Dave: Thanks for you Earl-Moonesqe explanations. To answer your 3 questions below: * If there�s no flux in the via, why does the sodder flow? I thought it was the flux that removed corrosion to increase wetting that allowed

OEM Boy, This is an excellent question. Since I am on the "I-want-to-sell-you-equipment-side" I do not have the hands-on experience that you do but, I do have a many engineers back at our factory who have dedicated their lives to these issues.

Hello, I have a board that has been giving us problems for some time now. It is fairly well populated, mostly with IC's and SOT's on the topside. There is a Zilinx QFP160. This component does not reflow well. All of the other components look OK. A t

Most of our boards are fabricated with solder mask over bare copper [SMOBC], but we have couple where the solder isn't removed before masking. And ever so offin they's a liddy bit mo' solder than we'd like, which when reflowed, ends-up connecting so

Bowing to jokesters with comments about cake, in-laws that drink all their beer, musician friends, and whatnot; I'll push forward. What do yall do to manage the life and contamination level in the sponges that hand soldering operators use to clean t

GT 8 years ago every board saw "touchup". Touch was done to fix boards to conform to A-610. Now A-610 allows less than complete hole fill. Our operators were totally freaking nuts about touching boards. They touched each others touch and on and o

Hey, hey, hey !!!! why do we always think of the BIG names, eh? give the underdog a chance, manz! We evaluated the METCAL bga rework station, (they only have one model going, no worry, its loaded with smart innovations) we gave it thumbs up, 2 thu

Hi, thank you for the idea. I may try solder iron, but it much more slower since I have to solder spacers one by one. a stimpson press is used to press the spacer on the board and the edges of the spacers are rolled. Then we solder the edges to
