I have to agree with Jax. We've had some successes, and some horrible failures using white-tin. Generally in solderability, and apparently related to the somewhat more rapid deterioration of white-tin finishes. We've run white-tin as an SMT only

| I am fairly new to the SMT game and I am getting conflicting answers to the following. Maybe someone can help me! When printing, one person is telling me that the stencil should be wiped completely clean of all paste because the quality of the

Sal: Now you�re talkin�, buddy!!! Darrell is correct. All things being equal, thermal relieved vias (and through holes) should be the hottest spot on the board at reflow temperatures. Vias are gonna take on solder like drippin�s take to biscuits.

Sheldon, Tip life is directly related to temperature, IRON plating thickness on the tip, Alloy composition used and operator technique. High tin contents in lead free alloys attach the tips. Poor wetting and higher melting temperatures cause us

| | Hello everyone, | | We found many cylindrical diodes missing during SMT process. Could someone tell us how to prevent this problem? Is it effective to change the shape of stencil apture or reduce fan speed in reflow oven? Thanks in advance. | |

Dave Many thanks for your very informative piece on SMT.com As we stand we have not yet 'seen' any problem. My issue is that we have ordered (LTB) a very large quantity of ASICS and our usage has taken a down-turn. We therefore need to keep the one

Wow, why all the anger? This gap you guys are talking about is measured as "G" in IPC/EIA J-STD-001 (Chunks was there, but she failed to read the fine print). And almost all parts that measure G follow Note 3 which states "Properly wetted fillet s

As many people have participated in this email string, including competitors and customers of Sawa, I would like to respond to especially one rather detailed email expressing concerns with this stencil cleaning system. Also, this teaches me to keep
