The biggest fear is mixing the solder pastes and bar solder. Had a training program for teaching folks what the alloys are and how to read them. I have locked up the bar solder and use the buddy system to restock the pot. Put up many signs on le

Quad 4c's would be a great machine for what you are looking for. They are easy to learn for an smt machine and very reliable. Just realize that when you buy a machine that is no longer being improved...you can run into limitations. Those machines are

I used an old camalot 1818 with solder paste dispener system to do 0402 components on LTCC. It worked very well, but there are tricks that you have to learn. Volume and placement of the dots is critical. I am sure the latest dispense equipment have s

Both imm silver and ENIG provide flat surfaces that are better for fine pitch placement and reflow than HASL. We know of nothing that makes BGA locations different than other locations when using ENIG solderability protection. More broadly, the pri
