We have not yet sent this out for analysis, So, I don't really know what it is. initial evaluation would lead me to believe that it is flux since it is only present on the solder joints themselves and nowhere else. I noticed that you also mentioned

MadReindeer If this white residue is salt, * Why do you say is the presence of it 'not dangerous it only looking bad'? Don't salts sometimes go into solution with moisture on the board from humidity in the air and form cathodic plating shorts betw

I have a Quad QSP-2 for 5 years and I have had no problems with it. We run it 16 hours per day 6 days a week. Software is good. Service is excellent Quadcare is expensive. The only drawback that I see is tapefeeder repeatability. Seems that the p

I'm a former Q/M/Tyco field guy, what was so bad? I know the guys in tech support, and as far as I'm concerned they are all top notch guys when it comes to troubleshooting and finding problems with their equipment. Not only that, but the Quad machi

Hi mate, checked with one of our egg-brains in the factory (freakin' workaholic still around at this time of night), he tells me that Ag-based PCB finishings share rather similar reflow temperatures for normal Sn/Pb applications. this means (if he i
