Does anyone out there run the adhesive side first and then the solder side and wash? I was just wondering if this is a good practice or not. I am afraid that we will lose some of the parts, that are just glued on, in the washer? Basically I am try

Unless you've got an extremely agressive cleaner, the epoxy should hold the parts during the delay time. That's their job basically. We ran reflow first pass, glue parts, then wave solder second pass. There were potential delays between adhesive b

The formula is a great help, where was it 20 years ago? LOL After running a few thousand different products over the years, you start to get a feel for what is going to be trouble with regards to falling off the bottomside during the secondary refl

From what I can gather, the annular rings are used for grounding when these boards are put in housings. A screw goes through the hole and is torqued down. If there is excess solder on the annular ring, the screw doesn't seat properly. The pallets cov

Is the peelable mask (put on by the boardhouse) flat on the surface of the pcb? If so can you tell me the material name, so maybe I can find a picture? We have to print adhesive on the board, so the mask has to be flat. That is why Kapton from the b

Hi Pr, No idea what the material is - we haven't usd it for a while now, but it was flush & didn't cause any printing problems on double sided reflow. Your board house should know all about it - I would suggest some but ours are all UK or China/Tai
