Gee Dave That's the first time I've ever seen myself listed for a quote! Brian, what your saying is on the whole right, on the surface of it the mask, as long as it's cured properlay shouldn't make a difference but I have to say that I've found so f

New to solder paste jetprinting

Electronics Forum | Tue Oct 06 17:36:20 EDT 2020 | hearsehauler

Have used stencils for low volume paste printing for 18 yrs. New job uses jet printing (MY500). But machine is limited to .33mm dot size. Parts used here have pad sizes that are .25mm or smaller, so paste touches between pads when printed. Thankfully

PBGA vias throwing solder balls

Electronics Forum | Tue Sep 14 14:52:22 EDT 2004 | Carol

During processing, the solder in the vias reflows and forms solder balls. PCBs have solder in random PBGA vias from the board manufacturer.The manufacturer says this is a result of the HASL process and is unavoidable. We use HASL finish, multilayer,

Solder balls on solder side!!

Electronics Forum | Wed Feb 28 03:57:46 EST 2001 | peterbarton

Are you using a water based flux? Are the solder balls mainly around or near non-plated holes or near the edges of the PCB? If so the preheat must be set so the water content of the flux is fully evaporated before the board hits the solder wave. If

Re: Wave solder of TQFPs

Electronics Forum | Wed Jul 19 17:34:25 EDT 2000 | Deon Nungaray

Craig, I'd be really hesitant in pursuing this method for a TQFP. Remember, most SMD's are rated for a maximum rising slope of around 4C/Sec. Immersing a fragile TQFP in a hot wave of molten solder will probably exceed this ramp up rate. Besides thi
