Ooooo, you do have the toys, baybeee!!!! This really is not a good situation. * Leaving this OA flux res on your boards will surely affect the LT performance of your product. * That a rookie found this by noticing solder balls all over the seconda

Is the designer's concern that the parts will fall off when hanging upside down during reflow? We've been doing this for decades and our test if we think a part is marginal is to glue a 2nd (and sometimes 3rd) part to the back and send it through re

Hi, all, I have done an analysis through Statistics on solder volume whose purpose is to identify the required volume for different pitch printing (0.65 or above, 0.50, and 0.40 mm). Finally, came out a regression model. But, I need to evalua

When doing PIH processes, it is critical that you control the solder VOLUME, not the height. You must define the process, monitor it and control chart it to keep the paste volume consistent. You have do some careful engineering to determine how muc

I am working on a Substrate attach process. The package is gold plated, the preform is AuSn and the backing on the substrate is PdAg. I am using a Sikama reflow furnace. The profile has a 50 sec dwell time. I am over 280 degees C for a little over 1

Q1- Will we be able to select the materials (flux and alloy) and run the process depending only on ourselves, distributors� help, machinery documentation, web data and �trial and error?� A1- Your materials suppliers [eg Kester, Alpha Metals, etc] wil

Hi ChrisX, DPMO = number of defects per million opportunities. PPM (parts per million) is exactly the same, although the terminology is less clear about what it means. SPC(statistical process control) is a methodology based on statistical technique

hi Stephen, Thank for your comment! Yes! My people also share the same view that customer is asking something which is in more theoretical side. They want us to collect a lot of statistical data to prove our process. Anyway, customer is not only

Hi mates, anyone done SMT process for micro-lead frame (flip-chip)before? Appreciate any process control caution points from the experienced guys (yonder the deep blue seas) who have done this product before. 1) pcb thickness 2) pitch-to-pitch (co

Ralph Woodgate is the 'god of wave soldering process control.' We believe he is now retired, but in olden times his presentations at SMTA meetings were 'DO NOT MISS.' We imagine you can find his books on the used book market. Look here: http://use
