Just my opinion but it look's like your doing a great job. i would try another paste. I'm somewhat lucky that we get to use OA's. If your stuck using the no-cleans they are so tempermental. (The nitrogen is making up for the poor paste) Your de-wetti

I have just measured my new test board and the dimensions are 0.025� square, 0.015� seperation with resist aperture 0.004� larger. Don�t know when I will be using it yet. I have not seen a head to head with these pastes yet, I know that Panasonic ar

Hello to all. for certain time, we have been struggling with some issues on a PCB where have tombstoning on 0402 components (due to pad design) and dewetting in qfp256 0.5 mil pitch (discussed on another threads on this forum) component, we have pro

Have you tried higher peaktemp? I saw the QFP is sn90pb10, This has a liquidus of 268 - 302 C. A good paste should be able to handle 230C (or more), of course you would need to check your other components peak temp.

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

Dback, Most likely shouldn't have color inspection on. Using red light colors will look the same so you gain nothing by using this. What exactly are you getting as false calls? Sounds like you have lots of things going on in this type of inspect

I agree you are too cold for the profile get it up to 230C and possibly allow it to dwell a little longer in preheat as opposed to pushing up the reflow zone only. Sn90/Pb10 melts at 220C so 2C hotter than your profile so you are reliant on it alloyi

For most applications, a nice square [or rectangle] pad works just fine. Assemblers ship boat loads of boards with these every day. It's reasonable for tight decoupling capacitor requirement applications to use round or radiused pads for components

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%

Hi, I need some urgent informations on stencil design guidelines on how to perform epoxy printing on 0603 and 0402 components. Could anyone help? ( Reflow process is not possible because of some other constriants) Secondly, I need also facing a lo
