| We are having some difficulty soldering a 240 pin Altera device. We use Alpha WS-609, a very generic profile for that solder paste, and a 6 mil stencil with laser cut apertures (1:1 ratio). This is a 20 mil pitch device (aperture size is 10 mils X

Frustrated? Where do I start. Our company just lost a contract assembly job we have been providing to Altera Corp for five years. They sent it overseas to China. We had to lay everyone off at our assembly facility. Yeah, you better learn to spea
