Avillaro, I don't have hands on experience with Vapor Phase equipment, but my guess is that it will work better for thick boards like yours. Trying another chemistry is a logical move. May be it is worth trying the fixture for connector flatness as n

We've made the decision to move towards Gold Immersion on our PCBs to eliminate flatness issues with QFNs and BGAs. Land/component pad geometry, population density, and other factors, have made it necessary to ensure a near perfectly flat surface tha

I change the settings to match another machine we have and that actually got the original drives working after replacing the belt. I ordered an adapter that will connect to the 26 pin flat cable and adapt to a 34 pin connector and pull the power from

We have a unique connector with flat leads, i.e. the leads leave the connector body flat parallel to the pads. The leads are without a heel, they are flush with the connector body. Moreover, one can't solder beneath the connector because the leads ar

R1: Contacting Altera to find out if the BGA pads are gold. D1: Bet money the pads were ENIG. R2: Contacting Altera to find out if they use abrasives. D2: If abrasives were the problem, you�d see it in many pads, especially those close to the probl

Good tidings, all. I am looking for a machine that will allow us to mount a flat flexible strip (such as TennRich's B.Type) to a row of pads on a PCB. I have not much knowledge about the process, I guess I expect to see a machine with some hot bar.

Has anyone using these ovens had any problems with the chain (flat) belt slipping? I suggested to the tech we remove a link in the flat chain, and he responded it would make it out of warranty. It's the same type of chain flat belt as most wash and

Yes Siemens has a fixed tray feeder for matrix trays. If I remember correctly the tray will occupy 1/2 of the table.The feeder is a two part system 1) is the base 2) the the flat tray (just like what is used in the waffle pack changer). the flat tray

Two things: 1 A flat surface will probably help the "balls on the socket sliding off the ridge of HASL" problem, but possibly consider less risky choices for your flat surfaces that immersion silver, like: OSP, ENIG, and immersion tin. 2 Don�t throw-

Hello Everyone, Our board supplier changed our board surface finish on a prototype to flat solderable tin (FST) because of the PWB thickness (.125"). The pads seem to be contaminated, particularly on second side pass through reflow. The solder appea
