With Jars you tend to mix used paste back in with new paste and there is also a lot of air in the jar. If you are high mix try using cartridges and putting the used paste in little ziplock baggies. You can rip the baggies open including tearing the s

Hi all, I do know a little on PCB manufacturing. I would like to know whether using gold on PCB pads can cause soldering problems, both using automation and by hand. We are using a new device, 484-pin, 0.8mm, BGA and 0402 size capacitors. Or it can

Hi, Don't diving people put lead weight belts on them to hold them under the water. What metal do they use now, or are they still using lead. What about fishermen, do they still use lead sinkers on the fishing line like I saw people do when I was a

We will be hand soldering a small number of PCBs per week (both through hole and SMT) using a water soluble flux. We will be using both standard leaded and lead free solder. The completed assemblies be hand washed in a sink using hot water. Do we

I am looking for a mini acceleration switch for my application. It will be high volume, 1-5 million in quantity or better when in final production. It have to be really TINY and light weight. Packaging is not as critical since we do epoxy coated t

Let me clarify we throw out used paste after a week not the whole jar. Jars get used up every other day or so. We don't really have a procedure for used paste on the do's and don'ts so I'm in the process of creating one to avoid people adding flux t

MrDif: You don't add fresh paste to used paste? We add fresh paste to used paste on the stencil to replenish the paste consumed while printing boards, so that we maintain a nice thumb-size roll of paste. We change the used paste when we clean the ste

Hi, If your using NXT to place these BGA's then you must be doing large runs. BGA's are the most easy part to place, and don't worry about them. Just stencil paste down for them as any other component. But we use 1:1 reduction on our stencil, so we

Do you clean the stencil manually or using the automated under-stencil cleaner on your Printer (recommended)? 1. Ensure that stencil wipes are lint-free and soaked sufficiently with solvent before use. 2. If your printer supports automated cleaning
