Printing SPC

Electronics Forum | Thu Sep 05 11:49:24 EDT 2002 | ppwlee

Hello, I like to hear your comments on applying SPC to solder paste printing. Specifically: - What's the most common and effective method of automated moitoring and control, Paste height/volume or printer parameters? - Actual examples in applying

Solder Paste and fine pitch components

Electronics Forum | Wed Sep 18 12:31:16 EDT 2002 | dragonslayr

My suggestion is to conduct a Design For Manufacturing (DFM)study on the assembly in question. Pay particular attention to the pad sizes, component lead dimensions and satisfy yourself that those two factors are correct. Given that pads match compone

Intrusive reflow soldering

I have had a look at what Bob Willis say's and the answer to my problem is not there. The paste we are using has a very high viscosity and I beleive that if we reduce the metal content to less than 90% it will solve the problem. The problem is parti

TOMBSTONE DEFECTS

Electronics Forum | Tue Mar 11 10:13:15 EST 2003 | genny

Some people have said that for smaller components like 0402, a 2% silver paste (62/36/2)has helped reduce the tombstones. The reasoning is that this paste has a longer plastic zone compared to a true eutectic solder, and if there is any uneven heati

Your preheat temp seems excessive, what kind of solder paste do you use. can you try a max preheat temp of 140 degC? The reason for this is to let the solvents in the paste evaporate while keeping the activation of the flux for the very last moment b

IR oven profiling

Hi, I can give you a few steps. 1. The solder paste. Take the profile that manifacturer gives for the paste. 2. Use termocouple to measure the tempereture. Put PCB and measure the temperature in equal terms. 3. Compare your profile to manifacturers

Orrrrrr, you could eliminate the printing, shorting, and special surface finishes by bringing the boards in with the paste already on them. There is a process that is a much more forgiving method for applying paste called solid solder deposit. Check

Another Lead Free question ?

Electronics Forum | Thu Jun 19 10:18:22 EDT 2003 | Dave Milk

Hi Kevin, I hope this info is timely. To qualify a component for lead free use you need to use a lead free paste. The various lead free pastes have very different wetting capabilities and temperatures required to cause them to reflow properly. Yo

Porosity in Good Plating

Electronics Forum | Wed Jul 09 13:48:03 EDT 2003 | russ

Sam, You may want to be careful with your analisys, reducing paste volume also reduces flux volume. Flux is there to promote and aid in wetting. by reducing flux you may have initiated the poor wetting yourself with the experiment. Just anothe

How to clear the non-clean residue out during soldering

Start your recipe development with the recommendations of your paste supplier. The recipe in your new oven should produce identical results to your old oven [assuming you're using the same paste]. Given that your new oven is shorter than your old
