The original issue was Co. does not need to go Pbfree, but some BGA's they use are only available Pbfree. They don't want to throw away Pb BGA stock, so some boards might have a combination of both Pb and Pbfree BGAs. The question basically was Shou

Are the components 100% tin plated? Thats what we are buying and we have no problem at all soldering with the same profiles we always have used and we use the same alloy as you but different mfg. We have not had problems soldering tin plated parts wi

In order from best, better, good * Lowest purchase price: cartridge, jar, syringe * Ease of inventory control: cartridge, jar, syringe * Flexibility of use: jar, syringe, cartridge * Ability to dispense by hand or machine: syringe * Cost to get paste

If you are experiencing flux migration, try refrigerating your paste when not in use. This causes the flux viscosity to go up. I have seen flux seperate from the solder is when it is VERY old and out of date.Sometimes warmer ambient temperatures wi

Billy, I have to disagree with you. We inadvertently soldered a Pb BGA with SAC305 paste and then had it micro sectioned and spectrum analyzed. Imagine our surprise when we saw the spectrum analysis showed Pb. The micro sections showed none to ac

Hi, We have been soldering lead free BGA's onto products with lead based paste, and we have had no increase in defects at all. We have used a standard lead paste profile, so we are not altering the temps anything from what's recommended by the paste

Hi, Jar's quality is easier to measure. If you want to know paste viscosity etc. it's easier if you use jar. I have bad experiences about cartridges. I used cartridges for a short time but I change it back to jar because flux separated too easily in

Syringes seem to keep the paste fresher longer since there is less exposure to air than a jar. It is also nice to be able to just squeeze the trigger on a gun instead of using a spatula in my opinion. Russ

Hey all! As background, I recently purchased a full SMT line for my company. We have a DEK 265, an assembleon opal xii, and a Heller 1500. Currently our jobs are leaded, and the heller is working perfectly. An upcoming job that we are potentially g
