Hi all! Heres wishing everyone a Happy & Prosperous 2008!! We are a small OEM/CM that use Ni tabs in our design/applications. We have a request to use Stainless steel to reduce/eliminate the Ni content. Can Stainless steel be soldered? If yes, is ou

If your wedding ring ever gets hot enough to melt solder, I sure hope your finger isn't in it at the time! On the original question, most stainless alloys have quite a bit of Nickel in them, so going to stainless will not ELIMINATE nickel, although

Davef, thnx for your reply. Sorry, forgot to clarify "our normal soldering process". We use standard Sn/Pb & SAC305 for our non RoHS & RoHS requirements. We only have a "No Clean" process, no aqueous flux is used. Hence our flux will be mild. As susp

The formula is a great help, where was it 20 years ago? LOL After running a few thousand different products over the years, you start to get a feel for what is going to be trouble with regards to falling off the bottomside during the secondary refl

Kenny, Out of curisoty why do you need to paste the vias.Is it due to contact reliability at test.Can these vias not be soldered during wave process (if any).Can the Style of probe used in the ICT test fixture not be changed to accomodate these unsol

Mantis: Kenny reflows paste on [wave solders] all via, not just the test via, to plug the via and provide for a pressure seal between the board and the test fixture. Beyond that, since solder is softer than copper [and fills the hole better], solde

depends if your water wash process is manual or automation? important is the water residue inside the via holes is adequately blown out. As long as the water-flux residue is out, testing down the line should not be a issue, at least from theory and o
