Yeah, it would be kind of expensive to replace all of your stencils but it's the only real answer. Be sure that all your new and replacement stencils have a home base or home plate shape for the passives. This reduces the paste volume near the cent

| I am using a 18 mil and below water soluble solder paste (89.5-25-80). I have never used this type of paste. The PCB has a fine pitch component of which I cannot prevent bridging. The paste coverage on the pad looks like it is slumping. It is not a

I agree with Chrys, get the spike temp up and wetting is not a problem. However, when the palladium mixes in with the solder the joint will become more brittle. You need to make sure enough solder is printed on the board to minimize the concentrati

Hi Guys, I have a fine pitch QFP that I suspect of having a solderability (wetability) problem. The heel joint is 50%-75% of the lead thickness so it means that I passed the IPC Class 2 recommended criteria on the Heel. The toe has at least 25%-50% s

It will vary by placement machine mfg. and type. I had 4x Fuji CP3 (turret chip-shooter) and 2x Fuji IP2 (split axis general app-fine-pitch)and tracked component shrinkage at 0.05%-0.5% on average. Above 0.5% triggered maint. & process eng. response.

Grant, As a MYDATA user, your comments worry me. You state that the MDYATA's are not stable or reliable? I am currently placing 0201's with the HYDRA head (at appx 15K/hr) with 0.01% fallout/bad placement. I also place a large range of fine p

Thoughts are: * 215-220 temperature at the leads is not real hot for leaded assembly. * It's peculiar for component leads to dewet. Sometimes non-wetting occurs along the edge of the lead where the lead is not plated. * How do the leads of a removed
