I have had cases when it was necessary to run epoxy and paste at the same time. The only good reason I know of to even think about messing with going to this trouble is if the surface tension of the solder melting pulls the part out of alignment. T

Ok lets put it this way. If the PCB house used a high quality mask and properly applied it to a properly cleaned surface and properly cured it, then as Dave stated above there are only two things that can destroy it. Excessive heat and overly aggress

Answers: The component does take solder, no problem We get a full barrel fill with an empty PCB but only on one of the holes, the other hole has so much copper around it. The flux reached the top of the PCB when I tested the empty PCB. The IPC-A-610

| Dear all, | | What are your views on reworking BGA's? I mean, with the BGA going through reflow temperatures four times or more, and with a manual reballing process, wouldn't it raise up a few reliability issues? Would you consider not doing rew

Hello Everyone. We are setting up our first SMT line and are looking for recommendations on printers and reflow ovens. Currently most of our manufacturing is outsourced and we want the ability to manufacture all of our products in-house. One impor

Nice to have you back on SMTnet. Some of the newer folk have missed-out on the solid contributions you�ve made to the Forum. The chicken wire cleaning basket was a classic!!! [It�s a shame that the folk at SMTnet can�t recover those files.] We bu

I have attached a pdf version of an article that explains the basics of a nitrogen atmosphere when soldering. It gives some basic guidlines as to when one may want to use nitrogen and what it can and can not accomplish. FYI- I did not write that ar

If people use an inert gas, they use nitrogen for mass soldering. Inert gases get progressively more expensive as you move down the periodic table. Many times no-clean flux is less active than other flux types. So, people use an inert gas to lower

First, we agree with Loco that your QFP is nonwetting, rather than dewetting. Your sceen-shots look like ol' timey SnPb paste recipes. Turn-up the heaterometer dial. Second, on nitrogen: * We kinda think your O2 needs to be around 100ppm with 99.99%
