| Netters, | | When I reflow a PCB there is a discoloration of silkscreen and mask. It appears if Profile is too hot! But I dont think so, maybe I'm wrong? | | 1. Kester 293 no clean | 2. 2.1 C/s for 30s to 150 C | 3. .5 - .7 C/s for 60s to 185

Hi Bill! Justin hit the nail on the head with his advice. One other thing I'd add too is that if your volume and such points to using cartridges, I found that sometimes operators can get a little wasteful. I worked for a memory company where we

Hello Netters, I need some info, Earl or Dave, I have a PCB that exhibits a white layer on solder side. It does not appear to be surface residues (IPA has no effect), but looks like its under solder mask. My first guess is that the LPI solder mask

| hi, | i am working towards developing a no-clean process for a customer at contract manufacturing facility. the assemblies have gold fingers on them. these are masked to prevent from any damage to them during reflow soldering. the earlier proces

| *Reply to: ericr@nj.tanon.com | | Without going into a lengthy explaination {at this time}, has anyone experimented, tested, evaluate, and/or 'perfected' an SMT double-side reflow process. Presently I'm using a Kester R593 OA (water soluble) Sn63/

| I am running composite fixtures on my wave solder machine and after about 500 passes each (1 month)they are showing serious signs of wear in that the composite surface is bubbling up and glass fibers are also starting to show. | The problem here

Hey Dave, sounds like your material is delaminating at a rapid rate, I would not recommend using them through your process, delaminating material has to go some where! When composite material is made, layers of fibre glass and epoxy resin are placed

| We currently use an ESP RMA paste. The reason that I initially posted the question was because we are conducting tests to see if this is infact the best paste for our processes. In running tests, however, certain variables, such as humidity, are

| Hi all, | I am new to SMT. In past I've made many PCB boards with my small hands at home, but I've used regular technology drilling the holes for the components. | I am trying to use SMT for my projects. SOP packages I was able to solder using a re
