N2 is a reflow process widener so to speak, for leaded reflow less of a impact, for LF more impact, and if using finer LF solder pastes T4,T5 and smaller paste deposits generally, it helps widen window for flux in paste in oxide protection during soa

So how does this (lead free paste Sn42/Bi58) solder compare with the Sn-Ag-Cu (Tin-Silver-Copper) combination which does not flow as well (in the oven), needs higher oven temperature, (that can be adjusted by reducing the oven chain speed) and cost m

I have....they lay down copper strips every 10 feet or so , attached to house ground, then glue down the carpet. The glue is filled with carbon filaments, as is the carpet itself.

The first impression I get is that the mask was applied over dirty or contaminated copper. What is the trace and land finish on the PCB? You also appear to have a wetting problem.

It is Solder Mask on Bare copper, The land finish is HASL as per MIL-PRF-55110G which accepts trace of HASL as acceptable. Wetting is acceptable. regards, R.Saravanan

Welcome!!! Where the hay ya been??? Sorry bud, were lining-up with your fab [it hurts me to say that, but when yer ] We used to dry pack with desiccants, also. Its probably an old MIL-STD-2073-1C requirement [er something like that]. We qui

Is your customer trying to reduce voiding? If the device is using Sn90 / Pb10 and the paste is Sn63/Pb37 the board will melt first. However, if both solders are 183C eutectic, it's a tossup? PCB design, copper weight, bga type (pbga, micro bga, Tbg

Take a look at this. Remember, these are only guidlines and can not replace any paste specs. As Real Chunks said, a profiler will be of HUGE help. We use this to determine what our top side temps are and to see if we have any problems with heat sen

I been a bunch o' places...! Some good, some bad, re-inventing the wheel in many cases. Our specs are pretty specific in a lot of cases, but that doesn't mean they always get followed. It usually becomes a case of "It's not quite right, but we rea
