I'm new in this industry and need a little direction. I have a wide verity of SM parts on a board, top and bottom. The larger components have a very nice reflow, good shine. The 0402/0201's has a dull almost cold solder look. The boards function and

Looks like (so far) we have a concensus. Follow the paste manufacturers guidelines on storage. Normally, refrigeration is required to achieve max shelf life between 3 and 6 months in original closed container. Water-wash pastes are much more active t

50cents/gallon for N2 is steep, plus that is Liquid not gas??? As for conceptronics stating that your oven will consume 2100scfh is another situation. If your system operates on Air Amplifier technology it will consume alot of N2 and should be scrapp

I have been involved with the reflow process for many years. However, my most recent position now includes the use of Nitrogen. In studying the reflow process and using Nitrogen, it seems to me that it would only make sense to be measuring the O2 lev

| Hi, | | Recently encountered missing components problem at the SMT process. | Among 13 chip components from the same part number mounted on the board, only 4 ( located in a same row and next to each other) were missing after post reflow. Checked t

We are getting what looks like cold solder joints on one of our boards. The boards have an aluminum substrate, and use OSP plating. The solder is lead free - 96.5 Sn, 3.0 Ag, .5 Cu. The flux is no clean. When we first had the problem, my solder profi
