I have an inbteresting problem on my N2 wave soldering lines. We have two N2 wave soldering line. Line A is old one and Line B is new. We found solder balling Phenomenon on PCB After soldering in the new N2 Atmosphere Wave Soldering Machine. In the c

We use dry boxes manufactured by DMS Clean Room Products in Lawrence, MA. The phone number on the tag is (508)683-2325, but I think their area code changed to either 978 or 781 recently. We flow dry nitrogen through the box in order to ensure that

hi all. I am looking for a oven which can cure the conformal coating providing heat and the humid atmosphere. I am looking for a temperature range of 60 deg C to 80 deg C and a humidity range of around 80%. Can anybody refer to me the right vendors

Currently I am in the buisness of soldering bare die to the top surface of a copper heat sink. Is any one else have some exprience in this process that can help. We heat a copper slug through a contolled atmosphere, place a preform then a bare die.

I haven't worked with Protecto but I have seen very good results using a no-clean flux and a nitrogen atmosphere in the reflow oven. | Entek or Protecto? | I've hear Kester's Protecto is a very good OSP that may be more assembly process-friendly th

For reflow soldering, you are correct ! The higher surface tension of the solder paste in nitrogen atmosphere can increase the number of solder bridges if the component or solder paste print is inaccurate. Another defect that might increase is tomb

If you can solder in an inert atmosphere you'll find the problem will disappear, even blowing N2 over the surface while soldering will solve the problem. 10�C over peak is not excessive, I've run up to 350�C in some cases, protected by N2 the flux wi

Because BGA's are so hard to rework, you'll want the maximum process window for your reflow equipment, and this includes an inert atmosphere. But as long as solderability and temperature profile are well controlled you can have perfect results with a

Been there, ... done that,...got the T-shirt. When with a major IC manufacturer, we tried this. IT DIDN'T WORK! The problem was that most convection ovens leak. We could not achieve a significant N2 atmosphere.Eventually went to vacuum-assisted bak
