Fighting solder beads

Pavel Point: You suspect that solder paste can easily get to solder mask causing beading, because the aperture is larger than the component pad. Comment: Probably, this is incorrect. We overprint on solder mask all day long when doing paste-in-hol

Rheometric Pump - Yes or No???

Hi Erik, looks like there's not much appetite for this debate on this forum. Possibly because not many use them and aren't in a position to confirm or deny what we know. We use our pumps 6 days a week, 24hrs a day so it's a very dynamic proc

Good morning, Once again a met annoying solder beading issue while producing board with PLL (leadless, contacts from the bottom side of the package). Board has very high placement density and beads appear near PLL package only. This package is finep

Oop's Pb BGA's in a RoHS process?

Electronics Forum | Tue Jun 20 10:15:44 EDT 2006 | samir

Again, the verdict is mixed here as well, but from the seminars, white papers, etc. the consensus seems to be that Pb BGA's are not compatible in a Pb-Free RoHS Process...but... Pb-Free SAC BGA's are compatible in a Sn-Pb process as long as your pro

Selective solder flux blocking nozzle.

Electronics Forum | Fri Oct 10 05:04:26 EDT 2008 | bing007

We are using Mulicore MF101 flux and a Vitronics selective soldering machine on a lead-fee assembly and are having trouble with nozzles blocking even when the nozzle aperture is increased. Has anyone come across this problem before using fluxes with

Dear Scott, You are correct in questioning the chemistry portion of the process. However, I am couriuous as to why you selected DEK as a stencil cleaner. The most important part of any cleaning process is always the chemistry. How you deliver the c

In a nutshell, you should be looking for a chemistry first, then look for a machine. Hopefully, they will be from the same source. | Dear Scott, | You are correct in questioning the chemistry portion of the process. However, I am couriuous as to w

Kantesh, Does this particular part have a heat sink across the bottom side of the component and does your pad size and stencil aperture match the component? I have just had a very similar problem with a DPAK. What we found was that the recomended pad

Spray cleaners are poor alternatives to todays ultrasonic stencil cleaners. Ultrasonics are the way to go and you can use rather benign water based chemistries to get the job done. As for screening adhesives and cleaning glue residue with spray wands

Re: Solder Paste Dispenser

Hello Ryan! There's a company called Camalot that sells dispensers that in my opinion, make one of the better dispensers on the market. They use what's called a rotary-positive displacement pump when dispensing... much more precise and accurate
