the C-tool is. The machine did not come with much. I'm running the vision system test now..I've never done it before..but I'll let you know what happens with it. To

Thanks for the posts guys, I'd like to mention a few things... In my opinion, the tooling does not get any better than this. The board is fairly small and quite stiff. There is no board warping. The tooling plates are tight and the vacuum really h

Open the rear door that has the cooling fans on it. Look at the wiper blade regulator, look toward the front of the machine about 8" or so and to then left 3"or 4". There should be a lexan cover/box over the board that has this pot. on it. If stil

I found this pot, and tried adjusting it. It was already turned to its maximum, and the histogram did not look good. I tried replacing the board lamp and this helped the histogram a lot, but I am not able to get the bars centered in the green. The

What type of hardware are you looking for? Nuts and bolts? Custom machined/stamped parts? In general, stainless steel is usually considered RoHS, but more expensive. However, medical equipment usually uses things like stainless steel. However, som

We're not real clear on the issue. [Got ourselves wrapped around lead (Pb) versus lead (termination), we think.] That aside, comments are: * Boiling point of lead [Pb] is [/K]: 2022 [or 1749 �C (3180 �F)] * It's possible that the material that com
