Hi Dan, Did the manufacturer specify the temp at which to store your paste? You could be 20 degrees apart from each other. Plus, room temperture to you may be 74 degrees F, while to a hard nose owner who doesn't like heating his building, it could

Kerry, Why don't you purchase a decent stencil cleaning system that will not leave behind dry solder paste rather than purchasing a machine to tell you how dirty your stencils are? For less than the cost of a stencil inspection station, one can pur

first try to get rid of the problem instead of cleaning. Try Almit V16L for finepitch (good experience!) no, I do not work for that company... assuming that the rest of your process is perfect and you do not use old paste, do not use the same paste o

Thank you for your annotaions. I am aware of the limits and temperatures of that material, but we are doing some research with thermoplastic base materials which won't survive standard solder paste reflow soldering. And beside of using conductive ad

We've had several instances of parts (1206R, SOT-23) popping off of their location during reflow. Parts placement is OK, paste brick is aligned and compact before oven. But we get random parts off their location just lying somewhere else on the boar

Can I use one common cleaning agent to clean the stencils from a lines which are using RMA, No-clean and clean paste ( b'cos we onlyhv one stencil cleaner ). What about those misprinted board ? Can all of them use the same chemical or cleaned in the

Responding to your questions ... RELIABILITY OF 1% SILVER SOLDER PASTE: It�s as good as the next solder paste, all other things the same. Look at your back articles by Jennie Hang in SMT magazine. I want to say she wrote an article on the topic i

There are several implications: - some lead free alloys do not form an acceptable solder joint when used with lead contaning paste. (ie. Bismuth) - if you use both lead free and lead containing components, you will have different solder joint compos

Hi, That is very common in WS pastes.It is white residue (Salt) Usually it�s not dangerous it only looking bad. I think best way would be contact your paste supplier and they should know what would take a stain off if not, change supplier. There i

Being in the backplane biz, we too, encounter similar problems...especially when our customer reads the IPC as Biblical (you will achieve 75% fill or be turned into a pillar of salt). Anyway, recently, one of our process engineers suggested paste-hol
