Mixing No-clean and water soluble processes

Electronics Forum | Wed Feb 24 11:28:09 EST 2010 | vleasher

I apologize for being so vague. It is a standard leaded process using ALPHA OM-5100 for the SMT. So would a reduction in wash temp result in less white residue?

Factory Lighting - specs and measurement ?

J-STD-001 guideline of 1000 lm/m^2 [93 fc] seems high, but it is the minimum level of illumination that operators and inspectors should have to perform their tasks. IESNA LPD Architectural Recommendations Type of Facility||General Area percent / fc

Solder paste height and metal squeegees

Just a bullet! My results are, .005" stencil thickness should measure between .0055" - .006" if your pressure is correct, metal blades and snap-off is set up correctly. Do you have aperture reductions at the QFP locations "typicial industry standard

| Does anyone use the "Quick Frame" with their Dek printer? | The threads on the screws keep stripping, so we thought | maybe we'd send our frames to a machine shop for heftier | screws. Has anyone done this? Is there a better way? | Isn't it weird h

Profile UP78 Alpha Metal ?

Hi Patrick, For UP 78 the best profile is also the easiest. Straight ramp to 220-225 1-2 degrees C per second TAL 45-60 seconds drop it staight off The Tech bulletin says the exact same thing. Former Alpha Guy here

SN100C vs. SAC 305 wave soldering

Electronics Forum | Wed Jan 04 17:06:20 EST 2006 | samir

All I can say about Alpha and their GOTT-DAMN website is THEY SUCK!! I refuse to register to view product literature... for that reason, Alpha Metals, you won't be looked at for my pb-free paste or bar solder evals.

Solder in wave soldering: Which one is the best?

Electronics Forum | Mon Feb 28 09:33:29 EST 2005 | lyrtech

Actually we're using ALPHA METAL Vaculoy 63SN/37Pb solder bars in our WAVE (ELECTROVERT ULTRAPACK 650C). With that solder, we use the ALPHA METAL LONCO SLS 65C flux. With this combination, we have many bridges and sometimes, the solder do not full co

Cleaning prototype PCB assemblies and waste water

Electronics Forum | Fri Jun 22 11:18:23 EDT 2007 | agillman

I realize I am jumping in late but here is some REAL information. Waste water is controlled by EACH POTW (waste facility). It is NOT centralized as in EPA. The POTW's are primarily concerned with what might damage their pipes. First among their conce

Solder paste height and metal squeegees

Electronics Forum | Fri Apr 20 16:05:17 EDT 2001 | gcs

We always reduce side to side, EXAMPLE: 12 mil width reduced to .010". Do you guys check viscosity ? Also maybe your guys are appling to much pressure on the sqweegee blades.
