Alpha-numeric suck! Just kidding. We had a guy that was in charge of our waves who said the same thing. Never two sure what he meant by that. I've been runnning wave solder for 12 years and them Gels seem to get rid of the broken parts at wave. N

We design a broad range of DC/DC power supplies for various telecom, internet, and computor applications and have been succesfully using intrusive reflow for ~7 years now. Our pcbs range from 0.065 to 0.090 in thickness and are moslty dense 4 to 8 la

Just have everyone where a smock. Seems to do little for ESD but everyone buys into it. Finger cots will add more flare as well. Wet concrete works the best for flooring, but seems to have a tendency to dry, thus losing it conductivity. Therefore

Hi All, The change over to lead-free is as easy or as difficult as you want to make it The big problem I see with this lead-free transition is that there is no benchmark of acceptability and no defect data (yet) related to visual appearance of a sol

There is learning on all brands requiring fine tuning the test parameters. The first point is not to allow defects to escape. Many brands can do a good job with preventing escapes. The struggle with all the brands becomes false calls. The companies r

I still have half of a 500 g jar of this paste left. I'm going to give it another shot, but my first experience was not so wonderful. Everything was great until we reflowed it. Our profile matched AIM's recommendation, as far as I can see. The ch

Interesting read, I guess they finally figured it out (with 32 days left) 2 quotes from the articles "What is surprising however � although it should not be � is that, despite the claims of health and environmental threats, the latter based on the r

Rob and Pete are both right. "We" had the same problem, with just one manufacturer of the same style QFP (don't want to name names here). We had the same style of QFP from a different manufacture right next to the problematic one on about 3 product

I might be wrong since I don't know this piece of equipment but I think ROL might be a better measure. For 63/37 it used to be 20 ppm ROL (residual oxygen level) was about what you needed for a reflow oven. This is to take full advantage of all tha
