Polymide is like a sponge and absorbs moisture much faster than rigid substrates. Pre-bake your substrate for 2-4 hours at 125C and perform your soldering within 1 shift thereafter or seal in moisture barrier bags.

Hi I am using an old Camalot 1818 to dispense squares of epoxy on a substrate. Does anyone know if it is possible to do an array of squares across the entire substrate rather than individually entering the coordinates of each square? Thanks!

Jose: Those are good guesses. Without knowing more, ask yourself: 1 There is probably adequate heat available, but that portion of the substrate that�s not soldering well is not receiving proper heating. Why is the component getting so hot, relati

Phil, I used to print solder paste on 2" X 2" and 3" X 3" 96% Alumina substrates all the time. I used standard solder printers and stencils. Screens are difficult to use and don't print well. You can use a stencil on a DeHart, CW Price, or AMI Pr

We have 1/2 dozens 0.031 pcbs that bow after going through the oven. We are looking for a solution to this problem to prevent bowing of the pcbs. As a result of the bowing, the pcbs, on occasion get caught in the oven, and more often have transfer

Hi all, Am new to SMT here. I have a very thin laminate substrate which around 120um thickess. Being that thin, warpage is constantly an issue for us. For the solder printing part, we have a number of problems. Being so thin and warped, we need t
