Thanks for your reply. According to the manufacturer there isn't any palladium under the solderable coating on the chips...just nickel....i guess maybe the nickel is heavily oxidised. I have experienced the poor solubility (zero solubility at 210 deg

Hi Graham - brite acid tin gets it "shiny" appearance due to codeposited organic material in the tin plating. The codeposited materials volatilize during the soldering process causing a ton of voids. Brite acid tin plating should not be used as a sol

Nowadays is not a big deal to cut step stencils. Stencil houses charge you around 100USD per step in addition to your regular price. Some places are welding the step area with a very small clearance and I have to say mostly it is pretty accurate. In

For components with the large pads, you can also use secondary soldering dispensing. Some printers like DEK have an option to mount a syringe with an auger valve to do dispensing after the printing step process. Obviously will not work if you have to

What is everyone doing with their scraps from the depanel process? Our scraps (rails and any FR4 filling in blank spaces of the panel) don't contain any copper content so none of the local metal/electronics recycling outfits will take it. Are you a

Perhaps for the future, you could have your board house add copper thieving to the edges. I don't know if that will increase cost though. Most of our arrays come in with copper thieving and we don't ask for it. At least then you'd have copper in

We have been using Fuji CP-642 and are in love with them. Recently came across a CP-65 and wasn't sure of what improvements/changes Fuji did in the final years. Most everyone says CP-642 is the best. I do like having the sound of the feeders muffl
