Re: Gold contamination in solder joints?

That "C - it doesn�t matter" choice sounds good because it doesn�t give you a headache when profiling but it gives me a headache when I read the article in the current "newsletter" about profiling where I found this: "If soldering to gold over nick

We have had a similar problem here and looked to using a bar code reader system available from our pick and place machine manufacturer (Siemens) the big downside of this was that we needed to maintain a barcode database for all our components to ensu

We use the Slimkic for our oven porfiles and run a very high product mix too. My first question is do you use the same progam for all your boards or do you run different temptures profiles for each module? How are the gold boards getting destroyed? W

The human machine is one of the most sophisticated know on this planet, "capable" of doing/thinking more than one task/thought at the same time. Sometimes the priorities get mixed up. So, if you have no simple computer or other gadgetry that�s able t

I think it is very nice to have the feature of getting informed when someone answers to a question I put on the smt.net. But (and that's a big but): If you send out an email why can't you just include all the informations you want to send in the emai

There are a number of different things to ask youreself here. What type of flux are you using. 330, 351, 310 etc. Do you have a hot air knife? As for the residue, that's gonna show on almost any wave soldered pcb. We have fought the issue for a long

There are two primary causes of epoxy adhesive bond failure, heat and over exposure to moisture. Ultrasonic cavitation is a only a mechanical "scrubbing" action on a microscopic level. However, if the adhesive bond is week or has small areas of det

Let me see if I've got this straight...rather than hook up a MOLE or a KIC profiler to each and every board (600 P/N's in my case), most people are making judgement calls based solely on how similar a board looks to another board, for which they have

HI all, thanks for the advise.. Electrovert is being used from 7am to 7pm and we do dedross from the surface of the solder bath during lunch time around 12nn. Break Time we just sweep them to the side.. Every two week, we do the solder bath maintena

I have seen this problem several times on several different IP3's... When the MTU is about to pick a part from the tray, the machine will just stop. No error, just says, "producting", in green. E-stop, reset and start again, and you hear air from
