Sorry for the delay. We are actually pretty busy over here. We have found the Aim 257-2 no-clean sac305 paste offers very little if any voiding and better wetting in lead free terminated devices. My suggestion is contact your local Aim distributor fo

I received my sample jar of NC257-2 SAC305 from Aim, and while that may have been true about older Aim paste formulations, this stuff prints and reflows better than anything I have tried and more importantly there were practically no voids on a 256 B

We currently use this devise in one of our designs with no issues. We are using a 3mil stencil and a 45% apperature reduction. It is virtually impossible to eliminate voids but they are in an acceptable range. Solder balls are caused on this componen

AIM can give a good result, I tried the solder paste from many manufacturer - AIM, Kester, Indium, Koki, Alpha Metals, Heraeus - but I stopped my choice at Kester. For example, right now I have EM907 with date of manufacture in february 2010 (it's ju

Hello , We are using Kester 959T flux and we wish to purchase Aim Ws 716 flux, due to higher activity. We also use humiseal 1a33 for conformal coating. Is anyone using Aim flux and humiseal 1A33, are they compatible ? Thank you for info

Thanks for responding..... The question I was trying to ask is if U appetures are mechanicaly strong, if the tab in the middle won't stik up and damage squeegee blades? I never had stencil with such appeturs. We are just about to start some trials

I am looking at two different type fluxes, Kester 951nc and AIM 264-5nc. The two seem to be comparable, but the Kester is listed as an ORL0 and the AIM as a ROL0. My product builds are all military and I have been dictated to use only ROl0 flux. I kn

Hi Ing, My suggestion is to take a good look at your profile(s). The Wave solder machine that I use is an Electrovert EPK I. I use Aim ultra pure 63/37 solder with an older kester flux, 920CFX. I recently switched from kester ultrapure to the aim ba

Interesting - We're using the same AIM products as you. On the lead free, 353, did you start out with it or did you try the WS485? That was the 1st product recommendation we got from AIM and we found that the lot to lot consistency was not good. T

I was using Indium 8.9 HF and AIM 257-2 was far superior in reducing voids. Just wait till you have a problem, if you have less than 10 lines running 24/7 don't expect a call back from Indium's Tech Support. It's been a couple weeks since we swithed
