Patrick, Back in my rich OEM days, i actually DID measure mg/in^2. I bought a scale, which measured in mg, specifically for this. Basically, took a blank PCB, took a "before" weight, sprayed it, and then took an "after" weight. I measured at diffe

I have zero experience with SN100c, but hey, how much different can it be from Sn63Pb37?! We solder large connectors all the time - sometimes these connectors reside on a ground plane area. We've been able to overcome hole fill issues (on 63/37) th

When you teach the "teach boardstop Y" make sure the camera is seeing the leading edge of the board and not too close to the rails. It should calculate the pre-stop position correctly. I assume you have thoroughly checked the sensor. Also check th

Good afternoon, Oops. Quite huge difference I must say. But you should try to tweak your profile anyway. First of all try to enlarge soak time as Mr. RDR has said. What process type do you use? Lead or lead-free? By the way, there are lead-free proc

there are IPC standards, I do not know them all off hand. What are the boards failing for? I have found that sometimes the original design is not optimum for any number of reasons. Some fab shops catch these and correct and may or may not inform yo

I've been away for a bunch of years, chasing a different rainbow - all I got to say to SAmir is "Want some cheese with that whine?" C'mon- this is supposed to be a peer to peer help forum, if I can remember the original intent. Ragging on rookies do
