Many times the board may look the same but incases there could be subtle differences that could cause your process to go out of process limit. With boards that look alike you still need to consider: Solder paste (Is key to the reflow profile) compone

OK all you Gurus here's one for ya. Customer is tinning wires with standard eutectic solder in a solder pot. There is a blue tint to the solder in the pot. After tinning with OA flux, which I will change to NC shortly, he has clear teflon insulation

Are you sure there is any "cleaning" needed? Can you see leftover bits of the teflon remaining? If so, work on it with an Xacto knife. But, most thermocouple wires are VERY hard to solder - as in practically impossible. Many of them have aluminum

We've had the same issue on our Panasonic CM machines with Cree XP type LEDs. Count on tools makes a urethane tip nozzle that we are using which eliminates the sticking, our concern with these is durability. Nozzle supply company makes a steel Teflo

Hi All, Has anyone seen or used equipment that is capable of automating the process of attaching hookup wire directly to a large SMT pad? Soldering, ultrasonic? I'm looking to see if there is a machine that is capable of automatically taking a tef

I am doing some rework to my CCA. I then need to conformal coat the board. I'm using Humiseal 1A33 GEL and my jumper wires are teflon coated. I understand the chemical interaction between the 2 products. My question is "Is this an acceptable prac

A friend in the contract coating business said: "... ask why the wire is [teflon] coated in the first place, as only the solder joints should be coated in this situation as the flexing/bending of the wires will cause the coating to crack and flake of

Chris, You asked if others are having these issues. I know for sure they are. I am not with Count On, but we make nozzles also. Cree has published drawings of the recomended nozzles in their "Soldering and Handling Guides" for several years. We made

Are these blades coated with something like PTFE (teflon)? If so does the coating flake off over time. Incidently I just got a pice quote and they are 4.5X that of our standard MPM nickel plated spring steel, so I wanted to make sure they would last

Dave, We haven't head issues with the material on Pcb's. The issue is now that the coating is coming off the solder builds up on the fingers. Front side brushes keep the front clean, but the back are a issue. The fingers have a "teflone"? type of c
