I have had a look at what Bob Willis say's and the answer to my problem is not there. The paste we are using has a very high viscosity and I beleive that if we reduce the metal content to less than 90% it will solve the problem. The problem is parti

Dear Colleagues, I'm am experiencing some problems with nonwetting of primarily 0603 packages. The problem is infrequent but occures just enough for my QA dept. to notice. My reflow profile seems to be correct and the vast majority of parts solder f

We use Envibar UV 1244 to coat our PCBs after wave soldering. We clean them with alcohol, and then we coate them manually with a brush. Then they are passed through a UV Oven. We have adhesion problems, and we started by looking at the Envibar, but

Depends mainly on your paste. Evaporation of alcohol/flux is your main concern. But most name brands last with no problem. What's "some time"? If it's hours, no problem - if it's days possible problems with evaporation -if it's weeks, just buy so

We use (and have for some time) used No-clean on our radio boards with no problems. We also conformally coat with a platinum catalyzed, addition cure silicone coating with occassional problems. These silicones are prone to cure inhibition or retard

Hi Aj, What type of QFP are we talking about? We had in the past big problem with QFP-304 0.5mm pitch from ALTERA. Similar as you describe. Note. No problem with QFP-256 or QFP-196 0.5mm pitch, or anytying less than -304:s Can You be a little bit mo

Hopefully this will help you. I happen to have a few similar problems with PN# MC33982BPNA. I had the stencil made at 6mil thick and had a step-down for 5mil in the problem areas. That seems to take care of the problem we had at the time. ALSO FORGOT

I've been using selective soldering process for about 18 months. The major problem concerns tight spacing- the distance between the SMT pads to be masked and the thru hole leads to be wave soldered should be no less than 0.150 inches. Keep the wall
